Holder enable the most corrupt pardon in American History. He's been nominated to be the A.G. for a President and his team who are coming from Chicago, and used to the "Chicago Way" as its being called. Gov Blago has demonstrated the Chicago Way for us. We need an A.G. that we can trust will keep Illinois style corruption from taking over the nations business. Eric Holder is not that man.

Are you serious. We should dismiss his overt action in the Marc Rich pardon if he says he won't do it again? The Time's must be tilting toward Hollywood. There must be someone else in America that did not cave into their boss as he did with Bill.

There are many many other problems with the Holder nomination. In 1999 he wanted to limit the application of the first amendment to the internet. At the time, he believed that this would be a medium dominated by the Republicans and, therefore, one that should be restricted. On this he was surely wrong. There is also the matter of the pardons for the terrorists he helped obtain pardons for. Then of course there is his connection to the mess in Illinois. He is a man with too many questions. If you do not like the Republicans picking someone who is a hack, you should not support the Democracts nominating a hack like Holder.

HOLDER IS TIED TO THE DOJ'S RECORD DURING HIS TENURE AS U.S. ATTORNEY AND, AS DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL. DURING THIS PERIOD,THE DOJ AND ITS U.S. ATTORNEYS APPEARED TO IGNORE OR WAIVE FOURTH, FIFTH, AND SIXTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS OF CRIMINAL DEFENDANTS. IT HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE AND, I DO NOT EXPECT HOLDER TO ATTEMPT TO CHANGE THAT. OH; THIS IS NOT RACIST TALK. I AM BLACK.
