Eric Holder was the one who enforced this atrocity for Janet Reno and the Clinton Administration.

A veteran Justice Department lawyer says that Attorney General Eric Holder has politicized the department in a way he hadn’t seen before. In short, “Holder is the worst person to hold the position of attorney general since the disgraced John Mitchell.”
Now in his sixth year as attorney general, Holder has increasingly tilted the department in an ideological direction. It’s one thing to emphasize President Obama’s legal priorities. It’s quite another to decide not to enforce certain federal laws — such as the ban on marijuana — or urge state attorney generals to refuse to defend local laws on same-sex marriage. Legal changes are achieved through legislation, not through a sudden whim not to enforce them. No other attorney general has acted in this manner. Holder clearly believes he has the inherent power to politicize his department. When House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte asked him last week whether he believed there were any limits to the administration’s prosecutorial discretion. “There is a vast amount of discretion that a president has — and more specifically that an attorney general has,” Holder responded.
But courts have frequently disagreed with Holder’s interpretations of the law. Just last week, a US District Court judge issued an order denying Justice’s request for veto power over school-choice scholarships awarded to students by the state of Louisiana. Justice had sued Louisiana last August seeking an injunction to stop it from distributing school vouchers to kids seeking to escape failing schools using the pretext of decades-old desegregation orders. Justice’s action is pure politics, driven by the fact that Democrats are beholden to teachers unions.
Justice’s ideological zealotry is on display across a host of other issues.

Civil rights are apparently not for whites either
“Holder is the worst person to hold the position of attorney general since the disgraced John Mitchell.”
In all honesty, there is no person qualified to hold that position who Obama selects. The AG will be every bit as bad as the nominator.
Holder enforces what his and his gay leader wish the laws were.
De facto dictatorship.
“Now in his sixth year as attorney general, Holder has increasingly tilted the department in an ideological direction.”
It took 6 yrs for this to be realized? Wow, I saw it WAY back,maybe I’m a little smarter than I thought I was....................modest too!
“After we win this election, it’s our turn. Payback time. Everyone not with us is against us and they better be ready because we don’t forget. The ones who helped us will be rewarded, the ones who opposed us will get what they deserve. There is going to be hell to pay. Congress won’t be a problem for us this time. No election to worry about after this is over and we have two judges ready to go.” - Valerie Jarret, the real President.
Of course, when you call Holder out on his biases and selective enforcement, he cries racism — and I mean crying like a baby on a redeye flight.
All Partisanship aside, Holder really should be impeached for turning America’s foremost department for “Equal Justice for All” into a Democrat-run attack center.
It’s one of the most dangerous things I can imagine.
Eric “Don’t go there, buddy,” “My people” Holder. What else would anyone expect?
This Administration, to a greater extent than any that precede it, views everything through a political lens. For them, political power is to be used to achieve political goals and no constraints: legal, Constitutional, or moral apply. They are a rogue government engaged in blatant criminal activity, daring anyone to do something about it.
These people understand that a civilized society is ill suited to deal with overt criminal action at the hands of legitimate national leaders. Civilized society is bound by the rule of law and expects leaders to voluntarily stay within its bounds. Obama and Holder openly defy the law to obtain their goals. They know that no one will do anything about it.
They have made all the agencies attack centers. just think how hard it will be to purge that attitude out of those departments after Obama is gone.

The man is a hypocritical racist.
Arbitrary enforcement is where the real power lies.
Holder is a whole lot worse than John Mitchell, partly because the watergate crimes pale beside the crimes of the Obama administration and their supporters.
Steadman!
Don’t be overly hard on the man. Holder is too dense between the ears, and too long shaped by cultural militancy to extricate himself from partisan politics. A long vacation in a federal country club is just what he needs to help him get perspective.
