Atty Gen. Holder hasn't read the bill....

All his comments, all the criticism of AZ's immigration bill and now we find out that Attorney General Holder hasn't even read the bill.

Quote:
Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., who has been critical of Arizona's new immigration law, said Thursday he hasn't yet read the law and is going by what he's read in newspapers or seen on television.
Sigh

Quote:
This weekend Mr. Holder told NBC's "Meet the Press" program that the Arizona law "has the possibility of leading to racial profiling." He had earlier called the law's passage "unfortunate," and questioned whether the law was unconstitutional because it tried to assume powers that may be reserved for the federal government.
This last quote is a gem....

Quote:
"I've just expressed concerns on the basis of what I've heard about the law. But I'm not in a position to say at this point, not having read the law, not having had the chance to interact with people are doing the review, exactly what my position is," Mr. Holder told the House Judiciary Committee.
If you're not in a position to say anything because you haven't read the law ... then why are you going on weekend tv news shows spewing this trash about the bill?

You know, people thought W was an idiot ... but compared to BHO, Holder, Napolitano and others in the admin, W looks incredibly bright.

Looks like Mr Holder needs to have a beer summit.


That's what our leaders do when when their mouth kicks in before their brain engages right?

Yes, sounds like that's all they have left to do.

Sounds like they may have already had the "BEER SUMMIT," and Mr. AG may have imbibed too much!

Re: Atty Gen. Holder hasn't read the bill....

All of the fuss about this bill has been nothing but a knee jerk reaction from political bigots who have a distorted and hateful view of their opponents fixed in their minds.

They assure us that this bill must be racist because people who oppose illegal immigration are all racists. They never stop to consider how their own behavior is bigoted and racist in its own way.

Information is important. But when our elected and appointed leaders (like the AG Eric Holder) refuse to make use of the information that is available and educate themselves on the issues of the day, we then see them behaving ignorantly like this.

The bill is easily available. The whole thing can be read in about 5 minutes. I practically had to pull the teeth of one lib on here before he finally agreed to read at least part of this bill. Yet, like all of the other libs, they simply shoot their mouths off before they even read the matter that is in question.

Lame. Real lame.

Re: Atty Gen. Holder hasn't read the bill....

You think it would be the first thing he would do before starting an investigation of it.

It's frustrating when politicians/government officials do this. The only good thing is when they are called out by the media on it and look like fools.

Re: Atty Gen. Holder hasn't read the bill....

To note, while Mr. Holder hasn't read the bill both the Justice Dept and Homeland Security are conducting a review of the law and will finish that soon. After which, I imagine they'll hit the weekend news shows and state their analysis of the bill.

Not to discredit or say they're prejudiced against the bill or won't give it a fair analysis ... but it's hard to imagine a positive analysis or them coming out saying it's okay after both BHO and Mr. Holder have critized it.
