Another Corrupt Unethical Example Of This Administration

In his confirmation last year, Attorney General Eric Holder failed to notify the Senate that he had signed several briefs urging courts to reject President George W. Bush’s claim that he had the power to imprison an American citizen as an “enemy combatant,” the Justice Department acknowledged Thursday.

Matthew Miller, a Justice Department spokesman said, “The briefs should have been disclosed as part of the confirmation process.” In preparing thousands of pages for submission, it was unfortunately and inadvertently missed. In any event, the attorney general has publicly discussed his positions on detention policy on many occasions, including at his confirmation hearing.”

“Are we expected to believe that then-nominee Holder, with only a handful of Supreme Court briefs to his name, forgot about his role in one of this country’s most publicized terrorism cases?” asked Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ).

Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL), said the opinions in the briefs “go to the heart of his responsibilities in matters of national security. This is an extremely serious matter and the Attorney General will have to address it.”

“The briefs should have been disclosed as part of the confirmation process,” said Matthew Miller, a Justice Department spokesman. “In preparing thousands of pages for submission, it was unfortunately and inadvertently missed. In any event, the attorney general has publicly discussed his positions on detention policy on many occasions, including at his confirmation hearing.” 

 President Bush designated Jose Padilla, an American citizen who had been arrested in Chicago in 2002 and accused of planning an attack for Al Qaeda an enemy combatant. He had him placed in military custody, cut off his access to a lawyer and declared he could imprison him indefinitely for the purpose of interrogation, without judicial review. Holder signed a brief that the policy was illegal, arguing that “our nation has always been prepared to accept some risk as the price of guaranteeing that the executive does not have arbitrary power to imprison citizens.”

Why didn’t Holder report the briefs to the Supreme Court?  Was he hiding his total disregard for Americans safety?  WE have seen plenty of that from Holder.  We can start with the release of American terrorists that he orchestrated while working for Bill Clinton.  We have seen his total insensitivity and non caring about Americans safety from terrorists. Holder is one more corrupt unethical Obama appointee.  They follow in the footsteps of the unethical corrupt Obama.
