Citizens of America have a right to presume the Department of Justice is keeping a close watch on legal issues and justice for all Americans. The AG is appointed by the President
and, according to Wikipedia the “…original duties of this officer were “to prosecute and conduct all suits in the Supreme Court in which the United States shall be concerned, and to give his advice and opinion upon questions of law when required by the president of the United States, or when requested by the heads of any of the departments.” So, why does Eric Holder spend so much time meeting with groups concerned with promoting or furthering the interests of minority populations in America? Is that what we pay him to do? Is that his job?
PJMedia has posted a sample of his itinerary and asserts his activity suggests a problem:
…seeing whom Holder is giving access to raises serious questions about our nation’s primary law enforcer’s commitment to race-neutral enforcement. This is especially a concern given the Holder-led DOJ’s intrusions into employment law, voting law, discrimination law, and onto college campuses.
A Sampling of Holders (redacted) schedule for one month, March 2009:
Selma-to-Montgomery march commemoration (page 13)
Civil Rights Summit — AG’s Conference Room (page 16)
Attendees: NAACP LFD, Asian American Justice Center, ACLU, Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under the Law, MALDEF, Ben Jealous, Hilary Shelton NAACPMeeting with L.A. Mayor Villaraigosa (illegal immigrant advocate) (page 20)
National Conference of Black Mayors (page 32)
Meeting with National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (page 35)
National Association of Black Owned Broadcasters Awards Dinner (page 36)
Meeting with BET founder Russell Simmons (page 49)
This is yet another indication of the Presidents intention and plan to fundamentally transform America. Eric Holder is free to associate with anyone he pleases but as Attorney General of the United States of America he has an obligation to serve according to the duties of his office. Racial activism is not in his job description.
Racial activism may not be in the job description of US Attorney General, but both Obama and Holder have made it a priority.
Scary black people! Run!
Holder reached the pinnacle of his success when he garnered the Mark Rich pardon from Slick Willie.
It’s been downhill ever since . . . . .
Okay Chris, fun and games are over. Is the attorney General doing the work of the people or is he using the his position as a weapon to further his political beliefs and ambitions?
This is not about race. This is about a man in the most powerful legal position in America using his office as a social justice hammer and wedge. We do not pay him to attend meetings and plot with lobbyists and race activists. We pay him to prosecute the law and uphold the Constitution.
This is an example of why I don’t take seriously all the high horse, holier than thou nonsense you dish out on this blog.
