Eric Holder and Rip Van Winkle
I will admit being the CEO of the Justice Department is no picnic but this is a job Mr. Holder accepted. In accepting the job, one could hardly call him a neophyte nor a Washington out-sider. During his Confirmation Hearings and when accepting the job, Mr. Holder appeared to me to be perfectly sober, wide-eyed and bushy tail.
It maybe Mr. Holder’s thorough knowledge of the inner workings of Washington that gives one the appearance he is sleeping on his job. Just as our President is learning, Mr. Holder, more than any other cabinet member, knows the advantages of holding your cards close to your chest. To that I say “Bravo!” However…..
In my opinion, there are these accumulative and annoying instances that are not as inconspicuous as they appear in isolation. Instances strengthening my concerns we are becoming a lawless nation continuing the shredding our Constitution as started by the previous administration as follows:
Not appropriately identifying a hate crime with all its ramifications in the case of the Holocaust Museum Murder. James Von Braum.
Not bringing criminal charges of any manner to members of the past administration. Cheney, Rumsfield, “W”, Gonzales etc.,
Failure to Court Marshal a member of the Armed Forces for insulting his Commander In Chief, the President: Rep. Joe Wilson
Allowing past indiscretions to escalate to the point a member of Congress can go to a foreign country to commit what many consider a treasonous act. Sen. Jim DeMint.
There are some teachers and many parents who know all too well the importance of consistency. A bitter pill to swallow, I agree, but what are the choices? You either have rules and laws important for the appropriate functioning of an institution or country or you don’t. As Rip Van Winkle found out, situations do not change during periods of sleep, however long. Here it is yet again that brilliant analysis about “The moving finger….”
Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-SPAN and the spirits of the unborn for the help,
