3. Holder: I don’t like the law I haven’t read

By Mr. Curmudgeon:

A U.S. District Court ruling supports the House Republican’s claim that Attorney General Eric Holder is a contemptible withholder of evidence and the Obama administration’s cover-up artist extraordinaire.

Since the news of Operation Fast and Furious broke, Republican chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Darrell Issa, has buried the Justice Department in enough subpoenas to wallpaper every office in the joint.

To date, Holder has failed to provide House investigators the names of Justice Department personnel responsible for selling weapons to Mexican drug cartels and high-level Justice officials privy to the operation.

Now, the first controversy to embroil the nation’s top law enforcement official, the New Black Panther Party case, is back in the headlines. And we have the public-interest law firm Judicial Watch to thank.

As you may recall, on Election Day 2008 a video surfaced showing members of the New Black Panther Party stationed outside the entrance to a Philadelphia voting precinct. They were wearing barrettes and paramilitary garb and wielding batons, shouting, “white devil” and “you’re about to be ruled by the back man, cracker.”

In a court affidavit obtained by Fox News, a poll watcher swore to seeing “two uniformed men confront voters and attempt to intimidate voters. They were positioned in a location that forced every voter to pass in close proximity to them. The weapon was openly displayed and brandished in plain sight of voters.”

A criminal investigation into the matter that began in the waning days of the Bush Administration was later dropped by the Justice Department’s so-called Civil Rights Commission once Holder took the reins.

“Claims were dismissed against the … defendants based on a careful assessment of the facts and the law. The department [of Justice] is committed to the vigorous prosecution of those who intimidate, threaten or coerce anyone exercising his or her sacred right to vote,” read a Justice Department statement.

J. Christian Adams, a trial attorney for the voting section at Justice, resigned in disgust. In his letter of resignation, Adams pointed to the threats leveled by Panther leaders against the attorneys that filed suit against them. “Their grievances toward us generally echo the assertions that the facts and law did not support the lawsuit against them … Knowing intimately the criminal character and violent tendencies of the members of the New Black Panther Party, it is my profound hope that these assertions are tempered.”

That was then.

Monday, U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton ruled that “political appointees within DOJ were conferring about the status and resolution of the New Black Panther Party case in the days preceding the DOJ’s dismissal of claims in the case, which would appear to contradict Assistant Attorney General Perez’s testimony that political leadership was not involved in that decision.”

And here’s where the judge alludes to the culture of stone-walling in Holder’s department: “Surely the public has an interest in documents that cast doubt on the accuracy of government officials’ representations regarding the possible politicization of agency decision-making.”

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton’s reaction to the ruling was priceless: “The Court’s decision is another piece of evidence showing the Obama Justice Department is run by individuals who have a problem telling the truth. The decision shows that we can’t trust the Obama Justice Department to fairly administer our nation’s voting and election laws.”

That’s because, as Operation Fast and Furious clearly shows, Eric Holder’s Justice Department IS a criminal enterprise.

Fido, Casper the Friendly Ghost and Juan Valdez walk into a polling place.  No this isn’t the beginning of a joke it is a key part of the Chicago Plan to re-elect the worst President in American History.

The Voter Participation Center (VPC), a left wing organization whose work to register Democrat voters exemplifies the process used for generations in Chicago to ensure the Outfit/Machine maintains control of the government, the power, and the swag.  The VPC is mass mailing pre-printed voter registration forms to selected voter blocks known to be part of the Democrat coalition, African-Americans, Latinos, young adults, and single women. In their effort to extend the Chicago system to the rest of the country VPC mailed nearly 200,000 third-party voter registration forms to Virginia residents in June.  This has resulted in more than 15,000 new voters being registered.

However, there are a few problems with this exercise in Chicago-style democracy.  They are violating rules set forth in the state code and the Virginia Constitution requiring that voters fill out their own form.  The State Board of Elections, which the group says pre-approved their forms and their methods, has asked the group to stop filling in the forms prior to sending them to the people, and pointing to the errant forms they have also raised questions concerning how the group obtained lists of registered voters.  In addition, according to Justin Riemer, the Virginia State Board of Elections’ deputy secretary, forms have been sent by the group to “deceased infants, out-of-state family members, and non-U.S. citizens, among others.”  Given the fact that these forms can be mailed in and that the Federal Government will sue any State that has the chutzpah to require a photo ID to vote don’t be surprised if in this, the most crucial election of our lives Fido, Casper, or Juan cast their vote to continue the occupation of Washington by the Progressive Statists and their totalitarian plans.

The list of problems with Democrat voting procedures that have ensured their iron-fisted rule in the tottering hulks of our once great cities is as long as it is disturbing.  There are the great Democrat machines that have used every form of voter fraud and intimidation to dominate the urban political scene in America for generations in places such as Philadelphia, Detroit, and of course the Mecca of corruption President Obama’s adopted hometown and political base, Chicago.  In East St. Louis and Indianapolis there are actually more registered voters than eligible citizens.

As the Obama Justice Department circles the country like a bird of prey waiting to pounce on any jurisdiction that attempts to purge the dead the illegal immigrants or felons from the voting lists, it is apparent that voter fraud has been elevated from a crime to a national policy.  So far Attorney General Holder has sued Florida, Georgia, and Texas while investigating Pennsylvania.  Yet there is no time or resources spent on investigating sixteen counties in Texas with more voters on the rolls than in the census or sixteen jurisdictions in Illinois that also have more registered than eligible. There also was no interest in prosecuting the clear case of voter intimidation by the New Black Panther Party who patrolled voting locations armed with clubs while making racist statements to voters.  And the most reprehensible case of voter suppression of all is the campaign waged to limit the vote of our active duty military.

Any attempt to slow the growth of phantom voters is met vigorously by the Federal Government with strident accusations of racism saying that anyone who requires a photo ID to vote might as well burn a cross on the White House lawn.  This is patently absurd.  It takes a photo ID to do many things people do every day.  You need a photo ID to:

Get a Driver’s license
Buy alcohol
Buy cigarettes
Apply for welfare
Apply for food stamps
Cash a check
Purchase a firearm
Make any large credit card purchase
Open a bank account
Rent an apartment
Be admitted to a hospital
Get a marriage license

And yet according to Attorney General Holder any jurisdiction that requires a photo ID to vote is placing an undue burden on minorities akin to a poll tax collected by a man in a white hood.  But for security purposes you needed a photo ID to get into the NAACP meeting recently to hear Mr. Holder speak in a state he is currently suing over their requirement of a photo ID to vote. The irony never ends in a world that is fast becoming the theater of the absurd.

Add into the mix that most states offer free IDs and provisional ballots that are counted once ID is verified to anyone who shows up without an ID, and it’s easy to see the righteous battle against voter ID is really a reprehensible defense of voter fraud.

And just in case the actual living citizens of America show up to vote in great enough numbers to compete with Fido, Casper the Ghost, and Juan the Obama administration has retained the services of thousands of lawyers.  These devil’s advocates will challenge the vote in any district that goes against them or to defend themselves in any jurisdiction with the gall to challenge their manufactured majority.

Passing over the debates of who is Barack Obama, where did he come from, and what motivates him we must deal now with the Fete Accompli.  He has been legally sworn in and has run the country into the ground for almost four years.  We cannot afford four more years of the Progressive’s spend us into oblivion with the Cloward–Piven Strategy as national policy.  We cannot afford another four years of international support for the Muslim Brotherhood’s march to power in Middle East and serial apology tours.  We cannot afford another four years of trillion dollar yearly deficits.  We cannot afford another four years of Barack Obama if America is to have any chance to remain the land of the free and the home of the brave.

If we don’t end this soon the Progressives will end it later.

If we don’t reassert our devotion to constitutionally limited government, personal liberty, and economic freedom we will sink into a quagmire of endless entitlements for the idlers paid for by plundering the productive.  In four short months we will have an opportunity to choose.  The opponents of liberty are lined up to steal the election, but we can overwhelm them if we will all show up and vote.  Make sure every Patriot is registered, and do anything and everything you can to make sure everyone you know votes, because you can bet Fido, Casper the Friendly Ghost and Juan Valdez will. And that’s no joke.

Keep the faith.  Keep the peace.  We shall overcome.

The House voted to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress, and House Democrats staged a walk out during the vote.

By Sari Horwitz

Posted: July 2nd, 2012

Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. sharply criticized lawmakers Monday for voting to hold him in contempt of Congress last week, saying Republicans have made him a “proxy” to attack President Obama in an election year.

In his first interview since Thursday’s vote, Holder said lawmakers have used an investigation of a botched gun-tracking operation as a way to seek retribution against the Justice Department for its policies on a host of issues, including immigration, voting rights and gay marriage. He said the chairman of the committee leading the inquiry, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), is engaging in political theater as the Justice Department tries to focus on public safety.

WASHINGTON — Republicans in Congress will file a civil lawsuit over President Barack Obama’s invoking of executive privilege in connection with Operation Fast and Furious, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

The House of Representatives voted on Thursday to hold U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for refusing to hand over documents relating to a congressional inquiry into the failed gun-trafficking investigation. But the Justice Department has declined to prosecute Holder because the president invoked executive privilege to shield the documents.

“That’s why we’re also going to file in district court a civil suit over the issue of executive privilege,” Boehner said, adding that Republicans would file the suit sometime in the next few weeks.

Washington (CNN) — The U.S. House will proceed with a vote Thursday on holding Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for withholding documents involving the failed Fast and Furious weapons crackdown, Speaker John Boehner said Wednesday.

