Eric Holder’s long losing record before the Supreme Court

If Eric Holder were a baseball player, he’d have been benched long ago — if not kicked off the team. His batting average before the Supreme Court is abysmal, losing again and again in his efforts to undermine the Constitution.

This term featured four big strike downs.

First was Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, in which the Supremes tossed out ObamaCare’s contraceptive abortion mandate and upheld the First Amendment rights of several family-owned businesses to make their living in conformance with their religious beliefs.

Although the government was not party to another case, Harris v. Quinn, the Justice Department filed an amicus brief on the side of Illinois and the SEIU, arguing that unwilling home health-care workers could be forced into unions (and made to pay compulsory dues) simply because their services are paid for through Medicaid.

Fortunately, the Court ruled against Illinois’s heavy-handed attempt to help bolster its political allies, public sector unions.

On June 26, in National Labor Relations Board v. Canning, all nine Justices ruled that President Obama’s “recess” appointments to the NLRB violated the Constitution....

This is my twenty-three thousandth thread.

Guess which Texas politician/attorney has a MUCH better record before the court? The winner receives all the free employment seeking advice they can stand.

23k? WOW!...........

[E. Pluribus Unum]

That only proves that we need to sic the IRS on the conservative justices and replace them with Holder’s people.

You know how to look yours up don’t you?

Oh, I just saw your tagline. Duh!

Specifically. Plus not many people get to try cases before the Supreme Court or even the Appellate Courts. Usually only the heavy-hitters/cream-of-the-crop guys and gals,

My sincere apologies to the sloth.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Didn’t mention granddaddy case on Obamacare, Holder’s attorney’s (use the term loosely) were laughed at because of their ridiculous arguments. They just lucked out that Roberts gave them a pass calling it a Tax which wasn’t argued by either side.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Indeed.

Well, I already have a job (for a while longer, anyway. I may be medically retired by the end of the year). How about a copy of "Freerepublic: the home game"?

The Humblegunner piece would have a must attack any blogger it is capable of rule.
I don't know about the others though.

Get Whitey Holder is racist #2 after Soetoro.

Think of it rather more like Chess than Monopoly. ;-)

You do seem familiar......

What is the current status of Holder’s contempt of congress?
