Holder hasn't read Ariz. law he criticized
The Washington Times ^ | May 13, 2010 | Stephen Dinan

Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., who has been critical of Arizona's new immigration law, said Thursday he hasn't yet read the law and is going by what he's read in newspapers or seen on television.

Mr. Holder is conducting a review of the law, at President Obama's request, to see if the federal government should challenge it in court. He said he expects he will read the law by the time his staff briefs him on their conclusions.

"I've just expressed concerns on the basis of what I've heard about the law. But I'm not in a position to say at this point, not having read the law, not having had the chance to interact with people are doing the review, exactly what my position is," Mr. Holder told the House Judiciary Committee.

This weekend Mr. Holder told NBC's "Meet the Press" program that the Arizona law "has the possibility of leading to racial profiling." He had earlier called the law's passage "unfortunate,"...

He’s too busy trying to get a pardon for Marc Rich, billionaire fugitive.

Oh wait, my bad, he’s already done that...

10 pages, double spaced, with headers, fairly large font, and wide margins.

That translates to about two pages of normal type.

Yet he didn’t bother reading it before criticizing it.

I hate these people.

He said he expects he will read the law by the time his staff briefs him on their conclusions.

The top law enforcement officer in the country cannot read a 20 page law before he criticizes the law. This is what happens when people are driven by ideology and not the rule of law.

Stunning.

Typical idiocy from an administration that has set new standards for it.

Wasn’t that an amazing statement. An Attorney, the HEAD of the Justice Department. What an utter jerk.

That sums it up well! This jerk is the number one law enforcement officer in the country.

No.

This administration is comprised of race baiters and race pimps...and absolutely nothing else.

Maybe Holder should be the Attorney Corporal, because an Attorney General would have read the friggin' bill.

Just like nobody read the Duelfer Report. If they had they would have found that Duelfer said the press would be grossly mischaracterizing the report if they put out a headline saying “No WMD’s Found in Iraq!” As it turns out everybody in government read the headlines - “No WMD’s Found in Iraq!” and didn’t bother with reading the report at all.

That’s why this nation is doomed to extinction if we don’t force the public (and government officials) to realize that what they read or hear in the MSM is pure propaganda with no basis in fact.

Seems like our “leaders” think they can govern this country by reading comic books. No grasp of the seriousness of the roles they’re pretending to fill.

Its a short law.

Reading it takes no more than two minutes for a non AA person.

Twenty for an AA baby.

They are waiting for Bertha Lewis to arrive so she can read it to the Odinga administration.