“We’re going to proceed,” Boehner, R-Ohio, told reporters. “We’ve given them ample opportunity to reply.”

His comment came the day after House Republicans rejected another offer by the White House and Justice Department to turn over some documents sought by congressional investigators.

Administration and justice officials met Tuesday with senior aides to Boehner and House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa to try to head off the House vote, which could bring the unprecedented contempt citation of a sitting attorney general.

A senior House Republican aide said the offer to let congressional investigators see some of the requested documents in return for dropping the contempt measure was insufficient.

According to a summary provided by a senior administration official and a Justice Department official familiar with the discussions, the Justice Department offered to give Congress access to some of the documents generated between February 4, 2011, when the Justice Department initially told Congress there was no inappropriate activity, and December 2, 2011, when it acknowledged the program was “fundamentally flawed.”

“We reached out and showed them a representative sample of the documents so they could see firsthand the types of communications in contention,” said the administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The contemptible Attorney General Eric Holder is losing friends among his fearless leader’s party. Utah’s Democratic Representative Jim Matheson announced his plan to join with Republicans who will vote Holder in contempt of Congress this Thursday for obstructing the investigation by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform into Operation Fast and Furious, in which ATF operatives (under the auspices of the Justice Department) sold weapons to Mexican drug cartels at the cost of hundreds of innocent lives.

“Sadly, it seems that it will take holding the attorney general in contempt to communicate that evasiveness is unacceptable,” Matheson told the Salt Lake Tribune.

And Matheson will bring fellow Democrats with him. According to the Associated Press, Rep. Steny Hoyer, the Democratic House Minority Whip, expects more donkey defections, though he refused to say how many.

The AP adds that the National Rifle Association will “score the vote.” The Obama media may find it ironic that the NRA is helping to unmask the culprits responsible for illegal assault weapon sales. They shouldn’t. The NRA represents the interests of normal, law-abiding gun owners. The contemptible Obama administration, on the other hand, represents the interests of armed, murderous Mexican drug cartels.

“The reason we support the contempt resolution,” said the NRA in a letter to Congress, “is the same reason we first called for Attorney General Holder’s resignation more than a year ago: the [Justice] Department’s obstruction of congressional oversight of a program that costs lives in support of an anti-gun agenda,” said the NRA.

Guns don’t kill people; anti-Second Amendment fanatics in Washington do … and by the hundreds.

“I’m not saying that this is because Holder is black, and I’m not calling [Republicans] racists. I’m saying what they’re doing has a racial effect, and that’s what we’re going to talk about.”

– MSNBC host and racial activist Al Sharpton in an interview with The Hill, previewing an event today in which black leaders will denounce the pending House resolution to find Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt for failing to turn over documents.

When House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi last week said that a Republican desire to keep minorities from voting was the reason lawmakers were dogging Attorney General Eric Holder over secret documents related to the murder of a Border Patrol agent with weapons lost in a botched gunrunning sting, it was a bit puzzling.

The former speaker of the House is sometimes guilty of excited utterance, and certainly accusing one’s colleagues in Congress of trumping up a contempt charge in order to allow states to disenfranchise minority votes was a charge so monstrous that Power Play expected to see it walked back in subsequent days.

But it has not been walked back, and today it will be run forward by a trio of prominent Democrats: Al Sharpton, Ben Jealous, the head of the NAACP, and Marc Morial, the head of the Urban League.

While Sharpton is trying to say that the House Republicans are not intentionally violating the civil rights of black voters by ensnaring Holder in the unrelated case, Pelosi was very straightforward.

Fear is always something that can make people act oddly. It causes them to be irrational and behave in strange ways that are almost self-destructive.

That’s the way the White House is acting with the Fast and Furious scandal, and in the same way that another troubled President – Richard Nixon—did. Both Presidents acted against their own self-interest in a public scandal in order to protect people close to them, and in the end, did more harm than good to America.

According to the way the Democrats tell it, Rep. Darell Issa is on a witch hunt and the investigation into the death of Brian Terry is strictly a politically motivated act designed to embarrass this administration and to get rid of Eric Holder. Yet, there is something that a lot of critics and pundits are forgetting.

Brian Terry is dead.

Let’s assume for moment that Issa IS on a witch hunt, and that the Republicans want someone to be held accountable for the death of the border agent, and the deaths of numerous Mexicans caught up in violence from the sudden increase in cheap weaponry in a drug war along the Mexican American border.

Brian Terry is dead.

There’s no denying that, and political or not, someone needs to be held accountable. Is America going to simply shrug its collective shoulders and say to the family, ‘Sorry about that, tough cookies, we screwed up.’? To this date, our government still has not apologized to the satisfaction of his family nor held anyone senior accountable.

That’s not good enough, not at all. America used to stand for something in this world, at least in my understanding of this nation’s history. We didn’t act like the communists or the Nazis; we didn’t allow a death to merely roll off as another statistic on the record books. If America has had one defining position it has been that it has stood up for the rights of a single individual over the rights of a collective society. It was Marx that said that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one, not Thomas Jefferson.

Brian Terry is dead.

In fact, it is the single most reason that America is different than every other nation in the world. Its interest in the value and rights of the individual over the rest of society has been unique in world history. Every other country since the dawn of man first beginning to write laws to govern society has put limits on individual’s rights, and has defined in its charter or by its actions that the whole of society is more important than the individual. It is irrelevant that it is a drunk on the street or a slain hero in the heat of the Arizona sun, each person is of value equally to our nation.

This is also characteristic of the mentality of the White House in almost every legislative action to date—that the whole of society is more important than a single individual. And it is in this why Brian Terry’s death is such an atrocity and an affront to the American mindset and to his surviving family. The very idea that one of the people sworn to protect us was murdered by the careless disregard of how an investigation by the Justice department was handled is hateful to most Americans.

America is and should be, better than this. We do not let the heroes that defend our nation’s borders die forsaken in the desert, shot by weapons that we supplied to an enemy, without those responsible being held accountable for the misdeeds that allowed it happen. It does not matter if it was intentional or it was an accident by blunder. Even if the Fast and Furious project was not politically motivated as the Democrats contend, it does not mitigate the severity of the crime.

Brian Terry is dead.

Not a single individual or group of individuals has been held responsible for his death. While a few low level personnel have been shuffled around at the Justice Department, the ultimate responsibility has to fall upon the neck of Eric Holder, the Attorney General. Even if he did not know or condone the failures of Fast and Furious, even if it was not a politically motivated project as some in the GOP contend, he is in charge of the Justice Department and as department head he is responsible for the actions of his people.

Are we going to simply move on and forget the main reason why there is Congressional committee meeting s for weeks on end?

Brian Terry is dead!

Something needs to be done about it. Regardless of politics, it would be indecent not to do so.

For the left, Operation Fast and Furious is George W. Bush’s fault, or it’s a witch-hunt over already answered questions. After all, Attorney General Eric Holder’s Justice Department gave more than seven thousand documents to the House committee investigating the matter.

Considering the sheer volume of paper involved, two questions remain unanswered: First, who ordered the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to sell assault weapons to Mexican drug cartels? Second, did the person or persons in question ever once consider the deadly consequences this action would have on the lives of innocent people caught in the crossfire?

For some, the question seems to boil down to race. Many accuse House Republicans of targeting Holder due to his skin color than credit a small cadre of GOP lawmakers for uncovering a high-level administration gunrunning operation – and its subsequent cover-up.

“I don’t want to start too much [of a] forest fire here, but it is my instinct: Is this [Holder contempt vote] ethnic?” asked MSNBC’s Chris Matthews.

Former Rep. Arthur Davis wrote at Politico that by invoking Executive Privilege, President Obama intended “to drive the narrative of Republican extremism,” adding, “Holder’s race, frankly, is a convenience that abets the other favored Democratic argument of covert Republican racism.”

I submit that contemptible racism is a singular component of Operation Fast and Furious – not because of the justifiable attacks on Attorney General Eric Holder and the Stone-Walling Oval Office occupant – but that our media and political establishment ignores the deadly operation’s voluminous victims … innocent Mexican citizens.

Mario Gonzalez Rodriguez was kidnapped by the Sinaloa drug cartel in October 2010. After subjecting him to torture, his thuggish narco kidnappers switched on a video camera to record Rodriguez denouncing his sister, who was then the attorney general for the Mexican state of Chihuahua. The body of Rodriguez was later recovered with two Kalashnikov rifles, which were traced back to Fast and Furious.

“The basic ineptitude of these [ATF] officials caused the death of my brother and surely thousands more victims,” said Patricia Gonzalez Rodriquez to an ATF official attached to the U.S. embassy in Mexico City.

Although no official numbers have been released, and with the media decidedly uninterested in finding out, it is estimated that at least 300 Mexican citizens died as a result of the ATF’s gun sales.

In a profile on Eric Holder, The New York Times noted that a “more extreme segment” of conservatives are “motivated by animus against Mr. Obama and that he [Holder] served as a stand-in for him,” said the Times.

“This is a way to get at the president because of the way I can be identified with him … both due to the nature of our relationship and, you know, the fact that we’re both African-American,” Holder told the Times.

The Afro-centric nature of Holder and Obama’s mindset renders them oblivious to the suffering of others outside their racial orbit – even other racial minorities.

“Have there been mistakes made under AG Holder’s watch?” asked MSNBC host the Rev. Al Sharpton, “Yes. But was he responsible for creating the Fast & Furious program, or has he been non-cooperative? No. Is he being unfairly targeted and dragged through the mud as a method of delay from other pressing issues? Undoubtedly for sure.”

