Eric Holder is the Attorney General of the United States;  The chief law enforcement officer.  He is appointed by the Executive Branch, the President of the United States, and constitutionally required to “enforce the laws within the nation”.

The Legislative Branch passes laws.  ==> The Executive Branch enforces laws. ==>  The Judicial Branch evaluates laws.   That’s how this whole ‘giddy up’ we call the United States Constitutional Republic is set up to work.

The Executive Branch enforces laws –   The Executive Branch, President Obama, uses the Department of Justice to execute that federally required job responsibility.    That simply means that the AG, Eric Holder, is the primary “enforcer” of the processes to insure the laws on the national legislative books are followed.

In a splashy, dramatic and well choreographed press conference, the Canadian government announced that it has two men in custody in the VIA rail alleged bomb plot, while the FBI is holding a third suspect in New York.  The US media has not investigated nor released any information about the mystery “third suspect” in custody in New York city.

The National Post has determined that the Jaser family created a highly suspect and unbelievable claim of “victimhood” while in Germany (a safe country), alleging that Molotov cocktails were thrown by racists at the family’s apartment, forcing them to “flee” Germany.  These claims were never proven true, and Germany is host to a large population of well protected and state supported Muslims.  In any event, the Jaser family flew to Canada in 1993 on fake passports to claim refugee status and asylum.  Their bogus refugee claim was rejected, but by exploiting the Prog doctrine of sympathy for the fictional and non-existent “Palestinian state”, the Jasers were able to convince an adjudicator that they were “stateless” and had no where to go.

National Post investigates Raed Jaser Family History

Although it was clear that the family had safe haven in Germany and there was no need to “flee” to Canada, several intelligence sources have speculated that the family sought a location in close proximity to the US.

The other VIA Rail bombing suspect in custody, Chiheb Esseghaier, a doctoral student at INRS, a well regarded and federally funded research facility affiliated with the University of Quebec,  was described by other tenants in his residential building as the “neighbor from hell”.  It is clear from independent reports of those who lived close to him that he had difficulty integrating into Canadian culture and appeared to have significant mental health issues.  The concierge at his building described him as a “deeply religious man”.  In spite of numerous warning flags, and being monitored by the Canadian security agencies,  Esseghaier was granted permanent residency status.

Read more about “Esseghaier would scream like a maniac at all hours”.

Both men were able to exploit loopholes in the existing immigration and “refugee asylum” system in Canada to seek shelter in major cities close to the US border, in spite of ample warnings and red flags about the security risk they posed.

The FBI works for, and falls under the authority of, the Federal Department of Justice, Eric Holder.   Which brings in a strange series of questions regarding the stoppage of questioning by the FBI of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.   Megyn Kelly outlines the initial issue:

Initially the feds proclaimed Tsarnaev would fall under the “public safety exception to miranda” which would have given them 48 hours to question him prior to the delivery of Miranda protection.   The feds didn’t even need to charge him with anything right away – but they did.   In addition, something, obviously unexpected by the FBI interrogators, was changed.  Who changed it? Why? and why was the FBI not notified of the intent to change direction?

Boston AP [excerpt] … Once Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was read his rights on Monday, he immediately stopped talking, according to four officials of both political parties who were briefed on the interrogation but insisted on anonymity because the briefing was private. (more…)

This is a story about consequences, progressive consequences, once again on full display.

In Maryland Political Correctness runs rampant throughout the state. You might remember it was Maryland:

• …who instituted the quota system of race-based school discipline under the guise of “Adverse Impact”.
• …where the kid who chewed the pop tart into the shape of a gun was suspended.
• …where the school confiscated cupcakes because they were adorned with plastic soldiers.
• …where the flash mob hit the convenience store and police refused prosecution.

Carrying that same “Maryland Sense” forward – This is yet another level to the visibility of what happens when you remove historical common sense from the Criminal Justice System, specifically in Prison Correction.

To be PC, and avoid contemporaneous race-driven query, the Maryland State Corrections System put Black Female officers in charge of Black Male inmates. Here’s what happened: (more…)

A fitting tribute today to memorialize the lost lives from the West Texas fertilizer plan explosion last week.   Thankfully President Obama attended the service and represented our nation in sending a nation’s prayers.

