Contemptible Attorney General Found In Contempt Of Congress

Posted on Comments

Breitbart:

Republican House leaders are finally holding Attorney General Eric Holder accountable for some of his actions. Representative Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, drafted a 48-page contempt of Congress citation against him. The charge? Repeatedly obstructing and slowing the investigation of Operation Fast and Furious.
This means the top House leaders are on board. The top committee officials met for most of the day in Speaker John Boehner’s office and he gave them permission to move ahead. Finally!

Three cheers for the House GOP for getting to where they should have been, oh, months ago.

Update: Or not. That’s OK, Eric: you can rest assured that most Americans have less respect for your record than a urinal cake.

We Must Support Our Attorney General

This blog wholeheartedly concurs with the Attorney General. If the immature, irresponsible attitude about firearms is allowed to spiral out of control, our citizenry may be reduced to looking for rounds in all the wrong places:

I am, of course, referring to this bloviation from Eric holder:


In the finest spirit of “nutrition is not a private matter” Holder behaves as though gun violence is a problem that the government should combat through propaganda means. Existing laws don’t matter. The various weapon safety courses offered by, for example, the NRA? Why mention that?

Rolling forward 15 years, and we’re in the middle of Fast & Furious. Now, I’m confident that Holder has a signed pardon #OccupyResoluteDesk in a safe already, just to keep things simple, and give him the confidence to emit his verbal flatus into the Congressional record. However, given Holder’s record and this clip, I don’t think that there is any shred of ambiguity remaining that Holder is an enemy of the Constitution and all we hold dear.

Holder is so atrocious that I think it’s a feature that he hold on until the end. He makes a far better albatross than he would a symbol of defeat at this stage. We should support our Attorney General by continuing to point and laugh at him while he adds to the drag coefficient of the Administration.

Voter ID, Eric Holder and the Increasingly Partisan Nature of ‘Civil Rights’

Posted on Comments

In case you haven’t figured it out by now, “civil rights” has become a code phrase for “whatever Democrats want,” so that anyone who disagrees with Democrats is said to be “anti-civil rights.” Case in point, the Texas voter ID law:

The Justice Department’s civil rights division on Monday objected to a new photo ID requirement for voters in Texas because many Hispanic voters lack state-issued identification.

Why do Hispanic voters in Texas “lack state-issued identification”?

No drivers license? No passport? Nothing?

Is it cynical — or perhaps even racist — to suggest that many Hispanics in Texas don’t have ID because they are illegal immigrants and, as such, are not actually legal voters? Are Republicans just a bunch of xenophobic bigots for suspecting that Democrats oppose voter ID laws because they hope to use the votes of illegal aliens (or other methods of vote fraud) to elect Democrats?

Isn’t the Justice Department’s entire rationale for opposing the Texas voter ID law an extension of the belief that the partisan interests of the Democratic Party are coterminous with “civil rights”? Democrats actually believe they have the right to win elections, even by blatantly illegal means, and so any measure that might prevent ineligible people from voting is a violation of “civil rights.”

Now you know why “corrupt Democrat” is redundant: No honest person would ever get involved in the Democratic Party.

ADDENDUM: Doesn’t this show why “critical race theory” is relevant?

 

Yid With Lid Raises A Provocative Question On Senator Ted Stevens

Posted on Comments

There are enough layers of indirection here that the Lid’s causal question is more than a little coy: “Did Justice Dept. Malpractice Kill Senator Ted Stevens?” But the WSJ says:

. . .the blame for the 60th [ObamaCare] vote really belongs to the U.S. Justice Department.
That’s the day a federal court has ordered the release of an independent report on Justice’s “systematic concealment” of evidence. Specifically, the report ordered by Judge Emmet Sullivan found that federal attorneys prosecuting the late Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska hid “significant exculpatory evidence which would have independently corroborated [his] defense and his testimony, and seriously damaged the testimony and credibility of the government’s key witness.”

The case seems to be that Senator Stevens was the victim of a gross miscarriage of justice. While ‘gross miscarriage of justice’ is par for the Eric Holder course, and one would be naive to think Stevens was severely angelic, the notion of a fair trial is still an American ideal. Isn’t it? Holder has done a thoroughgoing job of sodomizing the notion.

And how is this going to look for #OccupyResoluteDesk? Admittedly, it’s really not possible for him and his sad pack of jackwagons to look much worse. But what this blog hopes people get out of this, and the Sandra Fluke story, is that Obama. Must. Go. He will write out a stack of pardons for his ghoulish little creepshow cast, and they can all find the Commie lecture circuit, golf course, whatever.

