But I&#8217;m not in a position to say at this point, not having read the law, not having had the chance to interact with people are doing the review, exactly what my position is,&#8221; Mr. Holder told the House Judiciary Committee.<\/p>\n<p>This weekend Mr. Holder told NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; program that the Arizona law &#8220;has the possibility of leading to racial profiling.&#8221; He had earlier called the law&#8217;s passage &#8220;unfortunate,&#8221; and questioned whether the law was unconstitutional because it tried to assume powers that may be reserved for the federal government. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The video;<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"500\" height=\"333\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/5U4tI_qzyH0&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/5U4tI_qzyH0&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>Dinan reports in another <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2010\/may\/14\/holder-balks-at-blaming-radical-islam\/\">Washington Times<\/a> article that Holder is also reticent about pointing out that many of the attempted attacks on the US are easily blamed on radical Islam;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;There are a variety of reasons why people do these things. Some of them are potentially religious,&#8221; Mr. Holder told the committee Thursday, though he would not go further than saying people who hold radical views may have &#8220;had an ability to have an impact&#8221; on Faisal Shahzad, the man the Justice Department says tried to detonate a car bomb in Times Square. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Potentially religious&#8221; is his escape hatch for the Left &#8211; so he can blame &#8220;right wing extremists&#8221; that don&#8217;t seem to be able to mount an attack in the last seventeen years. Holder is a coward who has been cowed by the political Left and his boss. The attorney general is supposed to act independently of politics and his boss &#8211; Holder can&#8217;t do that. He should resign before someone dies because of his incompetence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After sending weeks disparaging the new law in Arizona allowing law enforcement officers to check the &hellip; <a title=\"Holder=coward\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=19123\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Holder=coward<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19123","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-barack-obama","category-legal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19123","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=19123"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19123\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=19123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=19123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=19123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
