Eric Holder describes his belief that district attorneys don’t have to enforce any laws they disagree with.
The law is such an inconvenient thing: Eric Holder describes his belief that district attorneys don’t have to enforce any laws they disagree with.
Holder’s real goal? Make the law less inconvenient so he and others in power can wield more power over everyone else. That goal is also shared by Obama as well as a large percentage of the politicians in DC from both parties. See for example this article about a man I disagree with strongly on many issues but who I know is totally on my side on this issue.
Readers!
My annual February birthday fund-raising drive for Behind the Black is now over. Thank you to everyone who donated or subscribed. While not a record-setter, the donations were more than sufficient and slightly above average.
As I have said many times before, I can’t express what it means to me to get such support, especially as no one is required to pay anything to read my work. Thank you all again!
For those readers who like my work here at Behind the Black and haven't contributed so far, please consider donating or subscribing. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

“Eric Holder describes his belief that district attorneys don’t have to enforce any laws they disagree with.”
Perhaps Mr. Holder can explain why I should have to follow any laws I happen to disagree with.
I would argue that obeying the law is an ipso facto enforcement of it. If the senior law enforcement officers in a given jurisdiction can’t be bothered to enforce the law, why should the citizenry be held to a higher standard?
If I were being tried for some crime, I’d be tempted to argue that the law I was accused of violating is senseless & discriminatory & should not be applied in my case – in fact, it should not be enforced. When the Justice objects to this line of argument, I’d reply that the very man tasked with seeing that laws are faithfully executed, the Atty Gen’l of the U.S (Holder) & his boss, (small-p) pResident Obama, are refusing to enforce any number of laws already on the books & that With-Holder has decreed that State Attorneys General don’t have to enforce any law they don’t agree with. Since I don’t agree with the law I’m charged of violating, that should not be enforced either. I would ask the Justice how it is that ANY U.S. Law has any meaning whatsoever when it can be ignored or overturned without any input from the legislature, which makes & passes these laws?