No issue is more pressing than knowing if the Attorney General of the United States – charged with upholding the nation’s laws – sanctioned an operation that added to the deadly arsenals of ruthless Mexican drug cartels and hastened the deaths of hundreds if not thousands of innocent people.

The truth, we are told, should take a back seat to Chicago-style race politics. “Pay no attention to the dead of Mexico,” the Obama administration and the mainstream media seem to be saying, “They aren’t the right shade of brown.”

Operation Fast and Furious, a U.S. Justice Department gunrunning operation that sold weapons to Mexican drug cartels at the cost of hundreds of innocent lives, is only now starting to get the attention of the Obama media.

For that, we can thank Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) for his skillful and methodical gathering of evidence – evidence so compelling it forced a usually non-confrontational GOP House Speaker to allow Issa to advance a contempt-of-Congress action against a stonewalling Attorney General, one Eric Holder.

Describing Fast and Furious as “a botched gunrunning sting operation,” the New York Times condemned Republicans for shamelessly turning “what should be a routine matter into a pointless constitutional confrontation.”

Nowhere in its lead editorial did the Times explain why they believe the Obama administration’s deadly weapons deal with foreign drug lords is a “routine matter,” nor did they bother to list other similarly routine Obama administration transactions.

If the deaths of hundreds of innocents were not enough to stir the souls of the compassion-filled, Obama-boosters of the Times’ editorial board, the president’s first official response to Fast and Furious certainly did.

“On Wednesday, for the first time since he was elected, President Obama invoked executive privilege on the disputed documents. Doing so now bars prosecution of Mr. Holder in federal court should the full House vote to hold him in contempt of Congress,” said the Times.

The documents in question pertain to a letter dated February 4, 2011, sent to Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of the Senate Judiciary Committee by Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich.

In the letter, Weich dismissed the gunrunning allegations as “false,” saying the “ATF makes every effort to interdict weapons that have been purchased illegally and prevent their transportation to Mexico. Indeed, an important goal of Project Gunrunner is to stop the flow of weapons from the United States to drug cartels in Mexico.”

Weich concluded his letter by asking Grassley not to take his constitutional oversight duties so seriously and asked that the “Committee staff not contact law enforcement personnel seeking information about pending criminal investigations, including the investigation into the death of Customs and Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.”

In other words, the documents Issa subpoenaed, and Holder refuses to surrender, concern internal communications between high-ranking Justice Department officials (if not the president) proving that Weich’s letter to Grassley was an intentional lie – one meant to cover up the administration’s complicity in the mass murder of Mexican civilians and a U.S. boarder agent.

In the case of Fast and Furious, people died … and the administration lied.

However, with the Senate in the control of Harry Reid Democrats, Holder’s Justice Department had no worries. That was not the case in the Republican/Tea Party-controlled House. Chairman Issa had ATF whistleblowers testify before his House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, blowing the lid off the Justice Department’s deadly “sting operation.”

The sting, it turns out, was not against Mexican drug cartels but against law-abiding U.S. gun owners. “… There are just a few gun-related changes that we would like to make, and among them would be to reinstate the ban on the sale of assault weapons,” said Holder in a 2009 news conference. “I think that will have a positive impact in Mexico, at a minimum … making the assault weapons ban permanent …”

Fast and Furious was intended to help in that regard.

“More than 90 percent of the guns recovered in Mexico come from the United States,” said Obama in a 2009 speech delivered while on a state visit to Mexico, “many from gun shops that lay in our shared border. So we have responsibilities as well.”

It’s clear the Obama administration used Operation Fast and Furious to manufacture data to support the president’s baseless statistics and his plan to scale-back Second Amendment rights.

Sen. Grassley, whose legitimate oversight questions elicited a string of Justice Department denials and outright lies, asked a rhetorical question during a News Max interview: “Is it because the president does have something to do with it?”

The Washington Post’s Dana Milbank thinks that slapping Holder with a contempt citation is rather funny. “Even if the full House follows the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform’s vote Wednesday to hold him in contempt, the decision about whether to prosecute him will be left to the Justice Department run by … Eric Holder.”

Milbank’s cynicism is well founded. It’s unlikely that the death and carnage resulting from Holder’s Fast and Furious will lead to criminal prosecutions … beyond a few lower echelon ATF agents.

In the end, Fast and Furious will be tried in the court of public opinion. On November 6, American voters – not the Congress or the courts – will speak for the hundreds who lost life, liberty and any hope for future happiness. And the verdict will say more about the jury than it does about the perpetrators.

New Black Panther voter intimidation in Philly

Pelosi: GOP attacking Holder to suppress voters

The top House Democrat says a committee vote holding the attorney general in contempt of Congress is part of Republican efforts to suppress votes in the upcoming elections.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi told reporters Thursday that the vote on Attorney General Eric Holder was an abuse of power by Republicans. She says it is no coincidence that Holder is the official in charge of preventing voter suppression and enforcing civil rights laws.

So tell me Nancy where was Eric Holder the great preventer of voter suppression at when the New Black Panthers holding night sticks in Philly?

Where was Holder on ACORN?

Where was Holder on any case of voter fraud, which is always Democrat?

As Rush said Pelosi is the mayor of the planet Stupider … and I’ll add it’s right past Obama’s planet of Moranus.

Restoring America Project Super PAC is standing with Samuel Wurzelbacher, “Joe the Plumber”.

One of Joe’s recent campaign ads has come under fire. In it, he’s shown taking target practice, while talking to voters about certain historical events. One of those events is Nazi Germany’s seizure of its citizens’ firearms.

Ken Crow (Co-Founder, Restoring America Project) commented on the controversy surrounding the ad. ” I don’t understand why anyone would be upset about it. What Joe stated about Germany and other countries is correct. Every time a government has taken away its citizens’ right to defend themselves, things have turned out badly.

“Personally, I don’t like the idea of citizens being unarmed while criminals walk around with guns. For example, look at Australia. In 1997, it spent around $500,000,000.00 of taxpayer money destroying most of the population’s firearms. And what was the result? In the first year alone armed robberies skyrocketed 45%, while homicides rose 3.2% and assaults went up nearly 9%. The most appalling statistic, though, is a 300% rise in gun homicides. In our own country, since Texas passed Conceal and Carry laws, crime rates there have steadily dropped.”

Crow continued, ” Of course, no one can really knows if more guns in the hands of citizens could have prevented the Holocaust. But logic dictates that if they had been armed, things might have been different. And I want to be clear about one thing: Joe wasn’t trying to in any way diminish the tragic events of the Holocaust with his ad. His opponent, and her allies on the left, know this. ”

Crow quipped, ” I suppose if Big Brother wants our firearms, we could just call up Attorney General Eric Holder. Bet he knows some folks who can run a few over for us .”

Eric Holder

Obama prevented subpoenaed documents concerning the ‘Fast and Furious’ operation from being released

Source: USNews.com

Posted: June 20th, 2012

On Wednesday President Barack Obama invoked executive privilege preventing the release of documents related to the federal “Fast and Furious” undercover operation. Following this announcement, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress over the documents, which Holder has declined to release.

The committee seeks more information on the 2009-2010 operation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in Arizona during which agents allowed suspected smugglers to buy about 2,000 firearms. The bureau allowed the transactions in attempt to build a case against smugglers of arms to Mexico, but since the operation took place, the guns have been traced to crime scenes on both sides of the border. Most notably, a gun purchased in one of the exchanges under surveillance was used in a shootout in 2010 which ended in the death of a U.S. border patrol agent.

Holder has declined to release the subpoenaed documents for the congressional inquiry, prompting the contempt charge from the committee. On Tuesday, Holder wrote Obama requesting he exercise his executive privilege to prevent the documents from being released.

A round-up of news about today’s committee hearing on the Holder contempt of Congress vote…

The Hill:

A House panel voted Wednesday to place Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for his failure to comply with a subpoena, defying an assertion of executive privilege from President Obama.

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, led by Republican Chairman Darrell Issa (Calif.), approved a resolution along party lines to place Holder in contempt after battling him for months over access to internal agency documents about the gun-tracking operation known as “Fast and Furious.”

The vote came after Obama escalated the conflict by sending a letter to the committee claiming executive privilege over the documents the panel had sought.

All 23 Republicans on the committee voted for the contempt resolution, while all 17 Democrats voted against it. Every member of the panel was present for the vote.

Minutes after the panel’s decision, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) announced that the full House will vote on the contempt measure next week.

“While we had hoped it would not come to this, unless the attorney general reevaluates his choice and supplies the promised documents, the House will vote to hold him in contempt next week,” the Republican leaders said in a statement. “If, however, Attorney General Holder produces these documents prior to the scheduled vote, we will give the Oversight Committee an opportunity to review in hopes of resolving this issue.”

The New York Times:

Representative Carolyn Maloney, Democrat of New York, said the investigation had degenerated into a “political witch hunt,” while a fellow Democrat, Representative Gerald E. Connolly of Virginia, called the proceeding a “kangaroo court,” saying it was designed to result in a contempt citation from the start as a way to get at Mr. Obama. They and other Democrats complained that the panel was ignoring its mission of coming up with reforms, like finding ways to strengthen laws to combat gun trafficking along the Southwestern border.

The Daily Caller:
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi attacked House Republicans for pursuing contempt of Congress charges against Attorney General Eric Holder on Wednesday.

“I could have arrested Karl Rove on any given day,” Pelosi said on Wednesday, The Huffington Post reports. “I’m not kidding. There’s a prison here in the Capitol. If we had spotted him in the Capitol, we could have arrested him.”

