                 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.