I’ll bust his chops when President Obama selfishly manuevers his activity based on ideological advancement;  But he should also be praised on this one for a fitting tribute to an American community in painful grief.   Well done Mr. President – and Thank You.

TEXAS –  President Barack Obama told mourners at an  emotional memorial service for victims of a Texas plant explosion that their  community is not alone at this time of great tragedy.

With a dozen flag-draped coffins of before  him, Obama said: ‘We’re neighbors too. We’re American too, we stand with you and  we do not forget.’ (more…)

Hat Tip WeaselZippers:   DUBAI –  An off-duty U.S. navy sailor wrestled a Dubai bus driver to the ground and beat him into submission after he tried to rape her at knifepoint on Jan. 19, a courtroom heard Wednesday.

The woman, 28, was on 24-hour shore leave in Dubai when she was attacked by a bus driver after he picked her up from the Mall of the Emirates shopping center.

“I noticed he did not take the main road and when I asked him he told me not to worry,” she said, according to the Daily Mail. (more…)

Oh, something is definately afoot with this one.   One would surmise, based on historical precendent, that something was about to be revealed the *administration* views as a risk to Progressive Advancement.  [more after article]

BOSTON, MA –  Regular viewers of Fox News are used to seeing popular host Megyn Kelly on their televisions every afternoon, but on Thursday morning Kelly made a special appearance during the morning to break some surprising information: according to her sources, the FBI was “shocked” to see a magistrate “waltz into” the hospital room of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and read him his Miranda rights.

So why were they shocked? According to Kelly, the FBI was under the understanding that they would get much more time with Tsarnaev under the “public safety exemption” before he was read his rights. Adding to the shock: the sources told Kelly agents were getting crucial information after only 16 hours of questioning and were making valuable progress. […] (more…)

Florida Attorney General, and friend of Benjamin Crump, {{*INSERT LOUD CONFLICT OF INTEREST FLAG HERE}}  Pam Bondi, has filed the State’s response to the Defense request for a Writ of Certiorari surrounding deposition of Martin family attorney, Benjamin Crump.

AG Pam Bondi has previously outlined, at great length -and effort for political capital-  her close personal friendship with Benjamin Crump.   During the Martin Lee Anderson Case Pam Bondi worked as prosecutor on behalf of the State of Florida, while Ben Crump was family attorney for the Andersons.

In addition, current special prosecutor, Angela Corey, was a campaign manager and advocate for Pam Bondi during Bondi’s 2010 campaign for Attorney General.

Here is the response pleading filed with the 10th District Court of Appeals: (more…)

Under the premise expressed by Law Enforcement of “exigent circumstances” the U.S. Constitution’s 4th amendment deserves a revisit.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.  [Fourth Amendment – U.S. Constitution] 

The Fourth Amendment (Amendment IV) to the United States Constitution is the part of the Bill of Rights which guards against unreasonable searches and seizures, along with requiring any warrant to be judicially sanctioned and supported by probable cause. It was adopted as a response to the abuse of the writ of assistance, which is a type of general search warrant, in the American Revolution. Search and seizure (including arrest) should be limited in scope according to specific information supplied to the issuing court, usually by a law enforcement officer, who has sworn by it. The Fourth Amendment applies to the states by way of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. (more…)

Floyd Corkins, the shooter who attempted a mass killing at the Family Research Council at the ideological behest of the SPLC, is on trial.    The government said, in making its recommendation  for 45 years in prison, that if not for the security guard’s actions, Corkins ‘would have almost  certainly succeeded in committing a massacre of epic portions.’

(Via Daily Mail) The sandwich-heavy contents of his backpack may look amusing, but government prosecutors are demanding that the Virginia man who attempted a killing spree at the Family Research Council last year deserves a 45 year sentence.

Floyd Corkins II entered the the Washington headquarters of the conservative Christian lobbying group in August with nearly 100 rounds of ammunition and 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches stuffed in his bag as part of an elaborate plan to shoot as many people as possible. (more…)
