Eric Holder's Letter to the Court Misses Point
By Tara Dodrill | Yahoo! Contributor Network – 18 hrs ago

The fact that President Barack Obama was once a constitutional law professor and yet has virtually no understanding or respect for the nation's founding document is mind-boggling.

His comments earlier this week warning the court not to engage in judicial activism was nothing more than hubris. The angry judges demanded a response from Attorney General Eric Holder to determine if the Obama administration believes the court has the power to overturn laws. The controversial attorney general finally drafted the mandated three-page response, but the damage to the administration's reputation was already done, says Fox News.

**SNIP**

Although Holder's letter stated that the court's power is "beyond dispute," he also wrote that laws passed by Congress are "presumptively constitutional," Fox News reports.

When freepers first looked into the lost license, It was noted that they time from Michelle's graduation and when the license suspended would be about the same amount of time that would encompass her taking the law exams, failing,waiting to retake, fail again etc. etc. etc.

You can go to college using Affirmative Action. While in college AA provides tutors etc to help you graduate. BUT AA will not help you pass the bar exam.

Just a thought.

$100 contribution to the RNC if they’d make themselves useful - for once - and uncover and release Obama law school Transcripts.

The ‘Rats would have Herman-Cained Obama’s college transcript-coverup and “secrecy” LONG ago - if he were an R not a D.

Get on it RNC we want to see leaked transcripts — by MONDAY.

Thanks for the info. I had cut and pasted quite a bit of information on Ovomit’s and Mrs. Ovomit’s lack luster law careers, and the details of how they lost their licenses, but I think it was lost during my last hard drive upgrade. ...If this clown ran as a Republican, he would be crucified by the left’s media.

I wouldn’t have read it either ,, no point to it as everything is “as the secretary will determine...” ,, there’s no “there” there to judge anything ... and as it is as solid as jello it cannot be presumed to be anything...

Oh, I don't know .... I'd imagine that Ovomit, being of counsel to the ACORN people in the New York redlining case, was at least able to pay back his law-school student loans (unless he was on a full-ticket ride from Saudi .... in which case it was all gravy, unless he tipped-out to the Umma in gratitude). And then there was the Shirley Sherrod black-farmer lawsuitfraud, in which he had to have cleaned up very nicely (and if he was smart, smuggled a couple of mill down to Vonaire or Grand Cayman).

So I should think his law degree was an afterthought after his score, esp. considering that he was being groomed for Great Things.
