Well, of course our first affirmative-actioned AG would be under our first affirmative-actioned POTUS.

And people are surprised? I know the MSM media isn’t because they don’t know either, otherwise it’s be flashed on CNN.

Sounds to me that if they don’t wish to defend this law, then they should be defunded. We certainly don’t need justice lawyers sitting around with nothing to do.

Holder's letter made reference to the "equal protection component" of the Fifth Amendment. That is not an uncommon way, nowadays, for the concept of "reverse incorporation" to be expressed.
See, e.g., Washington v. Davis, 426 U.S. 229, 239 (1976): "The central purpose of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment is the prevention of official conduct discriminating on the basis of race. It is also true that the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment contains an equal protection component prohibiting the United States from invidiously discriminating between individuals or groups. Bolling v. Sharpe, 347 U. S. 497 (1954)."

The due process clause applies against the federal government via the 5th amendment.

Obama hires people around him based on how much the worship him, not on their abilities. I heard today that several of his cabinet members had not received so much as a phone call from him in over 2 years.

the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment There is no such express "clause" in the Amendment.
Of course, even without such an explicit clause, I agree that the requirements in the Amendment apply to the the federal government, and should protect all persons.
At least the people's legitimate rights, of which sodomy is not one.

As usual, they have the world turned on its head.
DOMA is meant to protect states from having to accept sodomy fake marriage, just because other states have in some way or another (mostly by judicial fiat) accepted such immoral nonsense.
So, as usual, the Left has everything exactly backwards. This is just one more example.

Maybe Holder doesn’t know his gound from a hole the butt. Or maybe he got gound from having his head up his butt so much.

He doesn't have to, no more than knowing the difference between a flat-blade and a phillips screwdriver. He's a hack whose job is to run interference for benefit of the regime. No more, no less. His job is safe for a long as he wants it, and he knows it.

The people in charge took an oath to uphold the laws of America. Failure to due so is grounds for removal from office.
