Holder went from working as a private sector defense attorney for the Gitmo detainees to......a pubic sector AG who is working as a defense attorney for the Gitmo detainees. A job change with no new job assignment.

What has the 52% wrought on the other 48%? Geez. What a bunch of goof-up, know-nothing, community activists. And that’s being nice.
