So Congress sent them a strongly worded letter. I am sure that will stop the Democrats from ever doing that again.

Better than a strongly-worded letter, I guess.

[Edward.Fish]

Ditto here. What will Sessions do? If nothing, time to look at another AG.

There's a lot of FReepers here that seem to think of Sessions as superman, standing for Truth, Justice, and The American Way… I, however, believe that he is compromised: he voted in favor of the Iran Deal (as amended by the Corker Amendment), which seems to be a clear case of Treason as defined by the Constitution. [Granted, 97 of 100 senators did so; but they are not exempt from Treason. (See Art 1, Sec 6, Paragraph 1.)]

Fire Sessions. He ‘s a big nothing burger.

[chris37]

I’m not interested in slams.

Don’t even give a damn.

Put this rat prick in prison right now, otherwise shut up.

[subterfuge]

Um, it was far more than a “botched gun-running operation.”

[Cobra64]

Yak,.. Yak,..Yak. All talk, no action. Wake me up when Holder is in JAIL.

[Blue Highway]

He’s in California now? I thought he was a Chicago slimeball like Rahm Emmanuel...

[GOPJ]

Was the ‘Lone Wolf Gun Store’ an FBI sting?

[ridesthemiles]

Sure would be fun to see Holder in Prison & that would save the California taxpayers $25,000 a month for the retainer fee Gov Brown agreed to pay Holder to keep the state alive as a Sanctuary area.

“Better than a strongly-worded letter, I guess.”

Oh yes, much better - this was a REPORT!!

sigh...

"California Hires Eric Holder as Legal Bulwark Against Donald Trump"

LOS ANGELES — Girding for four years of potential battles with President-elect Donald J. Trump, Democratic leaders of the California Legislature announced Wednesday that they had hired Eric H. Holder Jr., who was attorney general under President Obama, to represent them in any legal fights against the new Republican White House.

The decision by the Legislature to retain Mr. Holder, who is now a prominent Washington lawyer, is the latest sign of the ideological battle that may play out over the next four years between this predominantly Democratic state and Washington. Hillary Clinton, the Democratic candidate for president, defeated Mr. Trump by more than four million votes here.

“Having the former attorney general of the United States brings us a lot of firepower in order to prepare to safeguard the values of the people of California,” Kevin de León, the Democratic leader of the Senate, said in an interview. “This means we are very, very serious.”

If Holder wasn’t black, he could still be impeached, convicted, and prevented from holding another federal office.

The only slam I want to hear is a jail cell door, fat chance republican cowards

[Olog-hai]

Collaborators, not cowards. They’d only be cowards if they ever held conservative principles and then threw them away in the face of contention. But they never held them in the first place. They are the kind of Republican described here:

The New Deal, Dean Acheson wrote approvingly in a book called A Democrat Looks At His Party, “conceived of the federal government as the whole people organized to do what had to be done.” A year later, Mr. (Arthur) Larson wrote A Republican Looks At His Party, and made much the same claim in his book for modern Republicans. The “underlying philosophy” of the New Republicanism, said Mr. Larson, is that “if a job has to be done to meet the needs of the people, and no one else can do it, then it is the proper function of the federal government.”

Here we have, by prominent spokesmen of both political parties, an unqualified repudiation of the principle of limited government. There is no reference by either of them to the Constitution, or any attempt to define the legitimate functions of government. The government can do whatever needs to be done; note, too, the implicit but necessary assumption that it is the government itself that determines what needs to be done. We must not, I think, underrate the importance of these statements. They reflect the view of a majority of the leaders of one of our parties, and of a strong minority among the leaders of the other, and they propound the first principle of totalitarianism: that the State is competent to do all things and is limited in what it actually does only by the will of those who control the State. […]

Franklin Roosevelt’s rapid conversion from Constitutionalism to the doctrine of unlimited government is an oft-told story. But I am here concerned not so much by the abandonment of states’ rights by the national Democratic Party — an event that occurred some years ago when that party was captured by the socialist ideologues in and about the labor movement — as by the unmistakable tendency of the Republican Party to adopt the same course. […] Thus, the cornerstone of the Republic, our chief bulwark against the encroachment (on) individual freedom by Big Government, is fast disappearing under the piling sands of absolutism.

The Republican Party, to be sure, gives lip service to states’ rights. We often talk about “returning to the states their rightful powers”; the Administration has even gone so far as to sponsor a federal-state conference on the problem. But deeds are what count, and I regret to say that in actual practice, the Republican Party, like the Democratic Party, summons the coercive power of the federal government whenever national leaders conclude that the states are not performing satisfactorily. …

Now that was published in 1960. It’s 2017, or 57 years later. How deeply ingrained may one think this might be?
