A Chequer-Board of Nights and Days

The Serial Pardon Advocate

Between the Marc Rich pardon and that of FALN terrorists, the question isn't whether Eric Holder ought to be denied confirmation as the next Attorney-General. The question is why this nomination should be allowed to last even one more day and why the President-elect has not yet pulled the plug on it.

Don't believe me? Then read this. As Andy McCarthy notes:

We've heard a lot the last few years from Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats about how shameful it is for an Attorney General to "politicize" the Justice Department; to buck the views of professional, career prosecutors; and to engage in "secrecy" by withholding from Congress the administration's deliberations on important policy matters.  Were they serious?

Well? Were they?