However, I don’t care if Zeeba the Syphilitic Camel limps its gangrenous, spavined carcass out of the GOP Convention. If you fail to support that camel, you are risking the continuation of the Obama Administration. Sure, I think all the candidates suck. It’s fun to say: ‘I cannot tell the difference between Obama and that doof you support, and will not vote for him.’ But when you look at Holder, Sebelius, Napolitano, &c, it’s hard to conclude that such primary season airs are rational. Maybe it is possible to conclude that, say, a Ron Paul administration would somehow achieve worse depths of fascism than we’ve seen from Chicago-on-the-Potomac. I just don’t see how.

Ted Stevens, love him or hate him, really got bent over. Tempting though it is to think about going all Hammurabi on the Obama Administration, I do hope we cleave to the moral high ground here, kick them all out of office, and work to keep them all separated from levers of power until they join Stevens wherever he went.

You Make The Call: Is This The Most Raaaaacist Vehicle In America?

  • Criticism of the POTUS is raaaaacist.
  • The POTUS and cretinbeing bearing the title Attorney General are of similar racial background.
  • This vehicle appears critical of the one called Attorney General, whose arguments have the weight of something ducked up. Therefore, these vehicles arguments are made of raaaaacist wood, meaning the vehicle is something which must be burned.

On a tangentially related note, this blog has received a review copy of The Whistleblower. I haven’t seen yet where, if at all, Eric Holder is mentioned.
However, as a guy who is both deeply familiar with Presidential pardons and buried in kimchi a few feet over his head at the moment, you sort of know that there is going to be a big fat pardon coming to him in a fast and furious fashion.

Should Eric Holder Resign And Become Head Of A Green Energy Start-Up?

The Conservatory reports that the jig is up on the Fast & Furious farce. Or is it?

I’m guessing that if Holder were to exit the administration and develop a sudden interest in solar panels, he could get a whole new lease on corruption. Suggested name for the company: Sordlyna.

I am so teh creative.

So, what are we to do, should Cryin’ Johnnie Boehner fail to call for a resignation, or up the ante toward impeachment? Inquiring minds want to know: is the GOP position on the Obama Administration corruption anything other than fetal, with oral thumb?

Or did the Tea Party revolution of 2010 produce a sad pack of neutered crapsacks?

Faced With Maxed-Out Race Card, Can Eric Holder Get A Rep. Allen West Bailout? Why, No; No, He Cannot!

The blogs have been on about Eric “The Bolder” Holder’s NYT interview, where he few a Hail Jerry* and said that:

“This is a way to get at the president because of the way I can be identified with him,” he said, “both due to the nature of our relationship and, you know, the fact that we’re both African-American.”

The Daily Caller quotes Allen West, who:

. . .said Holder’s use of race as a way to attack his critics is “the most insidious thing I ever heard.”
“I grew up in the United States military and it’s not about your color, it’s about your competence, it’s about your abilities to execute a mission,” West said. “If your commanding officer turns heat on you, it’s because you have failed to achieve the mission and I think what we’re doing is we’re looking at something that was a very horrible program — this Operation Fast and Furious.”

Extensive research by this blog’s layers of fact checkers shows that neither the gross incompetence, nor the starkly ideological mindset, nor the generally peevish demeanor of the Attorney General or #OccupyResoluteDesk has any genetic component. They must have been nurtured to suck; nature is having none of it.

So Elena Kagan Has About The Same Notion Of Integrity As Eric Holder

CNSNews reports:

Internal Justice Department email communications made just days before the House of Representatives passed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act show that then-Solicitor General Elena Kagan was brought into the loop as DOJ began preparing to respond to an anticipated legal complaint that Mark Levin and the Landmark Legal Foundation were planning to file against the act if the House used a procedural rule to “deem” the bill passed even if members never directly voted on it.
In another internal DOJ email communication that same week, Kagan alerted the chief of DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel to the constitutional argument that a former U.S. Appeals Court judge was making against the use of this rule.

Read the whole thing, which goes on to describe redacted emails and enough detail to really make you wonder whether that woman can tell the difference between the Constitution and a horoscope.

Via Michelle Malkin, we have Eric Holder attempting to describe the Obama Administration of lying:I guess that, in the Postmodern emotional realm in which Obama and his chums operate, it’s only lying if you felt naughty while you did it, notwithstanding sex, where naughtiness is considered erotic.

I hope that Kagan understands that ObamaCare is going to dog the rest of her professional life, and that her honorable course is to retire quietly.