“Oh, any number” of charges could have been brought against Rove, Pelosi said. “But there were some specific ones for his being in contempt of Congress.”

Pelosi also criticized Republicans pushing for justice for Border Patrol agent Brian Terry — as House oversight committee ranking Democratic member Rep. Elijah Cummings has on numerous occasions — as “just strictly political.”

“It’s just the irresponsibility of the Republicans,” Pelosi said. “We want jobs. Why are they spending this time doing this?”

Pelosi attacked House oversight committee Chairman Darrell Issa too. “‘Loose cannon’ would sort of be like such a compliment to Darrell Issa,” Pelosi said. “‘Loose cannon’ would be a moderate phrase. This is an explosive device. It doesn’t serve our country, and it undermines the true purpose of contempt of Congress.”

“That’s why I didn’t arrest Karl Rove when I had the chance,” Pelosi added.

House Speaker John Boehner’s spokesman Michael Steel told The Daily Caller that President Obama’s claim of executive privilege implies a startling new allegation pertaining to Fast and Furious: The White House was either involved with the operation or a cover-up.

“Until now, everyone believed that the decisions regarding ‘Fast and Furious’ were confined to the Department of Justice,” Steel said in an email. “The White House decision to invoke executive privilege implies that White House officials were either involved in the ‘Fast and Furious’ operation or the cover-up that followed. The Administration has always insisted that wasn’t the case. Were they lying, or are they now bending the law to hide the truth?”

Utah Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz said “it’s sad” and “it’s disappointing” that this scandal has “come to this.”

“This isn’t about Holder, this is about the Department of Justice and justice in the United States of America,” Chaffetz said. “I hope we have the guts and the perseverance to get to the bottom of this. We have 2,000 weapons purposely given to drug cartels. We have a moral obligation to get to the bottom of this.”

And so we now know exactly what Eric Holder meant when he stated that he was ready to make “An extraordinary accommodation” to avoid a contempt of Congress vote in the house.

In an “extraordinary” meeting, at 5pm EST yesterday, Holder arrived empty handed.

Congressman Issa, Chairman of the House Oversight Committee had instructed Holder to produce some 1,300 documents, emails and memos pertaining to subpoenaed documents related to the cover up of the Fast and Furious scandal.

The number of Documents had been severely diluted from the subpoenaed 80,000 such documents by Speaker John Boehner who, reportedly, would like the entire investigation dropped because in his mind, it will be harmful to the republican party in an election year.

Yesterday’s meeting lasted an “extraordinary” 20 minutes and Holder told Chairman Issa that he was willing to…”brief” the committee…regarding the 1,300 documents in question but ONLY if Chairman Issa would first agree to drop any vote regarding contempt of Congress.

In other words…

What Holder is ready to do is, hand over ONLY hand selected documents with no number predetermined and then TELL the committee what is contained within OTHER documents but not SHOW them those documents and BEFORE he does ANY of that, Issa would be REQUIRED to agree that the subpoenas would then be completely satisfied!!!

THAT…According to Eric Holder…is “An extraordinary accommodation.”

This is the same fellow who, just last week, when Congressman Chaffetz READ a couple of emails, word for word TO him, both of which referenced Fast and Furious BY NAME…Insisted that NEITHER of those emails had anything to do with Fast and Furious.

In the corruption addled mind of Eric Holder, the Committee should simply take his word for what is in those documents, emails and memos.

“Extraordinary.”

After the meeting, Issa commented that he still hopes Holder WOULD deliver the documents and that he and his staff would be ready to accept them throughout the night. The fact that he didn’t toss Holder out of the room and slam the door behind him is, in fact, “extraordinary.”

With the vote regarding Holder’s contempt of Congress STILL on the schedule for TODAY, it seems that only further interruption of the process by Speaker Boehner could possibly delay it.

In that regard, Boehner should be made aware that, by conservatives, he is viewed as a RINO skating on a VERY deep pond covered with a VERY thin layer of ice.

As absurd as it is that the head of the Department of Justice has been obstructing justice in this case for more than a year, the absurdity is compounded by a Speaker of the house seemingly willing to assist in the obstruction.

Boehner needs to remove the handcuffs from Issa and the Oversight Committee and slap them on Eric Holder.

Along with more than 200 dead civilians across both sides of the border due to Fast and Furious, we have a murdered U.S. Border Agent, Brian Terry, and Boehner wants to drop the whole thing or just limit the scope to the cover up without holding anyone responsible?

Absurd is a gross understatement.

There should be absolutely NO further delay. The vote regarding Holder’s contempt of Congress needs to be held as soon as possible TODAY. It has been reported that there are more than enough votes to move that vote through the Committee and it has also been reported that there ARE enough votes to seal the deal in the full House.

Once Holder has been found in contempt, he should be removed from his post immediately either by his own resignation, being fired by Obama or at the hands of Impeachment. At that point, his Deputy, Lanny Breuer, also a key figure in the Fast and Furious scandal, should be ordered to immediately turn over ALL the 80,000 documents originally subpoenaed or face immediate contempt charges himself.

This approach should be repeated until either the Department of Justice is manned only by a custodian with a broom or until the documents, emails and memos are lock, stock and smoking gun barrel in the hands if the House Oversight Committee.

As for John Boehner…HE should be busted from House Speaker back down to Town Crier and replaced by someone with the intestinal fortitude and brass nuts to do what must be done to restore integrity to the House and any agency under its oversight.

Chairman Issa is leaving the door open for Holder to walk in and produce some 1’300 documents all the way up to the committee vote on his contempt of Congress this morning at 10am EST but judging from Holder’s chat with the press last night after the meeting, it’s doubtful that will happen.

Holder looked like a man either ordered not to comply or simply completely astonished that Issa would not agree to the “deal” outlined above. In what may have been the most arrogant moment of the evening, Holder actually said that the ball was in Issa’s court and that Issa and the committee still had the ability to change their minds indicating that if the contempt vote went forward, Issa would have no one to blame but himself.

There are 2 things Holder needs to know.

1)      If the vote takes place at 10am EST today, it includes all 80,000 documents, emails and memos originally subpoenaed not just the 1,300 demanded last night.

2)      The ball is most definitely in HIS court.

(CBS News) CBS News has learned the House Oversight Committee will vote next week on whether to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress. It’s the fourth time in 30 years that Congress has launched a contempt action against an executive branch member.

This time, the dispute stems from Holder failing to turn over documents subpoenaed on October 12, 2011 in the Fast and Furious “gunwalking” investigation.

The Justice Department has maintained it has cooperated fully with the congressional investigation, turning over tens of thousands of documents and having Holder testify to Congress on the topic at least eight times.

However, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., says the Justice Department has refused to turn over tens of thousands of pages of documents. Those include materials created after Feb. 4, 2011, when the Justice Department wrote a letter to Congress saying no gunwalking had occurred. The Justice Department later retracted the denial.

“The Obama Administration has not asserted Executive Privilege or any other valid privilege over these materials and it is unacceptable that the Department of Justice refuses to produce them. These documents pertain to Operation Fast and Furious, the claims of whistleblowers, and why it took the Department nearly a year to retract false denials of reckless tactics,” Issa wrote in an announcement of the vote to be released shortly. It will reveal the vote is scheduled for Wednesday, June 20.

Issa says the Justice Department can still put a stop to the contempt process at any time by turning over the subpoenaed documents.

If the House Oversight Committee approves the contempt citation, the matter would likely be scheduled for a full House vote.

If you don’t need an ID to vote why do you need one to buy a booze or cigarettes? It’s seems a poor choice voting effect far more people than a poor choice buying booze or smokes. Just saying… But Eric “Racist”Holder say that a voter ID disenfranchised minority votes? Why? Is Holder saying that minorities are too stupid to go get a picture ID? Is Holder putting forth the idea that even if they drive a car they either 1.) Are driving without a license or 2.) To stupid to have it with them when they drive to the voting location? And why is it 25% of Blacks do not have an ID? How many are under 18? How many are felons that can’t vote? The reason I’ve always heard is that Blacks don’t like being called for jury duty and with an ID you stand a good chance of that happening. Anyway – the idiot…  Holder: Minority rights under threat from voter ID laws

Holder also pointed up the example of redistricting in Texas for elections to the state legislature and US Congress. He said that electoral maps “were manipulated to give the appearance of minority while minimising minority electoral strength”. “In December, we objected to South Carolina’s voter ID law after finding, based on the state’s own data, that the proposed change would place an unfair burden on non-white voters. In March we objected to a photo ID requirement in Texas because it would have a disproportionate impact on Hispanic voters,” he said.

I’ve covered this before but it bears repeating… Obama and Holder claim that requiring an ID to vote disenfranchises minority voters, so based on that logic it disenfranchises minorities that want to buy cigarettes, booze, cash a check or any of the plethora of things you need to provide an ID for?

So why should stores that sell or offer these products face fines if they provide them to people without an ID? Would they not be disenfranchising them if they require one? I’d love to see some merchant file a lawsuit if they are ever busted selling smokes or booze to some under age person – put it to the courts. Plead that they don’t want to disenfranchise a customer, especially if that customer is a minority. But yet Democrats require an ID to attend their convention in Massachusetts. MA DEMOCRATS: NO ENTRY TO CONVENTION WITHOUT PHOTO ID

In recent years, Democrats have argued that requiring voters to show photo IDs prior to voting is an egregious act of voter suppression. Ben Jealous, of the NAACP, has gone so far as to argue that such requirements are tantamount to modern-day Jim Crow laws. In the world they inhabit, lots of voters don’t have access to photo IDs, so requiring voters to provide this will “disenfranchise” them and leave them out of the democratic process. Funny they don’t feel that way for their own party conventions. On Saturday, Massachusetts delegates will meet in their state’s Democrat party convention. The votes of these delegates will determine whether there are primary elections for their party nominations. With so much at state, Democrats have decided to implement Voter ID requirements:

I guess that’s makes the Democrat racist as that are trying to disenfranchise voters of all walks of life in their party by requiring a photo ID… or are they just hypocrites? Yep that’s what it is – they pick and choose their outrage and never follow their own rhetoric. Typical libtards.

