I wish he had a few more failures... and a few less scandalous abuses of federal power...

I was going to ask why are you yelling, but it appears you just copied and pasted the title from the article.

Please explain how any further gun control stops a crazy kid from murdering his mother, stealing her legally owned guns and going on a killing spree?

Please, explain.

The true failure is that Holder isnt sitting in jail at this very moment.

That just sounds funny. He really has never had that ability. Only legislatures do.

Someone needs a middle school civics lesson on the three branches of government.

I didn't know that crafting and enacting legislation was a function of the Department of Justice.

So he is sad about failing to suppress freedom.

What a totalitarian mindset.

Yeah, I was coming here to ask why Holder thought it was his job to get gun control laws passed.

Do Liberals understand the first thing about how our government is actually supposed to work? It seems that they only care about social engineering for their desired outcomes and they use whatever position of power that they can attain at any level of society to implement their vision of what the society should look like. It is really ridiculous.

What if we had a president who ran partially on the platform of executing and enforcing the laws of the land as passed by Congress? What if we had a president who really sought to restore Constitutional power to Congress and who pledged to work with the Congress in enforcing their laws? What if he ran on a Constitutional platform and educated the American people as to what the Constitution actually said and pledged to bring that balance back to our government?

If only we could get a Constitutional Law professor to run for president. That would be fantastic.

The fact that the former Attorney General considers something that is outside the scope of his job as his biggest failure says everything about what we have been dealing with not only with Holder, but with the Obama administration in general.

Quick show of dancing bananas if you'd like to uppercut Eric Holder into a pit of spikes, Mortal Kombat style?

The Attorney General is the head law enforcement officer.....not a law creator.

So Holder regrets not being a representative or Senator or does he regret not being the edict-in-chief?

Other than F&F I would say one of his greatest achievements is his giving a pass to the New Black Panther Party.

He's also mastered the fine art of rushing to judgement, exploiting tense situations racial in nature, and he writes a helluva pardon for sleazy Democrat donors.

And let's not forget the his Ob/Gyn wife, doesn't take Medicaid.

A prince of a fella.
