49. Sadly under POTUS Obama, Holder has made the DOJ a joke that
does not support the law of the USA and our international treaties.

The resulting "rule of law" is political and tiered and an embarrassment for American Ideals we are taught in childhood.

Technically, in what I believe an objective view, Holder has abetted worse crimes by not prosecuting admitted war criminals and obvious financial and political criminals (including high elected and unelected officials and members of the USSC).

The GWB DOJ was also a politicized joke as were enacted laws like the Patriot Act and Military Tribunal Acts as well as other limitations to civil rights guaranteed under the Constitution and precedent -- the Constitution was not perfect regards to civil rights but created a mechanism that fair interpretation would serve only to increase individual freedom and security over time. Any policy that does not improve individual freedom and security of the least endowed American is regressive under the Constitution -- thus we had slavery abolished, vote to all, civil rights, increased sovereignty of Indian Nations, etc -- incremental but Constitutional while I would argue any regressive backward movement is anti-Constitution and and anti-American.