But wait there’s more… MooCow requires an Id to come to her book signing as if the word needs another garden book especially from one that does do her actual gardening.

First Lady Requires Photo ID for Her Book Signings; Voter ID Law-hating Media Fail to Note Obama Hypocrisy

On Friday, June 8th, those wishing to attend the event must purchase a copy of the First Lady’s book at the location and leave it at the store, according to the employee. At the same time, customers must also submit their social security number and show an official photo ID (driver’s license, passport) to a Secret Service agent, and they will be issued a wristband to the First Lady’s event on June 12.( Emphasis added)

Hypocritical troll.

As they walked down the steps of Independence Hall after the Constitutional Convention of 1787, a lady asked a venerable, old politician, “Doctor, what form of government have you given us?”

He replied,”I have given you a Republic, Madam, if you can keep it.”

That politician, as you probably know, was none other than Benjamin Franklin.

The greatest threat to our republic is a corrupted electoral process. This isn’t a matter for debate. Not when the signs of it are everywhere: The New Black Panthers intimidating and harassing voters, thousands of folks (some of them disceased) voting two, three (or more) times. We have a serious problem. According to many Attorneys General across America, organizations like ACORN assisted illegal voters to participate in the 2008 elections. And it’s well known that Barack Obama stole the state of Ohio in that election, too.

Florida’s Attorney General and Secretary of State recently began purging their voter rolls– they simply wanted to clear the deceased voters from the records and certify that those remaining were legally able to vote. For their pains they received a cease and desist order from our corrupt U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder. Yes, he’s decided that he wants dead people to vote in Florida. Holder also claimed that trying to take illegal people off the voter rolls is racist.

We all know what happened in Philadelphia during the last election. The New Black Panthers stood on the steps of polling stations, thumping their bats in their hands and intimidating white voters. Although charges were brought against these men and they pled guilty, the then-new Attorney General ordered all charges dropped. The result? These thugs got away with felony voter intimidation.

That’s what we’ve seen happening all across America in recent years: countless instances of voting infractions occurring. We can’t allow this to stand! As a nation, we must insist on an honest and fair electoral Only American citizens should be allowed to vote.

The simplest solution to this dilemma is implementing a standard Voter ID law in all 50 states. Currently, seven states require voters to produce an ID when voting. It only makes sense: we’re required to show an ID when writing a check, using a credit card, purchasing alcohol or boarding an airplane. So why, if Holder’s intentions are honest, should requiring a citizen to show a photo ID when performing the most sacred duty we have as American citizens be questioned?

Restoring America Project Super PAC has committed to getting a voter ID law implemented in every state. Will it be easy? NO! This battle will be a hard-fought and a very expensive one. Basically, we know that it will take a couple hundred thousand miles on the road, thousands of meetings with State Senators and House Members. It will take hundreds of meetings with Secretaries of State and Lieutenant Governors.

Here’s the good news, though– seven states down leaves only forty-three more to go! Iowa, for example, is very close to joining those seven states. Its State House recently approved voter ID legislation; the Senate voted it down– by only one vote. But Restoring America Project believes that we can win the two Senate seat needed to gain a majority, this November, with a bit of work and money. Once this happens, we’ve been told that in the next session, the bill will pass and Iowa’s governor will sign it into law. Chalk up another state for the ID program!

Restoring America Project is devoting the next four years to battling on your behalf, America. Like you, we want to prevent illegal voters from casting ballots in our elections! We don’t want a system corrupted by the ballots of deceased voters, or legitimate voters being intimidated by thugs at the polling place door. We want every voter to go to the polls in the confidence that their ballot will count. We as voters have a sacred right to feel that confidence, since millions of Americans died to allow us to do so!

Over the next year, we will be traveling extensively to meeting with lawmakers. When necessay, on your behlaf we’ll strong arm those who don’t see our point of view. And we will support the opponents of any lawmaker who doesn’t believe that we need Voter ID laws. Yes, we’ll get tough on anyone who refuses to defend our Republic with laws that protect our elections.

Please visit our website (www.restoringamericaproject.org), especially the Issues section. Remember, this project will be ongoing. It could take several years (and millions of dollars) to complete. We do need your financial support, your prayers and your warm wishes. Also, if you feel as though you’re called to pitch in, we need volunteers to do research. Please send us an email, which can be easily done at the above website.

Together, Patriots, we will defend our Republic. Our events will win more voters to our side of the aisle. And we will succeed in cleaning up this corrupted electoral system that allows too many folks to vote that should not be voting.

House oversight committee chairman Darrell Issa said Tuesday that congressional investigators now have documents that prove senior officials in Attorney General Eric Holder’s Department of Justice approved gun-walking in Operation Fast and Furious.

“The Committee has obtained copies of six wiretap applications in support of seven wire intercepts utilized during Fast and Furious,” Issa said in a Tuesday letter to Holder.

Issa said those wiretap documents “show that immense detail about questionable investigative tactics was available to the senior officials who reviewed and authorized them.”

Issa said these documents prove that the Department of Justice again provided “false” information to Congress.

“On February 8, 2012, Senator Grassley, Congressman Meehan and I wrote to you requesting the Department’s assistance in obtaining the wiretap applications from Operation Fast and Furious,” Issa wrote to Holder. “We did so because we believed their contents would shed additional light on senior Department officials’ level of knowledge of the unacceptable tactics used in Fast and Furious.”

“Other than having acknowledged receipt of the letter, the Department has not responded to the February 8 request,” Issa continued. “In a May 15, 2012 letter, the Deputy Attorney General reiterated the Department’s position that the ‘inappropriate tactics used in Fast and Furious … were not initiated of authorized by Department leadership in Washington.’”

“We now know that statement is false,” Issa said. (RELATED: Full coverage of Operation Fast and Furious)

Issa said the wiretap applications his committee has obtained “were approved by senior Justice Department officials in March, April, May, June and July 2010.”

“Each application included a memorandum from Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer to Paul M. O’Brien, Director, Office of Enforcement Operations, authorizing the wiretap applications on behalf of the Attorney General,” Issa wrote to Holder. “The memoranda from Breuer are marked specifically for the attention of Emory Hurley, the lead prosecutor for Operation Fast and Furious.”

Liberty Counsel Action   LCAction.cc

Attorney General Eric Holder has ordered women’s restrooms be opened to males. According to a Holder DOJ letter to an Arkansas university, if a male simply “gender identifies” with being a female, then women’s facilities must be open to that individual. This latest announcement follows the recent action by Holder forcing clothing stores to allow males to use female fitting rooms and changing rooms.

This outrageous action from Eric Holder’s DOJ creates a very dangerous precedent for our nation – especially for women and children who use restrooms marked for females.

Sadly, there are people who will pervert, exploit, and manipulate the DOJ’s directive to facilitate their disordered sexual appetites.  This directive is the proverbial “camel’s nose in the tent” when it comes to women losing any reasonable expectation of having privacy in public facilities. 

As you know, Liberty Counsel Action has been intensely calling for congressional action against Eric Holder. The time for Congress to take action against Holder’s misguided and agenda-driven policies is NOW! 

A letter from the Department of Justice (DOJ) caused the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith (UAFS) to reverse its policy and allow a 38-year old anatomically-male “transgender” student permanent use of women’s restrooms on campus despite strong opposition from female students.

Eric Holder’s Department of Justice has created a whole new front in the real “War on Women” by implementing an explosive directive that could endanger women all across our nation. 

In fact, this is an unconscionable extension of the Obama administration’s pro-homosexual agenda, recently expressed in the President’s announcement of support for same-sex “marriage.”

 ++Here’s how one radical activist managed to get Holder’s powerful backing…

Jennifer Braly is a male. But Braly desires to become a woman – and is raising money for “Sex Reassignment Surgery.”  Braly was using the UAFS women’s restrooms, despite being a male – and in spite of the complaints of female students who opposed seeing Braley in the women’s restrooms. 

The university offered Braly unisex facilities, but apparently that wasn’t good enough. Braly contacted the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division and at that point, Eric Holder’s Department of Justice stepped in. 

“In the eyes of the law, this individual [Jennifer Braly] is entitled to use the bathroom that she identifies with,” university Vice President Mark Horn said.

The DOJ threatened the University with a lawsuit if it did not comply with its assessment after Braly filed his/her complaint.

++This DOJ rule on “gender identity” will have a chilling, widespread impact.

Holder’s DOJ forced the university to implement a campus-wide policy because of one “transgender” student’s inconvenience.  That could start a domino effect that will be unstoppable as public institutions rethink their “gender identity” policies. 

If choosing which restroom to use is based on how an individual “identifies” their gender, what’s to stop ANY man from using ANY women’s restroom ANYWHERE in our nation?

What’s to stop males from “deeming” themselves to be female to live in female dormitories – or to attend women’s schools – or girls’ camps – or any other number of other outrageous scenarios?

The Department of Justice’s ruling is a travesty of justice catering to radical special interest groups and the Obama administration’s pro-homosexual agenda. It is ill-advised and simply wrong for America.

