… If a public official breaks his oath to the Constitution, what is the remedy? …

In Holders case, congressional inquiry would come first. Followed with legal action where appropriate. As an example, search for ‘John Mitchell Atty general’

Is it possible there is a connection between the Frank and Reid attacks on the supreme court, and the ongoing abuse of the constitution by the democrats? Somehow, I dont think it is a simple accident that they were mentioned last week.

Can I make a citizen’s arrest and kick him in the ballz?

Because, you know, they didn’t say what he wanted to hear on the issue of representation of the District of Columbia in the House of Representatives. Justice Department lawyers concluded in an unpublished opinion earlier this year that the historic……

PEOPLE! Learn this if you learn NOTHING else today…THE FIRST PRINCIPLE OF PROPAGANDA.
People will believe a lie if:
A; those people are AFRAID what is said is true
B; those people WANT what is said to be true

An example is the propaganda that large numbers of firearms are being smuggled INTO Mexico from the U.S.
This is a lie, it’s false, the is absolutely NO proof and even the BATF admits they have NO proof this is happening. This is propaganda by Holder and Napalitano, the BATF and the entire Obama Administration to enact legislatation and policy to deride the 2nd Amendment. Furthermore, anyone with experience in firearms KNOWS that fully automatic weapons have largely been illegal in the U.S. since 1934, sell on the black market in the U.S. for well over $10,000 yet sell in Mexico for a few HUNDRED dollars and that Hezbollah, Venezuela and the Chinese are involved with funelling firearms to Mexican Cartels.
Even Newt Gingrich has swallowed the koolaid of this Obama Administration propaganda because he “FEARS” it might be true.

You can’t be serious.

That was a real proud moment in American history. Some clown in battle dress breaking down a door and brandishing a gun at a seven year old.

A mother dies to get her son to freedom and Holder throws him back to a communist hell hole.

How exactly does that equate with a known terrorist organization, operating outside the rules of armed conflict, kidnapping a soldier from a military operating within the rules of armed conflict, for ransom?

Quite serious.

When Elian was rescued, he was a foreign national AND a minor child. He had no right to be in this country even under that idiotic wet foot dry foot policy.

Upon arriving in this country as an undocumented and incompetent person, he “belonged” to INS. Only INS had authority to deal with him and to care for him. INS behaved responsibly by “paroling” him to known blood relatives in South Florida. So far so good.

Then shyster attorneys frivolously filed legal documents in Florida state courts under state statutes because they knew that the end result was ordained by federal law – he must be returned as soon as his only parent demanded it. They should all have been disbarred, in my opinion.

The idiot judges in state court never addressed the first question every court must address – jurisdiction. The court had jurisdiction to make custody decisions but the party petitioning the court had no standing to be there asking for relief. (Note – we fought a war over standing. It’s commonly called the Civil War.)

As the charade circus was playing out in state court, the federal government (INS and State) was quietly trying to resolve the problem with a government with which we have no diplomatic relations. Cuba’s sovereign demand was simple – return Elian immediately. Pragmatically, Castro understood that we could simply refuse and he would be powerless to do anything but bitch. So his diplomats were willing to allow us to “interview” Papa Gonzalez regarding any desire to seek asylum. He said no, I just want my boy and I want to go home.

Then when Reno told the Florida relatives that they had to give up Elian, they not only refused but they organized a rebellion. The drama went on for weeks while Reno tried to avoid using force (mainly because she had the ghost of Waco on her). The Florida relatives were firm – Reno would have to take him. So she did.

The SWAT team tactics were in direct response to veiled threats of violence should a effort be made to take Elian.

I said at the time that Elian was actually a stealth agent programmed by us and openly sent back to a closed society. As such, he was likely to be a future leader of Cuba after Castro dies and that he would not forget the single most important thing in any male child’s mind – being with daddy.

I said he would never forget that the United States honored his right to be with his father over the United States’ desire to beat Castro.

I stand by my views.

You can’t be serious.

That was a real proud moment in American history. Some clown in battle dress breaking down a door and brandishing aiming a loaded gun, with his finger on the trigger, directly at a seven year old.

Fixed that for ya, NoDonkey.

And I agree with you. But maybe platypus wasn’t serious. He couldn’t have been.

Holder’s attitude toward D.C. is roughly the same as his attitude toward the Second Amendment, Heller Vs. D.C. be d*****d. He will do as he pleases- and as the One bids.

Which reminds me of this;

Fury said to a mouse,
That he met in the house,
“Let us both go to law:
I will prosecute YOU.
— Come, I’ll take no denial:
We must have a trial:
for really this morning
I have nothing to do.”

“I’ll be judge, I’ll be jury,”
Said cunning old Fury,
“I’ll try the whole cause,
and condemn you to death.”

-Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll, chapter III

After all, he got away with it for eight years the first time around.

It makes one wonder, too, why Senators would be more beholden to party interests than to guaranteeing the integrity and sovereignty of their respective States. Oh right, we gave up that possibility with the constitutional amendment for their direct election. No wonder!

If Elian had not been returned, there would be hardly any difference between us and Hamas with that Israeli soldier.

This is the jackass who presided over an armed effort to break into a house and then seize a young boy from his family, only to hand him over to a dictator’s thugs.

That was the one time when Holder actually followed both the constitution and the law. If Elian had not been returned, there would be hardly any difference between us and Hamas with that Israeli soldier.

Holder is loyal to The One. Give him enough money and he’ll prosecute and defend the same case.

If the Attorney General was about merit and not about being a black Democrat political hack, we’d have a real attorney general and Holder would have his stupid face plastered on a phone book, above the words “Hurt in an Accident – Call Attorney Eric Holder!”

I’m curious; Ed’s been writing a BUNCH of stuff, every day, for quite a few years, much of it during the Bush administration. If what you say is true, surely there must be some instance when Ed promoted legislation that had been authoritatively judged unconstitutional.

So can you find an example of this? Or are you just trying to rationalize Holder’s (and indeed the entire Obama administration’s) flouting of the Constitution?

Other Presidents open the door. Obama’s widening it and make double doors all around!
