Key words.....”when WE think it is appropriate.”
Sounds like they think they control the whole Government. I will be very interested to see how they repsond to this.
So we have a race war..a class war...and now a judicial war....”Division” is an understatment.

“We agree that the Courts may review laws when we think it is appropriate.” Astonishing.
Pabianice, I have looked at the Holder letter, and I do not see this line in it. But for the benefit of the doubt, could you point me to where it is?
I agree. And Obama knows there are some animals more equal than others too. Chicago style community organizing at work move along .Move along. He was being fully consistent with Marxist communist Or Nazi Brownshirt -or Islamic principles
that influenced him as a boy dreaming of a father who was just like him.
The third page of the requested three is mostly blank. I count that as two....fail
Or anywhere, for that matter. I’ve searched the internet for it, and nada.
Could this be a double reverse play on Obama’s part. Now if the Court rules against him he can counter any statements by Repubs that his signature accomplishment was struck down on constitutional grounds with insinuations that the Court did it out of revenge for is statements.
Nor do I. The closest is: "The Supreme Court has further explained that this power may only be exercised in appropriate cases . " Then a few sentences later Holder writes that "we have argued that this Court lacks jurisdiction to hear the case."
So the essence is true - that Obama and his henchmen feel the SCOTUS has no jurisdiction in this case, and as such, doesn't agree that it's appropriate for the court to rule on it.
His real friends and followers know that he despises the document and all it stands for. They are hoping for a second term of "reforming" America and saying goodbye to the documents of the wealthy white men, as Justice Sotomayor said.
Whoa, this guy is claiming to speak on behalf of the United States. It should more accurately have been said that the longstanding law OF the United States has been that the courts have power to review the constitutionality of Congressional laws, and strike down those that are not constitutional. His wording makes it seems like judicial review is a "position" of the US government, not an edict from the Supreme Court accepted by the other branches as correct. He is trying to make the courts seem inferior, and not part of "the government".
The remainder of the letter is unremarkable, except that I would throw it back in their faces when they try to claim that the Defense of Marriage Act is unconstituional. Further, it occurs to me that there should be a question of standing in that case. The President is sworn to uphold the laws of the United States, not attack. It should be up to someone impacted negatively to try to have it overturned, not someone sworn to uphold it.
When Holder and OB are out of office next year, I’ll send them a copy of the constitution for their leisure time reading.
they should have several copies available in the prison library no need to waste the postage
