Eric Holder To State Attorneys General: You Don't Have to Enforce Laws You Disagree With

Attorney General Eric Holder is taking the lawless attitude of the Obama administration and passing it down to state attorneys general. Yesterday during an interview with The New York Times, Holder said state attorneys general do not have to enforce laws they disagree with, specifically when it comes to the issue of gay marriage.

It is highly unusual for the United States attorney general to advise his state counterparts on how and when to refuse to defend state laws. But Mr. Holder said when laws touch on core constitutional issues like equal protection, an attorney general should apply the highest level of scrutiny before reaching a decision on whether to defend it. He said the decision should never be political or based on policy objections.

Holder said state attorneys general do not have to enforce laws they disagree with

Really? They swear an oath as a condition of being able to hold their respective offices that they will.

Well that opens the voter id laws right back up, doesn’t it?

Civil wars have started for much less.

[Jim Robinson]

This scummy SOB needs to be impeached! Along with his scummy boss.

[P-Marlowe]

I don’t like the tax laws.

[Ray76]

Hey we don’t have to obey laws we disagree with. Take Obamacare for instance.

In fact, we can’t wait. If Congress won’t act to control the border, we will.

Howzat?

I’m just getting started.

Bull. Eric Holder is just saying that to try and draw done the guard of the states. At some point, once the tyrannists have everything in place, they will go to war with the states to get their laws enforced.
