I simply think it's time for Eric Holder to go. |
|
He is NOT running the Justice department to protect Americans but rather to protect big business. When Republicans get outraged because of handing of guns over to criminals and persons needing medical marijuana are being treated as criminals, I think we need to start the call of his firing.
You know how to get in touch with your Congress critter.
For the people.

3. He refused to prosecute Booshe and Chinney, that alone should have been enough to oust him. |

9. Eric Holder should never had been appointed in the first place. |
|
One of Holder's accomplishments is representing Chiquita in a guilty plea for supporting murdurous paramilitaries in Latin America.
POTUS Obama and DOJ Holder have failed to uphold the rule of law and, worse, are selective in enforcement.

13. Duncan is simply carrying out President Obama's education agenda |
|
Edited on Wed Oct-12-11 01:51 PM by Freddie Stubbs
If President Obama were to replace him, it would only be someone else implementing a different agenda.
If you don't like the current education policy, your options are changing the President's mind or changing Presidents.

14. I think this is the other way around |
|
I think it was Duncan that sold Obama a bill of goods, not Obama having Duncan institute his policies. Duncan was advocating his ideas long before Obama had any clout.

He accepted Duncan's projections and plans because they worked in Chicago, so he's gone nationally.
The gathering of advisors I'll give you, he is terrible at that...I can't think of many of his choices I would have gone with.

34. How does your personal knowledge of the individual change his professional actions? |
|
It isn't unusual for personal affection and/or friendship to result in tolerance that goes beyond what would be accepted from a stranger.
Your response also is snide and lacking in wisdom (or at least such is implied) as you indicate/hint/allude that the OP wishes for TeaPubliKlans when the reality is they don't like the job your buddy is doing.

I say "judge the tree by the fruit it bears."
He has time to persecute medical marijuana dispensers, but no time to prosecute Wall Street criminals. Do you know something in the public record we don't?

25. Eric Holder is only following the agenda and tone set by the WH. |
|
I have my issues with him, but I don't believe the number of prosecutions (or lack thereof) are solely a result of his lack of willpower.
The buck stops at the top. Direct your disgust towards the correct boss.

26. Yes and no, I agree entirely that the agenda is set by the WH, but they were chosen because they |
|
have/had similar goals. They contribute to the cause by making suggestions and doing at least some ear whispering for their own personal money daddies, in short they are all just as guilty and of the same mind.
They are stronger, more capable, and more damaging as a dedicated group than they would be as simply yes men to one guy with bad Republican ideological goals.

37. I don't believe they have similar goals. Holder has gone toe to toe with Obama, but Obama |
|
gets the final say. If Obama were to tell Holder to go after bank barons, I bet we'd see charges filed in less than a week.
