Holder hearings won't be 'smooth sailing'

Holder hearings won't be 'smooth sailing' 1/8/09 Traditionally, the primary job of the AG has been to play CYA for his administration, and especially for his president. Has the nature of that job suddenly changed?

Playing politics? Was it Chuck Schumer that made that charge?

collardgreens is right but with this extension...this is slick willies guy! he's being put in place so neither he or the ice queen will be investigated. and all their buddies (and they are legion)! they know that its easier to have a puppet than it is to bribe an unknown quantity...think the clintons arn't running the show? the stage is being set for one party rule!

The bloom is off the rose, the honeymoon is over, the rose colored glasses have fogged up. Obama is going to find what it is like to work Washington DC, which he doesn't know anything about since he was on the campaign trail for 2 plus years after he was elected to the senate seat. As predicted, Congress will set him straight on who is running the country! AND HE IS NOT EVEN OFFICIAL YET!!! What a hoot! This is better than watching any soap opera.

RE: No "Dog and Pony Show" Confirmation Hearing for Eric Holder. To assure the Senate Committee "vigorously question [Eric] Holder about his background and qualifications," the public must be advised of more than only letters in support of Eric Holder's confirmation. To date the Senate staff has yet to post on the Committee's site any of my letters in opposition or my request for Eric Holder to respond to the allegations in the RICO complaint of his misconduct by his obstructing my federal statutory rights as a father and attorney. At this critical time for our Republic the Senate and House, irrespective of being either a Democrat, Republican, or an Independent,must restore the Rule of Law, the integrity and public confidence in DOJ. As President-elect Obama stated the "Attorney General serves the American people," not any particular President or Administration. Thus, the Senate Committee on the Judiciary must vigorously question Eric Holder, as well as all other proposed appointees to DOJ, to assure that they will comply with the concept stated in the words inscribed on the Robert F. Kennedy Justice Department Building: "No Free Government Can Survive That Is Not Based on The Supremacy of Law. Where Law ends, Tyranny Begins, Law Alone Can Give Us Freedom." This is because the next Attorney General is the key to confirming future compliance with the Rule of Law and the oaths of office by all Federal employees, including Judges and Court staffs. Related to the above are my open letters to members of both the Senate and House opposing the confirmation of Eric Holder because his past criminal acts as a Beltway lobbyist/attorney, See http://www.liamsdad.org/others/isidoro.shtml. Consequently, irrespective of whether or not Eric Holder is confirmed he will be sued by me as the lead defendant in a civil action under Racketeer Influence and Currupt Organizations Act ("RICO"), 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961 et seq., http://capwiz.com/congressorg/sbx/f/?aid=12313551&r=1; and, http://capwiz.com/congressorg/sbx/f/?aid=12332481&r=1.
