Thug and US Attorney General Eric Holder gets his panties in a wad:

Holder claims 'vast amount' of discretion in enforcing federal laws

Attorney General Eric Holder maintained Tuesday that he has a “vast amount” of discretion in how the Justice Department prosecutes federal law.

Holder’s remarks, during testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, came in response to GOP accusations that he is flouting the law with his department’s positions on marijuana legalization, criminal sentencing and a contentious provision of the president’s signature healthcare law.

Leading the questioning was House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), who asked Holder whether he believed there were any limits to the administration’s prosecutorial discretion.

“There is a vast amount of discretion that a president has — and, more specifically, that an attorney general has,” Holder responded. “But that discretion has to be used in an appropriate way so that your acting consistent with the aims of the statute but at the same time making sure that you are acting in a way that is consistent with our values, consistent with the Constitution and protecting the American people.”

Angered, the usually reserved Holder wagged a finger at Gohmert.

“You don’t want to go there, buddy, all right?,” he said.

“I don’t want to go there?” responded Gohmert. “About the contempt?”

“No. You should not assume that that is not a big deal to me,” Holder replied. “I think it was inappropriate, I think it was unjust, but never think that that was just a big deal to me. Don’t ever think that.”

Did Louie Gohmert fear that the AG would cast aspersions on his asparagus again?

Louie Gohmert is easily one of the most idiotic persons if not the most idiotic person to ever sit in Congress. So I can see why you would be so impressed with his performance.

He did behave like a little boy getting his lunch money taken away by a cheap thug. He really didn't know what to do when faced with a bully. Eric Holder's thug days are numbered. If he can avoid jail, he may be able to return to corrupt friends in Chicago.

Holder has his plate full... Still trying to bring this case involving George Zimmerman. .Perhaps a vast majority of his agency is involved on that one case. Social justice you know.

Until the time that Guam tips over and capsizes; the title of "Most Idiotic Person to Ever Sit in Congress" belongs to Hank Johnson.

Exexpat,

I know you suffer from an inferiority complex of successful Black men. You call him a thug which is code for something you don't have the balls to say publicly. Please post your educational and professional qualifications and we can compare between you and AG Holder.

Keep on truckin' hee haw

I'm not sure who was worse. Holder for selectively enforcing the law or John Ashcroft for covering up a nude statue. I'm with Holder, given John finally stood up to Bush.

[Sousuke 1,214]

PS. Gonzales was just as bad if not worse than Holder.

No; he's busy defending (only) "his people".

Thugs are not determined by skin color, but rather by his or her behavior. As for my professional qualifications you're just going to have to take it on the chin on that one as like you, and everyone else I simply post here with my own humor, thoughts, and observations. Your sweetheart "Holder" holds a public office so he's the one who needs to be held accountable. I'm just a voter who watches from the sidelines. Your guy has a long history of hanging with his boys and girls and using his office to advance his personal agenda. Ya gots an itchy little 'feeling meter' that could use some calibration, and ya likes to toss out the race card when a black man gets called out. I like the word thug because it defines the behavior of political bullies like your guy.

As Bad as Holder is,

Gonzales was about 9 times worse.

Still, it's early - lets see what happens, Holder still has time to match up with Cousin G.

Well, this explains much. Eric Holder says that the treatment he got yesterday at the House IRS committee is due to (wait for it): racism. And it's also apparently why the preznit is also not doing very well.

(I'm sure he thought he was 'off the record' since he was speaking to "his people".

Holder: Gohmert Disagreement Example of Unprecedented Racism Against Him and Obama

At Al Sharpton's annual National Action Network Annual convention, Attorney General Eric Holder spoke about civil rights and referenced his back-and-forth at Tuesday's House Judiciary Committee hearing, with Rep. Louis Gohmert (R-TX)...

"I have been proud to stand along side of you in supporting efforts to advance the cause of justice that has always been at the center of this , this administrations work I am pleased to note that the last five years have been defined by significant strides and lasting reforms, even in the face, even in the face, of unprecedented, unwarranted ugly adversity. And if you don't believe that, you look at the way ...forget about me... forget about me , you look at the way the Attorney General of the Untied States was treated yesterday by a House committee. Had nothing to do with me what Attorney General has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment? What President has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment "
