Every cop has discretion. It’s a beautiful thing when you don’t get stopped or ticketed for speeding, not using a turn signal, driving in the passing lane. I get what Holder is doing is questionable but the Justice Dept and every cop in America has enjoyed at least some level of discretion. It’s perfectly legitimate for local sheriffs not to enforce ridiculous gun laws but not for the A.G. to do the same to things he feels are wrong. For the record, I cant stand Holder but a little clarity is needed on this issue. Nobody has a problem with discretion until they are doing something you disagree with.

“It’s perfectly legitimate for local sheriffs not to enforce ridiculous gun laws but not for the A.G. to do the same to things he feels are wrong.”

We’re not even talking comparable issues when it comes to Holder.
Local sheriffs choosing not to harass people over blatantly Unconstitutional issues is doing harm to no one.
Holder, on the other hand is intentionally interfering with the enforcement of immigration laws, withholding evidence of prior criminal activity to prevent sentencing based on the unfairness that “his people” are disproportionately affected, and a whole host of other abuses of power based on what he feels is “just” rather than what the law requires. There are real victims of his lawlessness.

Heil Hitler!

If this is discretion, then I have a problem with discretion!

"Discretion" is not in the Constitution.
