In reply to the discussion: Obama keeps Holder as Attorney General [View all]John2
(2,730 posts)38. Most
of the disagreement seems to be on him enforcing the laws against marijuana? Holder has to do his job because of his oath. The criticism shouldn't be at him but against the people in Congress that made the law. I agree their evidence is flimsy on marijuana. That is where your fight should be. Colorado and Washington took a good step to force the debate in this county.
The problem I have with Holder is he should enforce Civil Rights Laws the same way he enforce Drug Laws and not cower from the Repukes. If it was me, I would have some Repukes in chains by now.

While he forgave CIA torture, banksters & Telco spying, Holder did crack down on Gov. Don Siegelman.
