Eric Holder: 1st+2nd Amendents are optional

Post by Vonz90 »

From NRO's Campaign Spot.

In the aftermath of the Columbine killings, one of then-Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder's responses was to seek government restrictions of speech on the Internet.

"The court has really struck down every government effort to try to regulate — we tried with regard to pornography. It is going to be a difficult thing, but it seems to me that if we can come up with resasonable restrictions, reasonable regulations on how people interact on the Internet that is something the Supreme Court and the courts ought to favorably look at."

I guess when you've decided the Second Amendment is optional, I guess it's easier to conclude the one right next to it is optional, too.

There's that word again, "REASONABLE" - reasonable to WHO?
POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.

Holder was the spokes-weasel who got to answer questions on the 5am 'no-knock' raid to 'rescue' Elain Gonzales. I know, the kid is a happy teen now, living a carefree life in the people's paradise of Cuba, but I thought I'd bring up that piece of ancient history from the 'Clinton-I' years.

he was also an advocate for the pardoning of the FALN terrorists

In a September 1999 letter to House Judiciary Chairman Henry Hyde, FBI Director Louis Freeh explained that “the FBI has consistently advised the DOJ in writing that the FBI was opposed to any such pardon and or commutation of sentences for any of these individuals.” Freeh said clemency “would likely return committed, experienced, sophisticated and hardened terrorists to the clandestine movement.” Mr. Freeh emphasized “the FBI was unequivocally opposed to the release of these terrorists under any circumstances and had so advised the DOJ.” Moreover, in a letter to me dated Jan. 6, 1998, (more than a year before the pardons) a senior official from Holder’s own Justice Department expressly referred to the FALN members as “terrorists.”

Yet, according to Edward Lewine of the New York Daily News, despite this opposition, “Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder, the Justice Department official most involved with this issue, reportedly supported clemency.” Indeed, rather than consult with attack victims and their families, Mr. Holder instead met privately with members of Congress and recommended what the FALN members should do to facilitate a grant of presidential clemency.

And he said in an interview on Fox news that the agents didn't take the kid at the point of a gun.

Why am I NOT getting a warm, fuzzy feeling about this dude? So far, the Obamanation is shaping up to be a disaster for the Constitution we all love.
