Can we get our money back on Eric Holder?
Like any consumer, taxpayers have a right to demand a refund if a product is defective. Eric Holder is proving himself to have many mental design defects and as such is a completely inoperable device. He is the Yugo of the American legal system.
Ignoring his leadership, participation in or apologies for previously demonstrated intellectual incapacity, his recent suit against Arizona ranks among the most feeble of legal constitutional law actions. In twenty five pages of disorganized discourse, Holder managed to give lawyers a bad worse name. Those of serious con law scholarship – which apparently excludes Obama and Holder – are struggling to regain respiration after reading Holder’s brief.
For those who fleeting moments of sanity have forced to ignore the evening news, Arizona recently enacted a law which will cause illegal aliens to be incarcerated. AZ decided to do so because the federal government won’t. In crafting the law, the Deep Ditch State studiously avoided redefining the definition of immigration or legal entry into the U.S. In other words, they did not want to violate the federal governments defined role as the body that defines immigration law and policy.
Which Holder claims Arizona did.
Our legal system has the notion of preemption, which in simplified forms means if a higher level of government (and by higher I mean more elevated, not more stoned) is granted authority in one aspect of law, any decision they make overrides decisions made by lower and allegedly more sober governing bodies. Holder rightly cites that the Constitution grants both this preemptive power and that the feds have the authority to define naturalization and immigration law. Then again kids riding the short bus could make such a simple observation.
This is where Holder leaves the intellectual highway and tumbles into the ditch of dementia. In his briefs he continually harps on preemption in an apparent attempt to convince somebody that Arizona law is preempting federal law (which, as noted above, is not the case). He veers into irrelevancies like Congress allegedly having other objectives in immigration policy aside from making unauthorized immigration a crime. Not seeing the irony, Holder notes that the “President of the United States [has] the authority to ‘take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.’” {Note to Eric: He has the duty, not the authority} If Holder is pitching this perspective to Supreme Court justices, then he runs the risk of one or all nine of them applying a gavel to his skull. I doubt Eric is so errant as to file suit simply to convince voters of some righteous element of his bosses administration – filing frivolous law suits is for small time criminals, like John Edwards, a level so low that even Eric cannot sink to it.
This, sadly, leaves imbecility as the remaining explanation for his actions. Eric is not lucid. Holder is half-baked. His faculties are deficient, his dendra defunct. In short, Eric is unsuited and unsuitable for the job that Barack Obama gave him. As with any useless appliance, he needs to be taken back, the money invested in him refunded, and his parts salvaged for spares.
