I understand the distinction, the larger point is that the nation’s top law guy is telling states to ignore certain laws. If the Left wants to pick and choose and the corrupt MSM tacitly approve, then others should be free to pick and choose what laws or directives they are inclined to follow, or not.

AGs that won’t enforce the law should be jailed. If they don’t like their job, they should resign.

Are states’ attorneys general also going to be permitted/required to enforce laws that don’t exist but that the US AG thinks would be proper?

Since when are the Attorneys General of the sovereign States answerable to comrade Beria Holder?
To: Qbert
Corruption of the U.S Judicial system of the highest order. He’s not saying State Attorney Generals don’t have to prosecute laws they feel are discriminatory, he’s saying they don’t have to prosecute laws that the Attorney General of the U.S feels is discriminatory.

Obama Administration:
If we don’t like a law nobody has to enforce it.
If we like a law enforcement is mandatory.
If we disagree with a new law we will sue your state.
Kangaroo courts and prison camps to follow.
All we need is a big enough ‘crisis.’

Holder almost got it right. Drop the words “attorneys general” from the quote, and substitute “unconstitutional” for “discriminatory”

There a lot of ways to go with this. For instance, State AGs won’t have to defend firearms laws which are unconstitutional. I think Holder might be on to something.

Good. Guess who’s going to stop following the NFA...

Then I guess the states do not have to enforce the ObamaCare law either, right? It is apparent that Holder has formally endorsed the reality on the ground, namely that we are now living in a lawless state. From this point on, every GOP gevernor should say, "Following the example of the President and endorsement of the Attorney General, from this point on we will no longer enforce gun restrictions we believe violate the Second Amendment, ..." or fill in the blank. You sow the wind, and reap the whirlwind. This should relieve the Nervous Nellies on our side who caterwaul nonsense about "following the law." There is no law as of this date, so "breaking" the law is a matter of utilitarian consideration, i.e. "Can I get away with it?"

Holder: State Attorneys General Dont Have to Defend Same-Sex Marriage BansIs it racist to make the observation that most individuals on the levers of government today, transforming the US government into a criminal enterprise are black?
From the top down.
The exact reverse of the objectives of the Constitution, which, by sheer accident begins with the words...
WE THE PEOPLE..."

TX AG Greg Abbott has fought against 0Care, repeatedly. I guess he, as AG, can decide to just completely ignore any and all 0Care laws for TX. Good. Two can play that game.

Exactly right...
Gee, Holder, let’s not enforce tax laws, anti-gun laws, EPA sh!t laws, animal abuse laws, hmmmm?
We live in a totalitarian state where the vote and established laws mean nothing...until it hits our door steps (or the press’ news rooms), no one will give a crap.....buy ammo.
