"U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said in a New York Times interview published Monday that state attorneys general aren’t required to defend laws they consider discriminatory..."
Well, then. Given that abortion laws discriminate against the rights of unborn children, I say we get to work...
Then I guess the states do not have to enforce the ObamaCare law either, right?
I guess states don’t have to abide by any executive order by the lawless Obama, right. See, others can play lawless too.
Laws have become meaningless.
America is truly becoming a banana republic.
Since when does Holder have any authority over STATE AG’s???
Who is he to grant them permission to do or not do anything?
Can they also ignore EPA directives that they disagree with?
AG’s are subject to the same professional ethics rules as any other lawyer. They cannot do harm to their client. The most they can do is withdraw over claimed conflict with no comments on merits of a case so as to allow somebody else to zealously defend their client.
Holder is trying to get some AG’s dissbarred.
AG advocates ethical malfeasance?
For the list.
It is the policy of the chief law enforcement occupant that there is NO NEED to enforce the LAW.
Keep that in mind.
Would Holder defend the rights of normal people in hard left states who don’t want their children inundated with the fag agenda?
Official stated policy of the DOJ is lawlessness. Do they not see that it will come back to bite them? When the government feels entitled to pick and choose the laws it enforces, the people will do likewise. The republic, and the rule of law, collapses.
“Holder said that state attorneys general should carefully analyze laws that raise major constitutional issues before deciding whether to defend them.”
Good. States can now refuse to obey unconstitutional dictates from Washington. We can start by banning fascist federal bureaucrats from states and giving black-robed commies 24 hours to leave.
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?
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.
islamism
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”
Wow. From the US Attorney General.
Wow.
