After sending weeks disparaging the new law in Arizona allowing law enforcement officers to check the immigration status of arrestees, Attorney General Eric Holder, according to Stephen Dinan of the Washington Times, admitted yesterday to a Congressional panel that he hasn’t even read the law yet;
“I’ve just expressed concerns on the basis of what I’ve heard about the law. But I’m not in a position to say at this point, not having read the law, not having had the chance to interact with people are doing the review, exactly what my position is,” Mr. Holder told the House Judiciary Committee.
This weekend Mr. Holder told NBC’s “Meet the Press” program that the Arizona law “has the possibility of leading to racial profiling.” He had earlier called the law’s passage “unfortunate,” and questioned whether the law was unconstitutional because it tried to assume powers that may be reserved for the federal government.

Dinan reports in another Washington Times article that Holder is also reticent about pointing out that many of the attempted attacks on the US are easily blamed on radical Islam;
“There are a variety of reasons why people do these things. Some of them are potentially religious,” Mr. Holder told the committee Thursday, though he would not go further than saying people who hold radical views may have “had an ability to have an impact” on Faisal Shahzad, the man the Justice Department says tried to detonate a car bomb in Times Square.
“Potentially religious” is his escape hatch for the Left – so he can blame “right wing extremists” that don’t seem to be able to mount an attack in the last seventeen years. Holder is a coward who has been cowed by the political Left and his boss. The attorney general is supposed to act independently of politics and his boss – Holder can’t do that. He should resign before someone dies because of his incompetence.

Seems to me the ones who are most against the law are the ones least likely to have read or UNDERSTAND what SB 1070 says, or how it damn near MIRRORS existing federal law. But then again, why should the left let a little thing like facts get in the way of a good temper tantrum?
“Potentially Religious” Is that the new buzz phrase? He never even reviewed the law? You would think he might want to do that before coming down on one side or the other. This is the best and brightest this administration has. Geeze.
NHSparky,
Also, the one’s most against SB1070 are the ones most likely to be busted and deported.

I saw a comment today that I found particularly painful for the libtards, particularly those in Los Angeles, who just voted to boycott Arizona in any official business…didn’t Los Angeles (and California) vote BOTH in favor of Prop. 187 AND more recently Prop. 8? Won’t they have to boycott themselves now?
