I prefer to have Holder stay through 2012.

His stupendous incompetence will prevent much damage being done and will be an incentive to vote Obama out.

The author doesn't get it. The head of an organization informs the way it runs. Holder is doing exactly what he was hired to do.

Repeatedly Holder presents viewpoints that are in keeping with his political aspirations but run contrary to the rule of existing law

SOP for the Obama administration. They are like the Ninth Circuit. You have to MAKE them stop, if you can.

In blunder after blunder the President has already repeatedly been forced to back away from the decision making at the Justice Department.

The problem 0bama has, as I see it, is the decisions Holder is making are the same decisions 0bama would make himself. The reason Holder is having trouble is all the DoJ decisions are right out there in plain sight unlike other czar-led offices who operate in the background and whose decisions aren't seen or felt for months even years later.

0bama agrees with Holder otherwise he'd have been fired long ago. He backs away saying 'that wasn't me that was the Attorney General's decision...' Any sane person would fire someone who makes them look so bad so often.

legal scholars I've spoken with have by the dozens scratched their heads, and issued muted puzzled responses on what the clear legal strategy was for Holder to win.

The DOJ lawsuit against Arizona isn't about law. It's about politics and pandering to the pro-illegal lobby that the Obama Admin is doing something for them. Only in that context does the lawsuit make any "sense."

Excellent article. Thanks for posting all of it.

The question for the President will be, how many more of these laughingstock facials...

Facials? Maybe the author meant farcicals?

Holder is but one of a number of folks in the nobama regime that are prime examples of the Peter Principle. What a shame that Dr. Peter is no longer around. I'm sure he would have been delighted in studying this working laboratory that proves his principle over and over.

I wouldn’t count on the judge to uphold the Arizona law. Even if she does, the decision will be appealed to the Circuit Court. This battle is at an early stage.

We may only wish that Eric Holder would not last. He will last precisely as long as the now failing obama regime shall last. And I don’t see the “ethical” occupant of the Oval Office surrendering anytime soon.

Of course, the actions of the current occupant of the Oval Office may still be largely nullified by widespread acts of non-compliance and civil disobedience, and by a Congressional majority that shows a little backbone. Of that majority, party label means little, but dedication to Constitutional imperatives means a lot.

“Molon Labe” were the words of Leonidas when his 300 were called upon by the Persians to throw down their arms. Literally translated, “Come and take them”, meaning the weapons would have to be pried out of the cold and clenched hands of the dead defenders.

Senate Panel Approves Holder Nomination For AG

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said he supports Holder’s view that the country needs to interrogate terrorism suspects based on American values.

“I am confident this new attorney general will have a balanced approach and I look forward to working with him. I know he’s made mistakes and so have I,” Graham said.

USC to get new business building
Funds will come from leasing current building to Department of Justice

An estimated 250 Justice Department employees working in different locations near Washington, D.C., will be relocated to Columbia over an unspecified period.

Graham said U.S. taxpayers will save $42 million by having Justice Department employees working in South Carolina, which has lower costs than Washington.

“It was almost too good to be true,” Graham said of the plan. “But it proved to be true.”

Graham, a Republican, praised U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and Deputy Attorney General David Ogden, both of whom were appointed by President Obama, a Democrat.

“I can’t thank Eric Holder and David Ogden enough,” Graham said, adding they offered their support for a leasing plan that was initiated during the administration of George W. Bush.

I thought that Obama was to be protecting the public good. Instead, he protects the inept friends he puts in office by leaving them in office in spite of their ineptitude.

Obama is a joke, a very bad one as POTUS's go. He is going to leave such a bitter taste in the mouth of the electorate that it may be decades before another person of color is elected.

Alberto Gonzalez (under GW Bush) was weak and awful. It is a tie between him and Holder and both (amusingly enough) got their jobs for diversity/affirmative action reasons

Holder is not making "blunders". He is doing Mugabe's, er, I mean, 0bama's bidding in trashing the Constitution and America's Rule of Law.

Holder is as evil and purposeful as his boss.

Kevin doesn't get it. None of these folks will fart without first getting Obama's direction. He appointed these people based on two simple criteria: 1.) They had to absolutely loyal to Obama personally, no matter what; 2.) They had to be less intelligent and less competent than himself, so he wouldn't feel threatened by them. The first is to be expected. The second is particularly telling, however. And again, for two reason:

1.) When you look at the collective intelligence and competence of Eric Holder, Janet Napolitano, Tim Geitner, Christine Romer, and the rest of Obama's cast of characters, you get a much better picture of just how pathetically uneducated, unknowledgeable, incompetent, and unintelligent Obama really is;

2.) Unlike Obama, truly great leaders surround themselves with people both smarter and more knowledgeable than themselves, and then sit back and watch these folks debate the issues amongst themselves. The great leader brings to the table wisdom, vision, instinct, a sense of history, and an understanding of people. The great leader is never threatened by someone smarter or more knowledgeable them themselves, because they view these people as resources that make the great leader greater than him or her own self.

This Regime is devoid of brain cells that function normally. They are filled with hatred for this country and an insatiable need for absolute power.

For his racism, incompetence, and isolationist worldview begin to be attributed to his superiors if not kept in check. And thus far he has been anything but kept in check.

The author seems to discount the possibility that Holder is doing exactly what Obama wants him to do. I doubt US AGs ever make all the decisions about which controversial and high profile cases to pursue, or not pursue.

It’s a bit troubling to see at least three spelling and punctuation errors in this column. I have reference to “it’s” (should have been “its”) and “law’s” (should have been “laws”) and “Good luck there too genius” (should have had a comma after “too”).

These are errors one would not have expected in a piece by a professional writer.
