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.
Engaging in that process and making that determination is something thats appropriate for an attorney general to do, Mr. Holder said.
In 2011, the Obama administration announced attorneys in the Department of Justice would not enforce the Defense of Marriage Act, which was later struck down in 2013 by the Supreme Court.

That also means, you don’t have to obey laws you disagree with.
So much for the OATH of OFFICE either/both of took upon taking office.
They are both frauds & were from the first jump.
“REPARATIONS” come in many different packages.
Without the recognition of the “Rule of Law” we have no government at all.
And in large measure we do not: we have a government by dictat. [ I have a pen I have a phone...]
Like the officials who should have been prosecuted in his own oversight departments,who sold weapons as in Fast and Furious.
Unrestricted 2nd amendment too!
I wonder if this applies to same sex marriage and guns. Oh, but I bet that Holder has to agree with your opinion for it to be a legitimate change.
Eric Holder: Ironically, the champion of states’ rights.
I just wonder if he realizes it.

Isn’t this anarchy when even the officers of the law don’t obey it.
When is the congress going to impeach this guy?
In civics class we were taught “America is a Nation of Laws”
not just obey the ones you like.

Thank you Orin Hatch.
See, there’s the rub. The government (those in it) are showing a blatant disregard for the law as written. They are frankly open about it.
But, they know they have the decency of the law abiding on “the other side” that will not reciprocate.
There will come a time, though, when the law abiding are going to recognize that the actions of those in power are without legitimate authority and act accordingly.
Yes, the gov’t has the legal ability to use deadly force to impose its will, but if that use of force is not founded in legitimacy, it is simply thuggery, and the people have a right to defend themselves from thuggery.
I have had many liberals accuse me of being an anarchist because I oppose big government when the truth of the matter is that the titular head of the Rat Party, Obama himself, and all of his minions are preaching a lawless government that only executes laws that they find useful. When the government no longer feels the obligation to enforce the laws, then the citizens have no need to obey them.
Thank you for removing the fog a bit.....

Why pass any laws at all if enforcement is optional?
Think selective enforcement..........
