John Fund: The Injustice Of Eric Holder

A travesty of justice personified.    Even we were shocked when we researched our new book, “Obama’s Enforcer: Eric Holder’s Justice Department,” at the extent to which Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. has politicized the Justice Department and put the interests of left-wing ideology and his political party ahead of the fair and impartial    ...

The IRS Scandal And The Politicization Of Justice

by Hans von Spakovsky and John Fund.       If you want a good illustration of how Attorney General Eric Holder has politicized the Justice Department and its prosecutorial decision-making, all you have to do is look at what Justice has not done in just one part of the IRS scandal.

Edward Cline: Obama's Middle Finger To America

Hoping to change America's founding principles.      From day one in his first term of office, President Barack Obama has given America his middle finger. I’m surprised so many people haven’t noticed it. Here’s a State of the Union address he’d never dare make, but I’m sure he would like to, just to let his hair down. It would probably be written by  ... MORE

Thomas Sowell: Kangaroo Courts On Campus

Does political correctness trump justice?     There seems to be a full-court press on to get colleges to "do something" about rape on campus. But there seems to be remarkably little attention paid to two crucial facts: (1) rape is a crime and (2) colleges are not qualified to be law-enforcement institutions. Why are rapists not reported to   ... MORE

Thomas Sowell: Politics Versus Education

Sacrificing children for votes.       Of all the cynical frauds of the Obama administration, few are so despicable as sacrificing the education of poor and minority children to the interests of the teachers' unions.

Liz Peek: Obama Promotes A Society Of Helpless Victims

Dependency sells.     Eric Holder stirred up a hornet’s nest the other day, whining to a mostly black crowd about the ill treatment he received from a Congressional Committee. Holder seemed to imply that he and President Obama have come in for rough treatment because they are black. It was a stunning comment. This is, after all, Eric Holder,  ... MORE

Walter E Williams: Bizarre Arguments And Behavior

Deceivers and control freaks.     Some statements and arguments are so asinine that you'd have to be an academic or a leftist to take them seriously. Take the accusation that Republicans and conservatives are conducting a war on women. Does that mean they're waging war on their daughters, wives, mothers and other female members of their  ... MORE

The United States Vs. Toyota: Anatomy Of A Shakedown

by Judson Phillips.         Attorney General Eric Holder announced Wednesday a $1.2 billion dollar settlement between Toyota and the U.S. government, ending a criminal probe into Toyota’s disclosure of alleged product defects.

John Solomon: ATF Seeks To Block Fast And Furious Book

Bureaucracy looks to hide inconvenient truth.     The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is blocking the main whistleblower in the Fast and Furious case from publishing a book, claiming his retelling of the Mexico “gun-walking” scandal will hurt morale inside the embattled law enforcement agency, according to       ...

Steve Chapman: Drug Warriors In Retreat

Their drug-induced haze couldn't last forever.    When it comes to Eric Holder, Republicans are divided between the radicals and the moderates. One group regards him as a lawless black power zealot intent on subverting the Constitution and stripping us of our liberties. Then there are the radicals... So when Holder gave a speech     ...

Jacob Sullum: Barack, The Unmerciful Drug Warrior?

Why doesn't Obama pardon more drug offenders?         This week Eric Holder said something that critics of our criminal justice system have been saying for decades but no other U.S. attorney general has managed to say while still in office. “Too many Americans go to too many prisons for far too long, and for no truly good law enforcement    ...

Anthony Gregory: The War On Terror Is A War On Freedom

Terrorism isn't the primary threat to our freedom.     In the aftermath of 9/11, President George W. Bush guided the Patriot Act through Congress, unilaterally expanded surveillance of Americans, amplified executive detention authority and took other dramatic measures that shifted the balance between liberty and       ...

Thomas Sowell: Random Thoughts On The Passing Scene

Laser beams of wisdom.   Edmund Burke said, "There is no safety for honest men, but by believing all possible evil of evil men." Evil men do not always snarl. Some smile charmingly. Those are the most dangerous. If you don't think the mainstream media slants the news, keep track of how often they tell you that the Arctic ice pack is shrinking and how   ... MORE

Dexter Wright: Impeach Eric Holder

Why isn't this a no-brainer?    As the Washington media continues to trip over the stumbling blocks of administration scandals and echoes of Watergate bounce off the buildings across the Potomac River, the question comes to mind: Will there be impeachment hearings this summer as there were in the Summer of '73? There may indeed  ... MORE
