From Investors Business Daily:
Stumbling from one gaffe to another and showing little appreciation for our Constitution, Attorney General Eric Holder has become a major embarrassment. Time to admit he’s in over his head and let him go.
We were never big fans of the AG, but like many others, we had hoped our misgivings were wrong and that he’d be successful as the nation’s top law enforcement officer. Sorry to say, he hasn’t been.
Events in recent days and weeks show that Holder has little if any understanding of our nation’s most precious asset, the Constitution, and seems oblivious to the actual requirements of his job.
Holder does not understand – or refuses to see – the nature of the Islamo-fascist threat. He refuses to enforce the law against people who intimidate voters as the polls. He slams State laws he hasn’t even read. The man is either a complete fool, or just a blinded, leftist ideologue – in other case, he isn’t fit to be Attorney General.
During the Clinton Administration we were struck with Janet Reno – she, too, was unfit to be Attorney General, but then again we never really tried to force the issue. We can’t afford another such incompetent person at the head of national law enforcement. We must insist that Holder be replaced – and if Obama won’t do it now, then we might be able to exercise increased pressure in January.
Our nation and the enforcement of our laws are too important to be left to a man as out of touch as Holder. Hopefully, Obama will soon realize that Holder is becoming a political liability and will fire him. But we can’t count on that – Obama might, for all we know, think that Holder is doing a splendid job. This is why we Republicans must press President on this matter, lest Obama go on thinking that all is well.
