Eric Holder is at risk of becoming the WORST ATTORNEY GENERAL IN US HISTORY

From Netroots Nation:

Eric Holder is at risk of becoming the WORST ATTORNEY GENERAL IN US HISTORY. That's right. If he fails to right the wrongs, investigate the crimes that Gonzales perpetrated and allowed under his watch, and even allows Bush appointees to continue, and allows the prosecutorial misconduct engaged in under Bush to stand, Holder could go down in history as WORSE than Gonzales-- the worst Attorney General in American history. So far, he is on track for that designation. Someone on MSNBC should do a daily count on Holder and Obama, like Keith Olbermann does with the Iraq war, counting how many days Holder and Obama have still allowed the Rove-vetted, Bush appointed DOJ prosecuting attorneys to have their jobs. The counts should include updates on abuses by this batch of partisan abusers of democracy. Cyril Wecht suggested that since the Attorney General usually retains some of the appointees of the past president, Eric Holder should re-hire the 9 attorneys that were involved in the attorney firing scandal, because they refused to engage in partisan political prosecutions. Then Holder could fire ALL of the other Bush appointees. The crowd cheered at that suggestion. In my personal conversations with Wecht and Siegelman, they both repeatedly pointed out Obama's and Holder's failure to fire the Bush prosecutors who had bedeviled them with prosecutorial misconduct. We need to get these truly evil people out of positions of power. ... http://www.opednews.com/populum/diarypage.php?did=14068

even beats John Mitchell.
Those are tough standards to meet. No way Holder could meet it.

By the way, did anyone ever bother to tell you that the link in your sig line is broken? Not that they'd give a shit. Not that you'd give a shit. I certainly don't give a shit.

Something's wrong with this phone, I keep hearing a clicking sound.

the failure to do so does not raise him to the standard of malfeasance set by Gonzales and Ashcroft. Not even close.

because action should be taken against the felons, but because of what it bodes for the FUTURE of THIS NATION! One that looks the other way when HIGH CRIMES are perpetrated!!

I just don't understand why this isn't a BIGGER issue because it means so much!!!

If he allows them to continue to teach their law to others and/or to pervert the legal system as they thumb their nose at the laws of this nation, then yes - worse than Gonzales.

And the bush admin US attorneys need to be given their walking papers, too much damage has already been done - need to repair what we can and the only way to do that is to clean hose and try to purge the department of the partisans.

Just screaming an idiotic headline to get attention (admittedly Holder is an idiot) is not the way to make a good argument.

wingnut, fundie lawyers that have been secreted on every level of the DOJ. So far he has spent most of his time making gaffs during press conferences and getting crooked republican politicians off the hook.

Attorney General. He will be the best.

Here's a painting by BOTticelli. It's pretty good.

You can't support "justice" by ignoring crime . .. simply because the crime was

committed by government officials!!!

Here's a clue, though. Paragraph breaks are your friend.
