I love how this man writes. He nails this one, of course.
----
Eric Holder has announced his resignation from his position as U.S. attorney general after almost six years of turning the Justice Department into a partisan political vehicle instead of a law enforcement institution.
It's too early to tell as of this writing what prompted his resignation. One would like to think his legacy of scandals and corruption finally caught up to him, but we have no reasonable expectation that this is the case, given this administration's agility at escaping accountability for any and all wrongdoing.
No, I doubt it's his malfeasance in connection with the Fast and Furious gunrunning scandal, his obstruction of the congressional investigation into the Internal Revenue Service scandal or any other of a number of legitimate reasons warranting his repentance and resignation.
Republicans and other lovers of the rule of law also have little reason for optimism as to the character of Holder's eventual successor, for anyone President Obama selects will doubtlessly be of the same bent - strong on partisan politics and weak on justice.
During their tenure, both Holder and Obama have also used the Justice Department as a vehicle to promote racial grievances, and they've made no secret of their obsession. It's hard to miss that they both view the United States justice system as deeply tainted by institutional racism.
They would have us believe that the system routinely and habitually discriminates against blacks and that law enforcement officials throughout the nation target blacks across the board, from traffic stops to drug charges to criminal assault and other violent crimes.
America gets no points from this grievance industry for having elected an African-American president. Holder announced early on in Obama’s term that Americans are cowards on the issue of race. Obama himself has publicly shown his race-consciousness on numerous occasions, from the Henry Gates affair ("police acted stupidly"/White House beer summit) to the Trayvon Martin affair ("If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon").
Obama has taken his grievances to international bodies, complaining to the United Nations as if he were an advocate against the nation he is charged to lead. He has complained that we have had a poor record on civil rights - telling this, no less, to nations that wouldn't know civil rights if it were tattooed on all their officials' faces.
Just this week, Obama did it again, while acknowledging U.S. shortcomings during his speech to the United Nations. He exhorted nations and religions to reject violent extremism among their populations.
He said, "I realize that America's critics will be quick to point out that at times, we, too, have failed to live up to our ideals, that America has plenty of problems within our own borders." America's critics, he might have noted, take no back seat to him in criticizing America.
