Holder as 2012 Election Issue

 “Holder controversies could weigh on Obama in 2012 race”  “Holder over the past three-and-a-half years has become, according to one polling outfit, the most unpopular member of Obama’s Cabinet. The attorney general is associated with a string of controversial decisions — from his response to the Fast and Furious probe to his department’s suits against state immigration laws to the campaign to halt GOP-led voter ID laws in Florida and elsewhere — that have riled conservatives, even some Democrats.”

“DOJ vs. Florida: Round One, Florida”

PJ Rule of Law.


“That last part is the most important. DOJ took the radical position that Florida could not remove illegally registered non-citizens from the voter rolls within 90 days of an election. The court rejected this interpretation of Motor Voter.


In fact, sources tell me that the Voting Section Chief actually has agreed with the position of Florida in this legal circumstance. He doesn’t believe that Motor Voter can preserve illegally registered voters on the rolls. But these days, rational and thoughtful legal analysis at Justice has given way to partisan law enforcement.”