++Holder MUST GO!

******************************************************************

This may be an alternative to stop this nonsense.  Women go into a male restroom, they don’t have doors on urinals  and just stand there and watch.  If a male says something then say then stay out of our restrooms, what is fair is fair.  Warning, do not attempt this by yourself, bring ALL of your female friends with you to make a point.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio says the decision by Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett to place Barack Obama’s name on the state’s presidential ballot won’t put an end to the investigation by his Cold Case posse team, which now has its lead detective on the ground in Honolulu.

“No, I’m not going to call it quits Arpaio told WND.

I’m not calling my Cold Case Posse investigators home from Hawaii, and I don’t plan to end my investigation prematurely.”

After more than eight weeks of pressing Hawaii’s Department of Health, Bennett said last night that he finally received information that proves Obama’s American birth and satisfies Arizona’s requirements for having the president on the ballot, reported azcentral.com

Sign the petition now to show members of Congress how many Americans demand constitutional integrity.

The reported verification from Hawaii came only after Bennett, a Republican who has aspirations to run for governor, closely tailored his request to conform to the demands of Hawaii’s attorney general.

Arpaio said that as the highest elected law enforcement officer in Maricopa County, “I am determined to remain above politics in the effort of my Cold Case Posse to discover the truth.”

As WND reported, Arpaio launched his investigation last September after 250 Maricopa County residents belonging to the Surprise, Ariz., Tea Party presented him with a petition claiming their voting rights would be compromised if Obama used a forged birth certificate to win a place on the 2012 Arizona presidential ballot.

“As with any investigation undertaken by my office, it is my responsibility to the residents of Maricopa County to investigate until I discover the truth, regardless how intensely political pressure is applied to me by the White House and now by the Arizona secretary of state,” Arpaio told WND late last night.

WND has also reported U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has decided to take the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office to federal District Court in pursuit of the Justice Department claims that Arpaio has implemented policies that systematically deprive Hispanics of federal civil rights.

Arpaio spelled out to WND last month his response to the federal lawsuit: “Clean your own house, Eric Holder, before you come trying to clean mine.”

Does anyone really know where Obama is from? Find out the startling truth from New York Times best-selling author Jerome Corsi.

Bennett’s announcement yesterday that a back-and-forth exchange of emails with Hawaii state officials had concluded came as Maricopa County Cold Case Posse investigators were in Hawaii probing the authenticity of the document released by the White House April 27, 2011, as Obama’s long-form birth certificate.

Dismissing the likelihood Bennett’s move will end the birth certificate controversy, Mike Zullo, the lead investigator for Arpaio’s Cold Case Posse, told WND his team will remain in Hawaii until their investigations are completed.

Zullo said the possibility remained that Arpaio’s law enforcement investigation will conclude Obama’s birth certificate and Selective Service registration form are fraudulent – a result that would pit the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office against the Arizona state government. The posse announced March 1 probable cause exists that the documents were forged.

“In my meetings with Mr. Bennett on behalf of Sheriff Arpaio, he was uninterested in reviewing the evidence the Cold Case Posse has accumulated,” Zullo said, characterizing Bennett’s late-night announcement as a “desperate rush to judgment” after weeks of negotiation to get Hawaii to provide the assurances he required.

“Evidently Hawaii has had a change of heart,” Zullo said. “I’m now happy to return once again to the Hawaii Department in Health to repeat our request that Hawaii release whatever birth records may yet remain concealed in the Hawaii Department of Health vaults to public examination by a court-certified group of forensic examiners.”

Bennett made his announcement after the close of business in Phoenix yesterday, apparently before he had an opportunity to read the emails sent to his office by Joshua Wisch, special assistant to Hawaii Attorney General David Louie.

Surprise Tea Party members responded angrily to Bennett’s announcement, charging he had caved to political pressure applied by prominent Republican Party members, including Arizona’s Republican Sen. John McCain.

As WND reported, Bennett had responded in writing to inquiries from Arizona Tea Party officials with the promise that he would remove Obama from the Arizona presidential ballot unless Hawaii provided verification that Obama’s birth certificate is valid.

Many times during the weeks-long controversy, Bennett expressed surprise that the certification he required from the state of Hawaii was not immediately forthcoming.

As the confrontation between the Arizona secretary of state and the Hawaii attorney general’s office unfolded, the Obama birth controversy took an unexpected turn when Breitbart News disclosed Obama’s literary agency published in 1991 on Obama’s behalf a biography claiming the future president was born in Kenya.

WND has reported that the agency, Dystel & Goderich, continued publishing until 2007 biographical summaries declaring Obama was Kenyan-born, many years after the publishing in 1995 of his autobiography, “Dreams from My Father.”

Bretbart News reported today that Dystel & Goderich requires authors represented by the agency to provide the biographical information upon which the agency’s publications are based.

House oversight committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa and House Speaker John Boehner claim reports they are moving to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress soon — and reports claiming they are working together to do so — are inaccurate.

CBS News and the Los Angeles Times reported Friday morning that Boehner had green-lighted Issa’s plans to hold Holder in contempt of Congress over Operation Fast and Furious. Holder’s Department of Justice has provided only about 7,000 of the more than 70,000 pages of documents Issa has subpoenaed related to Operation Fast and Furious.

Issa and many others on Capitol Hill have threatened for months that they will hold Holder in contempt without actually doing it. This contempt citation — whose existence was confirmed on Fox News Friday afternoon by Issa — is the first official step in moving forward with contempt proceedings.

After the initial reports, a House Republican leadership aide told The Daily Caller that the LA Times and CBS reports were inaccurate. The GOP leadership aide said that “while there are very legitimate arguments to be made in favor of such an action [holding Holder in contempt], no decision has been made to move forward with one by the Speaker or by House Republican leaders.”

Initially, a spokesperson for Issa refused TheDC’s request for comment. But just hours after TheDC published a story detailing the appearance of infighting between Issa and Boehner, a House oversight committee spokesperson backed off and said the LA Times and CBS reports were inaccurate as well.

“The Justice Department has not fully cooperated with the investigation into gunwalking that occurred in Operation Fast and Furious,” the committee spokesperson told TheDC. “The House Oversight Committee continues to make necessary preparations to hold Attorney General Holder in contempt if the Justice Department refuses to change course and stop blocking access to critical documents.”

“While the committee continues to move toward consideration of contempt, it is important to note that the next step in the process of contempt must be made by the Oversight Committee,” the spokesperson added. “Reports, based on anonymous sources, that decisions for consideration of contempt on the House floor have already been made are inaccurate.”

Well, this Wednesday it will be Round 2 for the Obama Administration, appearing before the United States Supreme Court to plead its’ case for governing against the will of the people, and not upholding the laws of the Constitution of the United States.

In the plaintiff’s corner is Eric Holder’s Department of Justice (DOJ), represented by Donald Verilli, U.S. Solicitor General (the position that Justice Helena Kagan held in the Obama Administration–before he appointed her to the SCOTUS), according to a FOXNews article today.

The Great State of Arizona, governed by Republican Jan Brewer, is in the defendant’s corner, being represented by former GOP Solicitor General, Paul Clement, who is now well known for his Perry Mason-like performance before the court two weeks ago, while representing 26 U.S. states (over half of America) in their lawsuit against Obamacare, with most observers saying he rolled a strike.

In that same set of hearings, Donald Verilli was roundly criticized from both sides of the aisle for his now famous Barney Fife-like performance–attempting to defend Obamacare for the Obama Administration.

As a black conservative Tea Party patriot, I have been struggling with what I should do, if anything, in response to the rash of incidents of racial violence resulting from the Martin/Zimmerman case. Folks, a great evil is running the show in our country right now.

Prolific race-hustler Al Sharpton is heralded as a hero. http://bit.ly/IIUZR5 Attorney General Eric Holder ignores the New Black Panther “dead or alive” bounty on George Zimmerman. http://bit.ly/HM1Aiq Three major TV networks are caught manipulating facts of the Martin/Zimmerman case to fuel racial hatred and anger. http://bit.ly/HchWtZ Minister Farrakhan tweeted referring to the Martin/Zimmerman case, “Where there is no justice, there will be no peace. Soon and very soon, the law of retaliation may very well be applied.”http://yhoo.it/GPnyxc

Even a nut case white supremacist group have thrown their hat, or skinned heads, into the ring, threatening violence. http://bit.ly/IsEp8G

Rather than showing pictures of 6’3” seventeen-year-old Trayvon Martin, nearly every TV news broadcast features pictures of Trayvon as an adorable little boy in his little league football uniform. This is done by design to further the media’s storyline: innocent-little-black-boy-murdered-by-evil-racist-white-man. Zimmerman is not white. He is Hispanic. To further the mainstream media storyline, the New York Times has deemed Zimmerman, a “white” Hispanic. http://wapo.st/HilSiA

I do not know what transpired between George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin. I do know that the Race Industry has gone to extraordinary, dishonest lengths to promote its innocent-little-black-boy-murdered-by-evil-racist-white-man storyline.

Even president Obama despicably and masterfully fueled the flames of racial hatred by saying, “If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon”. http://bit.ly/HTrpcO As a seasoned professional politician, president Obama surely knew his comment would up the ante of black rage.

So yes, as Christian and as patriot, I wondered, what should I do to help calm the storm of Martin/Zimmerman related racial violence? Should I rally black conservatives to denounce the violence and call for unity at a press conference? No, the liberal biased mainstream media would not cover such a press conference. Non-victim-minded blacks do not fit the media-desired image of America. Blacks who love their country without resentment toward fellow Americans who are white are as repulsive to the mastream media as showing Dracula the cross.

