It's a legacy he'll likely draw on when he travels Wednesday to Ferguson, Missouri, to supervise the federal investigation of the fatal shooting of a black 18-year-old by a white police officer.

If he stirs up more racial tension he’ll have achieved his goal.

"How as a college student, he was twice pulled over, his car searched, even though he wasn't speeding."

I had this happen to me multiple times in the South as a college student (while being white) while crusing in small towns not in the same county as stamped into my car plate.

A lot of "racism" isn't.

It would be interesting to know if Holder was stopped before or after he joined the armed takeover of the ROTC.
