I can't remember the last one that wasn't. Reno and Ashcr*ft were just as controversial as Holder.

Geez...John Ashcr*ft's name is bleeped out too? Damn.

Default nothing controversial about Holder!

"An Attorney General Should Not Be Controversial"

The USAG should also appear competent and not have a pattern of saying stupid things.

There is absolutely nothing controversial about Holder!

The man is a blithering idiot who does not have the qualifications to hold that office. No argument there, so no controversy.

And this is why there'll never be a non-controversial AG: If there isn't a controversy, one will damn well be invented.

It's not the "federal government" that wants anything, it is the Obama administration and the Democrats. There are plenty of conservatives in government who want voter ID.

So according to you Democrats want to prevent unneccesary obstacles to voting, such as actually showing that you are a citizen eligible to vote. That's a top concern. But apparently even though it's rather important in a representative form of government, they aren't concerned with ensuring it is done without fraud.

Also funny how they aren't opposed to having to show ID to get a job. They're gung ho about making it easy for them to vote, but making it easy for them to earn a living? Not so much.

They also should not lie under oath, block investigations into criminal activity, refuse to uphold the law, or violate the Constitution. Check, check, chekc, check...

Can you prove that widespread voter fraud has occurred?

But - don't you see? The fact that there's so little evidence of voter fraud proves that they're being successful fraudsters!

Which Black Panthers would that be or do you mean New Black Panthers. In that case they did not get off "scott free", in fact they were punished more severely then others whose transgressions were far worse, who were not prosecuted at all.

Absolutely wrong. There's a reason why the Attorney General is appointed by the president, and not a protected civil servant position.
