ATTORNEY GENERAL HOLDER ACCOUNTABILITY
(Mr. GOSAR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mr. GOSAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to shed light on Attorney
General Eric Holder's less than glamorous tenure as Attorney General.
As the chief law enforcement officer of our Nation, Mr. Holder is
expected to govern by the principle of seeking justice. As a sworn
Federal official, he has one primary job: to enforce the laws of the
United States fairly and impartially. It is for that reason that Lady
Justice wears a blindfold. The blindfold represents objectivity and
that justice should be dealt out without fear, favor, or impartiality.
How come Mr. Holder dispenses his version of justice impartially? How
come the Attorney General overlooked injustices and with disregard for
the rule of law?
As Supreme Court Justice Brandeis said:
In a government of laws, the existence of the government
will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law
scrupulously. If government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds
contempt for law: it invites every man to become a law unto
himself. It invites anarchy.
I ask you then, has the Attorney General invited anarchy?
I will continue to make my case here in the people's House at the
people's pulpit. Folks, I will be back.
