Holder will be obviously the most corrupt, totalitarian Attorney General in American history.

Oh, no no no...Surely you know that title is reserved for the eeeeevil John Ashcroft, who hated black people and wanted to wiretap billions of innocent Americans so he could force his religious beliefs on them. Plus, he was Hitler...AND Satan...Both...

Holder has long viewed the AG spot as "his." His PRECIOUSSsss. You'd better not threaten to take away his Precious. When you do, the meek, gentlemanly face gives way ...

Gee... Specter acting like a Republican senator? What next?

Sadly enough, he'll get over it.

"You're getting close to the line. You're getting close to questioning my integrity," Holder said. "That is not appropriate. That is not fair."

What integrity?

just imagine what Holder, the MSM, or any Dem for that matter, would say if either Justices Roberts or Alito had stated (with every right to do so in their case) during their confirmation hearings ... "You're getting close to the line. You're getting close to questioning my integrity."

”You’re getting close to the line. You’re getting close to questioning my integrity,” Holder said. “That is not appropriate. That is not fair.”

Not fair? You've got to be kidding.

Silly me. I always thought that the purpose of the Senate's 'Advice and Consent' role in appointments was precisely to 'question' the qualifications, temperament and integrity of nominees.

Liberals, when pressed, resort to statements of selective indignation..

He is up for re-election in 2010...

Damn, AC, you beat me to it!

A shame, isn't it, that when a politician half does something right, the first instinct is to see when he/she is up for reelection...

I hold no brief for the nominee, but I wonder what would have happened if Holder claimed Scottish law as his reasoning...considering Spectacle's recent support for it...
