President-elect Obama is poised to appoint Eric Holder as the next attorney general. I have mixed feelings about this.
On the one hand, Holder blatantly lied during the Elian Gonzalez fiasco. And he schemed to bring about the infamous pardon by Bill Clinton of fugitive financier Marc Rich, to the dismay of federal prosecutors and disgust of even hard-core Clinton supporters and liberal lawmakers.
On the other hand, his being appointed reduces the likelihood that a wacko like Charles Ogletree, the Harvard law professor described in the press as Obama’s top advisor on criminal justice and racial issues, will be appointed attorney general. We wrote earlier about Ogletree’s claims that America is a racist country that brought on 9/11 through its stupidity.
Holder’s appointment would also forestall the appointment of Deval Patrick, an advocate of racial quotas, baseless lawsuits, and censorship, who some had predicted would be the next attorney general.
However, the Washington Post and Boston Globe have predicted that Patrick may be appointed by Obama to the Supreme Court. He could do far more harm on the Supreme Court than as attorney general.

Alas, the lesser of evil is still evil.
How did we get from Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, John Jay, et al….to this?!
How much stupidity and ignorance can we cram into one bucket? Forget political parties. Where are the true leaders? Where are the intelligent and wise people? Wherever they went, how do I get there?
Eric Holder may only be the “lessor of multiple evils” but he is still scary for those of us who hold Liberty dear. While lots of people were aware of Lon Huriuchi, the FBI sniper at Waco, and Janet Reno few then knew of Eric Holder's responsibility in the operation there. There is also that Amicus he filed claiming that the Second Amendment doesn't apply to people, just armed institutions. For example, would he use the force of the Justice Department to achieve Local Content at radio stations thus shutting down syndicated talk show hosts? What would he do with the firearms trace information in the BATFE and NICS files? This is one nomination that Senators should really scrutinize.
other way doing many to lawyers nothing like that
way to prove to say appoint to take way about the one