Well, what about a racial peace rally – blacks and whites standing together, singing songs and talking about unity. No, Obama’s SEIU thugs and/or the New Black Panthers could exploit the event by showing up to assault patriots.

Remember Kenneth Gladney, the black conservative who was beaten and sent to the emergency room by SEIU thugs at a town hall meeting during the health care debates? http://bit.ly/OCx7g Many believe Gladney’s beating was in response to Obama White House’s clarion call to “push back twice as hard” and get in the faces of those opposing Obamacare.

The mainstream media will never tell the truth about black-on-white crime. When reporting incidents of black-on-white violence, the media walks a tightrope, bending over backwards to avoid mentioning race. And yet I heard a report on the radio in which the reporter, without hesitation, up front and in your face said five “black” men were shot by a “white” male in a white pickup truck. This type of story fits the racist image that the media desires to portray of white America. According to the media, blacks are ALWAYS the victims and never the aggressors. http://bit.ly/IBgnXa

So how do we right-thinking, decent Americans counter all the racial hate, evil and violence, fueled by media and the Obama administration, that’s contaminating our great country?

Mary is away, up north visiting family. Thus, I found myself in the grocery store checkout line with my shopping cart one-third full. An elderly white gentleman in line behind me had two items. “Excuse me sir – you can go in front of me.” He gleefully replied, “Thank you very much.” After the cashier had bagged his items and given the elderly white gentleman his change, he thanked me again.

I thought, that’s it! For now, until God leads me otherwise, I can simply continue doing what I, along with millions of my fellow Americans, do every day: seize every opportunity to spread racial harmony and kindness. I know that sounds corny, but I know it is the right thing to do.

Despite what the Race Industry would have you believe, a majority of Americans are not at each other throats, divided along racial lines. However, this is unquestionably the agenda of the Race Industry. Incidents of race related violence are on the rise since the Martin/Zimmerman incident. http://bit.ly/HJ1djA

Most Americans are over “the race thing.” Americans live, work and play together just fine. Interracial marriage is far from being the big deal it was in the past. Unfortunately, it is the mission of the mainstream media, the Obama administration and race profiteers to keep the Race Industry alive and profitable. These people (race instigators and exploiters) are evil.

Therefore, it is up to us – proud responsible Americans – to continue sowing seeds of racial harmony, brotherhood and peace.

The lawlessness of Attorney General Eric Holder’s DOJ never ends.

Some time ago, I published a “Cliff Notes” version of  “Injustice: Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Administration,” written by J. Christian Adams, a former attorney for the Voting Rights Section of the Department of Justice. He details the bizarre agenda of the DOJ, which is infested with radical left-wing attorneys whose sole purpose is to transform a system based on “equal justice under the law” into a lawless system that is fixated on racial grievance.

Lavished with taxpayer dollars, they conduct routine witch hunts across America, filing lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit, targeting cities, states, corporations, sheriff’s departments, police departments, and especially Arizona, accusing them of “racist” and anti-immigrant” laws. (This is an intentional distortion of language by the DOJ, since there are no “anti-immigrant” laws, just “anti-illegal immigrant” laws.)

They are rabidly focused on defending blacks and Hispanics (in that order) even if it means defeating the rule of law.

Back in 2008 date, the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, under Thomas Perez, dismissed voter intimidation charges against the New Black Panthers, despite overwhelming  video evidence and eye witness
testimony.

Most recently, this emboldened bunch of racist thugs has put a $10,000 bounty on George Zimmerman’s head, publicly circulated wanted posters, and made public calls for violence and war against whites.

Adding fuel to the fire of racial madness are the usual race baiters, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. Demented Congressman Frederica Wilson (D-FL) stoked it even more when she idiotically stated that Trayvon Martin, that sweet young boy, was “hunted down like a dog.”

Here’s a more recent photo of sweet young Trayvon Martin that the media won’t show you

A member of George Zimmerman’s family has sent a letter to Holder asking why he doesn’t arrest the New Black Panthers for their intentional calls for violence against whites?

Aren’t these hate crimes? This family member said that Holder wasn’t arresting the Panthers, because Holder is black.

This is the gutter in which the Department of Injustice wallows.

“Equal justice under the law” has no place in Obama’s DOJ.

Not only that, but Holder recently made it very clear that reverse discrimination against whites has just begun.
He made the incredible statement: “Affirmative action has been an issue since segregation practices. The question is not when does it end, but when does it begin….When do people of color truly get the benefits to which they are entitled?”

The New Black Panthers chant, “Black Power”!

Whatever happened to Black Pride?

Poll Workers on Primary Day in Washington, DC offer US Attorney General Eric H Holder’s ballot to vote… to a complete Stranger. Other voting locations in Washington, DC offer to sign for ballots. Eric Holder has said multiple times there exists no evidence of Voter Fraud.

By Jon Matthews, Right & Wrong Radio 

“Are you that desperate for an execution?” – Sam Patterson, Defense Attorney speaking to Marty Rockman, Producer of “Citizen Verdict” – 2003)

There is absolutely no denying the media today has transitioned from a somewhat objective public service entity to a biased propaganda machine that will it seems, remain forever lost in cyberspace until such time it is swallowed by the very black hole it has created taking with it those who worship it.

I believe the media reached its point of no return back in the late 70’s, surprisingly enough during a seemingly apparent moment of nostalgic journalistic integrity when it actually attempted to participate in productive journalism by asking the question: “Do movies shape opinions and/or influence actions in society?”

The question rocked Hollywood.  Fearing a potential backlash like that experienced briefly in the 50’s and 60’s from those who believed Rock & Roll was the devil’s music, Hollywood’s liberal element and the politicians funded by them responded quickly, collectively and loudly.  Movies they rationalized, are only entertainment and don’t have that kind of power.  Playing on the words of another battle cry prevalent in that day among those opposed to gun control Hollywood claimed, “Movies don’t influence people, people influence people.”   Forgetting apparently that movies are made by people.

Some went even further claiming it was society that influenced Hollywood rather than the other way around. Given the fact the media and Hollywood are both capitalistic profit seeking entities in spite of their attempts to portray themselves otherwise one can see their point, a case of simple economic supply and demand.

But studies like those conducted by Purdue University English Professor William J. Palmer who during the 90’s sensed a parallel change in our social climate in line with the media and Hollywood in the 70’s and 80’s theorized that rather than one affecting the other the media, Hollywood and society seemed to be working hand in hand and would continue to do so in the 90’s and beyond.  And, I believe he was right.

Ratings and thus revenue are determined by what people are watching.  Events have always driven the news media.  Hollywood sensed an opportunity and began to frame the social unrest of the 60’s and 70’s on the silver screen, transitioning primarily from escapism that entertained to audience inclusion, portraying historical aspects of social events, though obviously not always accurately.  The combination worked and a new era of movies enticed paying customers to attend their premieres in numbers never before imagined.

But as is the case in a hedonistic society such as ours interest in these episodes of semi-reality began to wane.  Society slipped back into its fantasy induced stupor having found a new escape in the form of better drugs and thanks to the massive increase in prosperity in our nation the money to purchase them.

Hollywood responded in kind.  They began once again to produce movies that fed our incessant need for virtual escapism a society such as ours craves to counter the daily grind we experience in our search for economic and hopefully subsequent spiritual Utopia.

Sci-Fi, cultural exploitation movies and futuristic political commentaries came at such a pace that the entire movie going experience morphed from a single premiere into a smorgasbord of cinematic choices complete with multiplex theaters in which to satisfy any particular taste.

I happened to have been in the military during the 70’ and 80’s and spent my off time partaking in both the drug and movie craze of that time (as well as a really ridiculous stint at discos of which I am ashamed to admit).  Whether it was the drugs or the atmosphere I personally found several movies during this season of change that struck me as prophetic.  As I look back on them now I see I was not just imagining but truly seeing into the future.

The movie “Network” (released in 1976) was one of those movies.  It so perfectly painted the love/hate relationship between Hollywood and the news media that existed then and so accurately depicts how these 2 industries have become “frenemies” for profit by simply marketing everything as entertainment and all participants as celebrities.

Even more telling is how the political landscape uses both for its progressive power grabs.  To watch this movie today and not see how prophetic it was then would be validation that one is truly an idiot (or a liberal which is the politically correct term for idiot).  “Network” won 4 Academy Awards, including Best Actor (Peter Finch), Best Actress (Faye Dunaway), Best Supporting Actress (Beatrice Straight) and Best Screenplay validating the media andHollywoodfinally found the niche in which they could both exist in harmony.  To this date I still consider this my all-time favorite movie.

There have been other movies of this genre. “Running Man” with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Richard Dawson reluctantly comes to mind.  You may remember this was about a game show in which accused citizens were allowed to compete for their freedom against an array of super hero type executioners.

But in light of the recent controversy surrounding the Florida shooting of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman and the vigilante responses by black activists, politicians and organizations like the “New” Black Panther Party (the “Old” Black Panther Party is now called the “Rainbow Coalition”) I am reminded of a movie that came out nearly 3 decades after “Network”, though not with as much fanfare or critical acclaim.  It is however just as prophetic and apparently just as accurate. It was the movie, “Citizen Verdict” and starred the king of trashy day time talk shows, Jerry Springer and B-Actor Armand Assante.

