Last January, several Republican legal stars wrote a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee supporting Eric Holder's nomination to be attorney general. Now, in light of Holder's decision to grant 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed full American constitutional rights and try him in federal court in New York, some of those veteran lawyers are having second thoughts.
The January letter called Holder an "extraordinary lawyer" of "unfailing integrity" who is "superbly qualified" to lead the Justice Department and whose appointment as the first African-American attorney general "should be hailed as a milestone." "From his experience Eric fully understands and appreciates the constant threat posed by al Qaeda and Islamic extremists," the GOP lawyers wrote. "[He] is the right man at the right time to protect our citizens in the critical years ahead."

It’s too late now for all of those who have rejected common sense.
Victoria also. i am astounded at their naivete, because it’s completely out of character for them. is it perhaps knowing these guys personally that blinds them to their most glaring attributes?
LOL!
Lap dog!
Holder was behind the Mark Rich and the FALN terrorists Pardons....he is BAD, BAD NEws.....guess because he's BLACK he gets a pass for horrible judgement.
They are fools, know nothing nitwits.
Oh please...This was Obama’s decision....Let’s not be naive...
Wrote Former Fl Senator Martinez about this guy. His comment, I see nothing in his record that would cause me to vote against him. My follow up letter said if he could find nothing wrong with Holder’s background, he was a ball lost in the high weeds and furthermore if he was leaving office, why wait. Guess he took that advice and left, at least I like to think that.
Their protests are a tad too late...they've done their damage.
Precisely why the Republican Rinos are not in control.
Holder didn’t call the shot on this one OBAMA calls all the shots !!
Holder’s a Communist! Plain and simple! Anyone who didn’t know that and supported him should be......I’m sure you can guess what they should be!
RINO!
The word you’re looking for is RINO!
Gotta get rid of them whenever possible because they will STAB YOU IN THE BACK whenever they get a chance.
This act by the GOP reach-arounders is getting old. They trip over their own feet running to support liberal fascist nominees, then after being so bipartisan, they have "second thoughts". Republicans don't even vet their own candidates: Earl Warren, David Souter, Sandra Day O'Commie, Anthony Kennedy, Doris What's-Her-Name . . . Get. Rid. Of. The. G.O.P.
"Hello everyone. My name is Joseph DiGenova and I am addicted to enabling leftists, socialists, race pimps, America Haters and other despicable life forms."
.
Anyone have the names of those GOP Senators who supported Holder?
Any republican who didn’t know who Holder was and what kind of person he is before confirmation has been asleep for the last 16 years.
Rejecting Holder was a no-brainer.
So true! The most unforgivable sin in today's PC world is to criticize a black person.
The biggest mistake most of the misguided, deluded Pubbies supporting Holder and other Obama appointees are making is believing that radicals are capable of rational decisions. Each and every single thing the Obama admin does is guided by their leftist mindset. In short, there is no chance for rational decisions.
