“In particular, they question Holders role in President Clintons 2001 pardon of fugitive financier Marc Rich as well as Holders involvement in Clintons 1999 decision to grant clemency to 16 violent Puerto Rican nationalists.”
ROADBLOCK????

"Republicans have arranged for Joseph F. Connor, whose father was killed in the Jan. 24, 1975, bombing of Fraunces Tavern in New York City, to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee as it considers Holders nomination."
Good idea.

I am actually surprised by the almost complete lack of interest here on FR about holder. He is a anti-gun Clinton dirt bag from way back.

I don’t see this working, to be honest.
The GOP needs to go after the Sec of Treasury nominee.

I’m interested to see where this nomination goes but what I’m waiting for is O’s appointment of a new F.B.I director. You have to know that there’s no way he’s keeping Muller. Is this where Gorelick will wind up?

The Republicans are powerless. All they can do is grandstand and mope. They cannot stop this or anyone else’s nomination from being approved.............

Its pretty clear Holder got some of the same grease the Clintons got from the Mark Rich deal. There's no telling how Holder and the Clintons made out from the PR terrorists.
To: mad_as_he$$
I am very concerned and have stated so... but FR is being overrun with liberal philosophy today... there is an abundance of “go along to get along” infecting us these days. We even have some FReepers embracing socialist agendas because they are "good" for the people.

If the republicans in congress had a set they could eliminate a number of these cabinet people. Geithner, Holder, Daschle for his lobby ties, Browner.
What a ship of fools. (the cabinet appointees -— actually the Republicans also.)

The only way to stop Holder is to raise a big stink, which the republicans will not do for fear of being called racists.....

We have to beat the Republicans before we have a hope of beating the Democrats.

It seems that a LOT of Obama’s nominees have shady dealings in their past.

Of course, when you are a lightweight political hack from the Daly chicago machine, it was inevitable.
Pity McLame didn’t have the gonads to talk about it.

I wrote both my Senators about my opposition to Holder. I can’t wait to see Hatch’s reply, particularly after reading his pathetic reply to my support for clemency for a couple of Border Patrol agents.

I want the testimony on the record. Pound him with it every time we get a chance.
To: mad_as_he$$
It's pretty much assumed that with a Rat-controlled Senate, Barry will get all of his nominees. But if we concentrate on one or two weak nominees (Richardson certainly would have been one of them), we can cause some early embarrassment for Zero. Holder's the next best candidate for such treatment, but he's going to get in anyway.

If the Republicans raise too much of a stink, the chairman will have their remarks stricken from the record, and they will be banned from the hearings. The chairman can declare a question “Not Allowed” and the Republicans cannot do a thing............