In “Citizen Verdict” (released in 2003) Florida governor Bull Tyler (Roy Scheider) is trying to ease the dissatisfaction of his constituents in the midst of a major crime wave.  Television producer Marty Rockman (Jerry Springer) has offered him a high-profile way to do just that.  Rockman, best known for his splashy reality program, “So Sue Me” has come up with an idea for a new show — “Citizen Verdict,” in which an alleged murderer is tried in three hours on broadcast television, with the viewers voting on the guilt or innocence of the accused.  If 75% or more of those who call in (the super majority concept was probably to appease Independents and Libertarians) vote to convict the defendant he/she will be executed as part of a pay-per-view special to follow.

Governor Tyler thinks the show could be good for publicity and gives his approval, with Ricky Carr (Raffaello Degruttola), accused of murdering the host of a popular cooking show, given the honor of starring in the first episode. Carr is being defended by Sam Patterson (Armand Assante), a once-respected civil rights lawyer fallen on hard times, while prosecutor Jessica Landers (Justine Mitchell) represents the state.

The movie takes its weird prophetic twist when Defense Attorney Patterson realizes the trial is being skewed after learning an obtained video placed as the key piece of evidence has been edited in order to ensure the conviction and execution of the defendant.  Sound eerily familiar yet?

Fast forward to today.  George Zimmerman has admitted he shot Trayvon Martin, claiming it was in self-defense. What we have seen since that day is evidence of the transfiguration of justice that has taken this country in the name of political correctness into class and racial warfare reminiscent of the 60’s and threatens to launch us into yet another civil war.

Daytime television talk hosts like Nancy Grace and Jane Velez Mitchell, never shy about being judge, jury and executioner in their daily trial by estrogen driven man-haters court room have all but condemned Zimmerman to execution.  MSNBC has not only made racist rhetoric a staple of their pundit circuit but continue to employ one of their most ridiculous pundits, Al Sharpton, who advocates civil disorder and instigates racist tensions on a regular basis. MSNBC has also been found guilty in editing audio tapes that imply racist claims made by activists like Sharpton in order to indict Zimmerman.

Politicians Maxine Waters has labeled the shooting a “hate crime” while Ferderica Wilson calls it “murder” stating that Trayvon Martin “…was hunted down like a dog, shot on the street.”  Former Black Panther and now Illinois Congressman Bobbie Rush donned his $300 designer Nike hoodie on the floor of Congress calling for vindication for racial profiling. Congressman John Lewis equated the shooting to the 1955 lynching of Emmitt Till (hung for whistling at a white woman) while Jesse Jackson elevated Martin to “martyr” status on behalf of the civil rights movement, which apparently still rages in the Jackson camp in spite of the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Today, we learn that the newly appointed Florida State Attorney Angela Corey plans to bring charges against Zimmerman, apparently offering the due diligence Florida Governor Rick Scott has determined necessary to “…preserve the integrity of the investigation.” (Translation: “Come up with something to calm the hysterical masses and make it look like I’m tough on crime”).

And of course, Attorney General Eric Holder, utilizing the Obama’s camp credo of “…never let a crisis go to waste” is taking time off from handling his cover-up of the “Fast and Furious” scandal for a “thorough review” of the incident in order to determine if there were “civil rights” issues violated in the shooting (Translation: “Can we solidify even more of the black voting block?”).

Yes, it seems we are indeed once again at a crossroads in which the prophetic comes to pass.  Entertainment and influence is once again being redefined by the media as objective journalism.  And just as Sam Patterson asked Marty Rockman the question begs to be asked again by those who possess reason, “Are we that desperate for an execution?”  Unfortunately it would seem so.  I guess the only thing that remains is deciding who will host the new show, “Citizen Verdict” and what network will produce it?   Should Obama get re-elected my money is on CSPAN.  I bet they could even get Jerry Springer to host it.  I heard he is available.

'His' people are not the American people.

So let me get this right – James O’Keefe has repeatedly exposed cases of voter fraud up to and including going to Eric Holder’s polling place and being offered Holder’s ballot and within hours of this exposure Holder’s DOJ releases a statement claiming that it is manufactured by the right wing.

Can you say Rule’s for Radicals?

Holder is one of many reasons we need Voter ID requirements…
FUND: ‘WE NEED VOTER ID LAWS NOW’

But back to the bullshit that is Eric Holder…

Now in the face of the George Zimmerman family calling out Eric Holder and the DOJ for failing to charge the New Black Panthers for the bounty placed on Zimmerman’s head, the various other hate crimes committed by the NBP and the fact that Zimmerman will never get a fair trail in this climate – Holder has done nothing and now the Zimmerman family is calling him out.

Zimmerman family challenges Holder on New Black Panthers, says no arrests ‘based solely on your race’

In a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder… a family member of George Zimmerman asked the nation’s top law enforcement officer why he has chosen to not arrest members of the New Black Panther Party for their rhetoric — some of which may fit the federal government’s definition of a hate crime — throughout the Trayvon Martin case.

The family member believes the reason Holder hasn’t made those arrests is because he, like the members of the New Black Panther Party, is black.

Really you think? You might recall that Holder failed to file charges against the New Black Panthers in Philadelphia for voter intimidation – so it seems Holder is developing a pattern of letting crimes by the New Black Panther’s and minorities slide – especially if the crime is against a white person or someone like Zimmerman who is Hispanic is labelled as White… and we’re called racist?

PJTV’s Scott Ott carries out an entertaining undercover investigation: he goes to the offices of several groups that denounce voter identification laws as unconstitutional suppression of minority votes, etc., and tries to get in to see someone. Sure enough: they all require identification, including the Department of Justice, which has sued to invalidate voter identification laws. You have a constitutional right to petition for redress of grievances, but if you want to see Eric Holder or anyone else at the the Department of Justice to explain your grievance, you need a photo ID.

Attorney general Eric Holder submits letter to 5th Court of Appeals.

From  fox news :

Attorney General Eric Holder acknowledged Wednesday that the “courts have final say,” and said his department would respond formally to an appeals court order to explain whether the Obama administration believes judges in fact have the power to overturn federal laws.

The attorney general, at a brief press conference in Chicago, made clear the administration thinks they do.

“We respect the decisions made by the courts since Marbury v. Madison,” Holder said Wednesday, referring to the landmark 1803 case that established the precedent of judicial review. “Courts have final say.”

Related Video:Firestorm over Obama’s comments about Supreme Court

The comments come after a three-judge panel for the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday ordered the Justice Department to explain its position by Thursday at noon. It marked the latest escalation between the two branches of government over the federal health care overhaul, after President Obama cautioned the Supreme Court against overturning the law and warned that such an act would be “unprecedented.”

Holder said Wednesday that “we are formulating a response now” and said the department’s statement would be “appropriate.”

He also said the department is “confident health care reform will stand constitutional muster.”

From the dailycaller we know that Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House committee on Oversight and Government Reform, took a major step toward holding Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for his failure to provide subpoenaed documents and other information about Operation Fast and Furious.

In a Jan. 31 letter, Issa had threatened Holder with such a move if he failed to provide all the subpoenaed documents relating to the Fast and Furious gun walking scandal by Feb. 9. That deadline has come and gone, and Holder’s Department of Justice still hasn’t provided most of those documents. Issa’s subpoena dates back to Oct. 12, 2011.

In a seven-page letter, Issa revealed that Deputy Attorney General James Cole begged Congress to extend the Feb. 9 deadline. Issa wrote that the request was “ironic” and “ignores the reality that the Department has unreasonably delayed producing these documents to the Committee.”

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder says the Justice Department will respond “appropriately” to a federal appellate judge in Texas who demanded a letter recognizing the authority of the federal courts to strike down laws passed by Congress.

Holder made his remarks at a news conference in Chicago on Wednesday, a day after 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Jerry Smith questioned President Barack Obama’s remarks earlier in the week about an “unelected” court possibly striking down his health care overhaul.

Smith asked the Justice Department for a three-page, single-spaced letter affirming the federal court’s authority.

Holder defended the president’s remarks and acknowledged the courts have “the final say.” Holder says he’s confident that the Supreme Court will find the Affordable Care Act constitutional.

Despite Attorney General Eric Holder’s, and the Obama Administration’s stonewalling of Congress by refusing to hand over documents regarding the failed gun walking program, Fast and Furious, the Congressional Oversight Committee is receiving leaked documents that are shedding even more light into the government’s highly secretive, Mexican illegal gun-running scheme, allegedly hatched by the DOJ to establish a justification for passing anti-gun legislation here in the U.S.

William Lajeunesse at Fox News files this report of developments in the investigation of Fast and Furious:

William Lajeunesse

DEMAND ERIC HOLDER’S RESIGNATION!
UPDATE: More than 66,000 have already signed the petition!

Attorney General, Eric Holder’s tenure has been pockmarked by deception, lies and inconsistencies, culminating in the botched “Fast and Furious” firearms sting that ran from September 2009, until December 2010 and saw U.S. officials “walk” more than 2,500 assault weapons into drug-infested corridors of Mexico, only to lose track of the guns. Tragically, those weapons have resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Mexicans and U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian A. Terry.

Eric Holder

Dissatisfied with Holder’s lack of honesty, accountability over the “Fast and Furious” scandal as well as increasing public demand for answers, 40 Republicans sent a letter urging President Obama to ask for Holder’s resignation.

Obama discounted the letter and in fact, publicly endorsed Holder in hopes the issue would fade away. That hasn’t happened. Public pressure has continued to intensify.

+ Grassroots Call to Action:

Action #1 — Sign The “Holder Must Go” Petition.

Action #2 – Fax Congress Now!

Your faxes will be delivered immediately — while this high-profile hearing is still fresh on the minds of members of Congress
