“The Democrat-controlled U.S. House of Representatives has voted 212-206 to ban the Obama administration from spending any funds to try terrorism suspects in civilian court instead of military commissions. Attorney General Eric Holder is reportedly all miffed and vexed. Holder's knots will tighten if the Senate's continuing funding resolution also includes such a provision. […] Since Congress failed to pass a new budget for 2011, the House passed a continuing resolution […] Somebody on the House Appropriations Committee, to Holder’s supposed shock and dismay, inserted a provision that prohibits federal funds from being used to prosecute terrorist detainees in federal criminal courts […] When Democrat members learned about the trial provision, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer went into damage control mode. […] Holder called it “an unprecedented grab of executive authority by Congress […] We have been unable to identify any parallel … in the history of our nation in which Congress has intervened to prohibit the prosecution of particular persons or crimes,” Holder opined.
It’s about subject matter, venue, and funding of federal courts, Mr. Holder. The Constitution gives Congress the authority to decide on those. You can look it up.” [emphasis added]

The apotheosis of "the pot calling the kettle black" was Eric Holder's outrageous insult of Americans as "essentially a nation of cowards". Along with The Obama's wife, who infamously slandered our Nation, this Attorney General believes it is his appointed role to rally anti-American sentiment, which everyone knows is the purview of the ACLU.
Yes, the ACLU has the dubious distinction of representing every reprehensible perpetrator of anti-American actions and behavior. It is essential, in fact, for the continual confirmation of the righteousness of our justice system that some organization assume such a thankless task. But it was never intended that our Nation's highest-ranking prosecutor perform such a defensive role.
The Attorney General of the United States is the chief proxy for the American People within the justice system of the United States. If Eric Holder can't comprehend what role he plays in The Obama's Administration, is it too much to ask for our Constitutional-Expert-in-Chief to know this?
Perhaps we can get to the bottom of these conundrums at some American airport, through the good offices of airport security. A routine pat-down should confirm the absence of knots in Holder's briefs.
