[quote=Anonymous]Seriously OP. Eric Holder is a conservative prosecutor's dream. Not since Richard Thornburgh under Reagan has the DOJ been under a more insanely conservative helm. He has has taken the DOJ backwards towards almost a pre-Miranda environment of police powers of interrogation and surveillance. You may not know this but traditionally, Attorneys Generals appointed by Dems have been pro-human rights and they would bring cases against states and individuals for infringing on federally protected civil rights--they would also attack criminal enterpriseses for tax violation under RICO statutes, etc...But Holder?! Holder runs the DOJ like a staunch Republican. Civil rights cases have slowed to a crawl--the DOJ actually now brings cases to federal court seeking to BROADEN police powers and fill the prisons with more inmates than ever. Miranda has never been weaker. I find it so perplexing that no one takes him to task for this--I think as a black appointee under a Dem prez, people just assume he's a liberal--he is anything but...but then neither is Obama for that matter.
