We , as citizens , have the right to expect out Government to protect us from “enemies , foreign and domestic”.

As I understand it , Brian Terry was murdered 12 miles inside our border with Mexico, inside U.S. territory.

Headless and handless corpes have been found inside the U.S.
I believe that the current Federal Government administration isn’t adequately protecting us from enemies “foreign and domestic” as evidenced by these corpses, and therefore are subject to recall.

The right to protect ourselves comes from God , Himself , not from the “messiah “ in Washington.

That now empty prison in western Illinois would have to be expanded to hold all the criminals from this administration, even if they double them up. Isn’t there any stimulus money available for that?

I say running guns to Mexican drug cartels (who are affiliated with jihadists) and thereby abetting murder of a border agent and Mexicans killed by those guns, trumps Holder’s perjury problem.

I think when Holder told the Congress directly that voting rights protection laws apply to only to “his people” that would have been grounds for impeaching the criminally insane, racist AG.

Come to think of it, given his disgusting performance during the Clinton Administration, that would have been grounds or blocking his appointment in the first place.

the likes of which we haven't seen since the Nixon and Clinton years.

Did anybody get killed in any of Nixon's foibles?

If Mexico were to Formally issue Indictments against these Public Servants, the US is Bound by TREATY to Hand them Over.

Citation please.

BTW, this is not a lazy request. I've made a pretty fair effort over the years to be aware of extra-Constitutional treaty provisions and had not heard that any included the power to indict an officer of the US government.

It seems to me to be pretty far fetched, especially considering the lengths to which GWB went to "unsign" the ICC Treaty. So I am not asking for a simple citation (such as the name of the treaty) but the specific section and any examples you may have of it being enforced.

I know for a fact we have a Treaty with Mexico regarding Extradition, we just Extradited A worthless Movie Producer for Murder, I see no reason why Anybody would be exempt, especially when every aspect of their actions were LAWLESS and outside the boundaries of the law, which means EVERYTHING THEY DID WAS CRIMINAL IN NATURE from the Start. Since the Entire operation from start to finish was a Violation Of Numerous Laws in the US and Mexico, Felony Murder is ILLEGAL EVERYWHERE. I fail to see how exactly they could ever Claim Any Immunity, and I would think our Courts and Congress would be obliged to uphold their Extradition in light of everything we know, especially if Congress Referred the case to Mexico for Prosecution. One thing for sure it would be one hell of a show, and if CONGRESS were to step up to the plate it could happen very quickly, And a NEW CONGRESS with a New SPEAKER could force the issue overnight. A simple Law attached to one of Obamas pet projects would suffice. say There Shall be No Immunity of any Kind for any Person that has willfully Violated Any Laws for Any reason ever. Hell if that was just attached to a bill in Congress the Fireworks would start, and personally We the People should be DEMANDING IT.

In other words, you don't know, but you want it to be that way. Well, I want you to think what the world would be like if all a country had to do to throw another into turmoil is trump up charges and issue an indictment. That is why the country harboring a citizen charged with being a malefactor abroad still has a judicial process for deciding whether the charges are legitimate and if the crime is extraditable.

From Wikipedia:

Procedure for extradition from the United States

All extradition treaties currently in force require foreign requests for extradition to be submitted through diplomatic channels, usually from the country's embassy in Washington to the Department of State.[12] Many treaties also require that requests for provisional arrest be submitted through diplomatic channels, although some permit provisional arrest requests to be sent directly to the Department of Justice.[13] The Department of State reviews foreign extradition demands to identify any potential foreign policy problems and to ensure that there is a treaty in force between the United States and the country making the request, that the crime or crimes are extraditable offenses, and that the supporting documents are properly certified in accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 3190.[14] If the request is in proper order, an attorney in the State Department's Office of the Legal Adviser prepares a certificate attesting to the existence of the treaty, etc., and forwards it with the original request to the Justice Department's Office of International Affairs. ("OIAS") [15]

Once the OIA receives a foreign extradition request, it reviews the request for sufficiency and forwards appropriate ones to the United States Attorney's Office for the judicial district in which the fugitive is located. [16] The U.S. Attorney's office then obtains a warrant, and the fugitive is arrested and brought before the magistrate judge or the US district judge. [17] The government opposes bond in extradition cases.[18] Unless the fugitive waives his or her right to a hearing, the court will hold a hearing pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3184to determine whether the fugitive is extraditable.[19] If the court finds the fugitive to be extraditable, it enters an order of extraditability and certifies the record to the Secretary of State, who decides whether to surrender the fugitive to the requesting government.[20] OIA notifies the foreign government and arranges for the transfer of the fugitive to the agents appointed by the requesting country to receive him or her. Although the order following the extradition hearing is not appealable (by either the fugitive or the government), the fugitive may petition for a writ of habeas corpus as soon as the order is issued.[21] The district court's decision on the writ is subject to appeal, and the extradition may be stayed if the court so orders.[22]

In other words, you don't know what you're talking about and therefore your "ideas" will go nowhere.

Holder's actions deserve conviction for numerous felonies and incarceration for the rest of his life. Then the rest of the Obama Administration needs to be prosecuted and convicted.

Eric Holder is black - he will get away with this and nothing will happen.

Your words ring hollow, The meaning of “words” and “law” is changed regularly to suit those in power at the time, that is why marxist’s insist it is a “Living Constitution”, That is why our Judges Change the meaning of words so often, and what the law means, Nothing prevents us We The People from Redefining the Law and Words as we see fit , Using their own Logic against them of course. And no I don’t believe in the “living constitution “ theory, but since they insist, I say we use it Against them. So in other words, let me make it simple. The Law is Whatever the current makeup of the courts says it is depending on who is in charge.

Scooter Libby went to jail for not telling the complete truth about a contrived allegation that in itself was not true.”””

How are you supposed to ‘tell the truth’ about a contrived allegation????

No, Scooter Libby went to jail for contradicting Tim Russert. But then, one of the jurors said he wished Dick Cheney had been on trial so he could send him to jail forever. So it was obviously a fair trial.

Does anyone believe Holder's "boss" wasn't fully apprised of the whole matter?

Elements of the DOJ, DHS, FBI, DEA, ATF, ICE, BP, the State Dept. and even the IRS were involved. If 0bama didn't know anything about it then he is the most incompetent boob to ever sit in the 0val 0ffice. The sock puppet of all sock puppets.
