Former President Barack Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder
admitted he saw coronavirus as “an opportunity” to permanently change the way
Americans voted.
“Coronavirus gives us an
opportunity to revamp our electoral system so that it permanently becomes more
inclusive and becomes easier for the American people to access,” Holder said in
an interview with TIME magazine.
He called for a “sea change” in
voting systems, allowing Americans to vote from home, using prepaid mail-in
ballots and unlimited absentee voting. Holder did not discuss concerns about
voter fraud in his interview but posited that any special exceptions made to
the voting process during the coronavirus should remain permanent.
“It would be foolhardy to take
these pro-democracy measures off the table after we get on the other side of
the virus,” he said. “These are changes that we should make permanent because
it will enhance our democracy.”
Holder’s comments align with
former President Barack Obama, who voiced support for mail-in voting and
joined forces with former First Lady Michelle Obama and prominent celebrities
to press the United States for more
mail-in voting.
Failed presidential candidate
Hillary Clinton and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have also called for mail-in voting in the
2020 election.
“Judicial Watch’s records request is designed
to expose how California state
legislators are
wasting tax dollars to take
care of another
corrupt politician – Eric
Holder – under the
guise of resisting the rule of
law on
immigration and other matters,” stated
Judicial Watch president Tom
Fitton. “His
record at the Clinton and Obama
Justice
Departments demonstrates a
willingness to
bend the law in order to
protect his political
patrons.”
CALIFORNIA COMRADES CHOOSE
COMRADE HOLDER
Any attorney general who is not an activist is not doing his or
her job.
Eric Holder
In Part One of this series, we exposed the Chicano Marxist take over
of the California legislature and their plans to defy federal immigration
laws and expected actions of the incoming Trump administration. Gov. Jerry
Brown’s nomination of Xavier Becerra to be California’s next Attorney General was the first of
many steps to protect the pervasive lawlessness of the radical left. Becerra
has already taken an aggressive and combative stance against President-elect
Donald Trump, vowing to fight Trump’s efforts to enforce immigration laws, and
even block attempts to deport criminal illegal aliens. Trump’s campaign
centered on building a wall along the United States border with Mexico to
keep out illegal immigrants, violent gangs, and terrorists posing as
immigrants.
Xavier Becerra, currently a
12-year member of Congress, is an admitted member of MEChA, or “Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan,”
often likened to a Latino KKK.
Becerra’s Radical Plans
Recently, the State Assembly
Committee on the Office of the Attorney General asked nominee Becerra to
detail his plans on the issues of immigration, civil rights, the environment,
policing and consumer protection – apparently the only issues the California
Legislature is interested in Becerra defending.
In a letter released Saturday, Becerra praised California’s policies
helping illegal aliens get driver’s licenses, free college tuition, and free
lawyers to represent them in deportation cases, calling it “national
leadership.”
“All of these policies and
programs are representative of California’s values as a welcoming state,”
Becerra wrote to the Assembly committee.
Becerra also took a shot at
Trump for proposing to create a registry of Muslim immigrants during the
campaign.”Disturbing statements uttered during the recent Presidential campaign
have given rise to legitimate fears that the new federal administration might
seek to adopt policies that would discriminate against people based on factors
such as their religious belief,” Becerra wrote. “Any such policies would be
antithetical to the deepest constitutional values and traditions of this nation
— a nation founded in part by men and women fleeing religious
persecution.”
“I have no intention of
allowing this policy through the doors of California,” he wrote.
Like a good
progressive foot soldier, Becerra also vowed to fight for abortion,
calling it “reproductive freedom.”
Becerra said he will support
California’s recent legislation expanding voter registration and participation
in elections. He might want to look into the 650,000 newly registered
California voters, registered online only weeks before the election. According to the Los Angeles Times, “98% of all the growth in
California’s voter ranks in 2016 happened in just the last 45 days of the
registration season.”
As Attorney General,
Becerra has vowed to continue enforcing policies to combat climate change and
work to “transition Californians to a low-carbon way of life.” Becerra added
that a part of environmental protections is safe drinking water and vowed to
“pursue the goal of providing safe drinking water to all Californians.” Perhaps
Becerra can begin by supporting the safe drinking water bills that Assemblyman
Devon Mathis has tried to get passed over the last two years? In Mathis’
district, wells began going dry in East Porterville more than three years ago,
with more continuing to dry up every day.
Assemblyman Devon Mathis,
R-Porterville, authored the bills to provide $10 million to
homeowners (not farmers) to dig deeper wells and clean contaminated ones.
Both bills passed through the
Assembly and a state Senate committee without opposition, only to have Senate
Appropriations Chairman Ricardo Lara, D-Los Angeles and Mecha activist, put
both bills on suspense– one after the other, killing them and depriving 10,000+
low-income individuals access to running water. Sen. Lara was playing politics
with this Republican bill, despite the 10,000 poor people who need the clean
water.
Sanctuary Cities
California, through its 35
Sanctuary Cities, is clearly violating U.S. Federal Immigration law. Recently,
Democrat members of the State Legislature proposed two bills: SB 6 by Sen. Ben
Hueso, to create a state program to fund legal representation for illegal
aliens facing deportation, and AB 3 by Assemblyman Rob Bonta to create taxpayer-funded training
for defense attorneys and public defenders on immigration law for illegal
aliens.
And now California is going
to try to prevent the new Presidential administration from enforcing federal
immigration law despite the fact that the Constitution clearly imposes a duty
on the president and the executive branch, to enforce the law.
Hiring Eric Holder… for what?
Democrats in the California
State Legislature apparently decided Becerra isn’t enough legal muscle, and
recently hired former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder to fight a “clear and
present danger” from President-elect Trump… the same former Attorney General
Eric Holder who was once blasted for helping to
trigger a “war” on police and called America
“a nation of cowards” on the issue of race. However, he now says he sees his
“younger” self in Black Lives Matter activists… this is who California hired to
assist California’s top law enforcement officer?
Since Trump — who is not
referring to himself as “The Office of President-Elect,” as his predecessor did — has not yet taken office, nor
any official actions, it is hard to see specifically for what purpose Holder
has been hired.
There certainly is poetic
justice in hiring the failed Attorney General of the failed Obama
Administration to defend the failed and deteriorating policies of the Jerry
Brown administration and radical Democrats running the state.
Described as a “devious,
power-hungry, racial zealot,” Eric Holder is also a dubious choice since he is
the only U.S. Attorney General in history to be held in contempt of Congress,
when he refused to turn over Operation Fast and Furious documents to Congress. One of the most reckless law
enforcement operations ever conducted by the Justice Department, it involved
selling guns to Mexican drug cartels, and resulted in the death of a U.S.
border patrol agent, Brian Terry, as well as hundreds of Mexican citizens.
Under Holder’s watch at the
DOJ Civil Rights Division, more than half of all the lawyers hired were chosen
from four radical, anti-American organizations: the ACLU, National Council of
La Raza, NAACP, Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, and the
Lawyer’s Committee for Civil Rights, John Fund and Hans von Spakovsky outlined
in their 2014 book, “Obama’s Enforcer: Eric Holder’s
Justice Department.”
Additionally, the Justice
Department under Holder, and now Loretta Lynch, has one of the worst records before the U.S. Supreme Court, losing
significantly more cases than either of the Bush or Clinton Departments of
Justice. “In most administrations, the department wins about 70 percent of the
cases before the Supreme Court; Mr. Holder’s department has a losing record and
has lost at least nine cases 9-0–even with Obama appointees Elena Kagen and
Sonia Sotomayor on the court,” wrote Jared Taylor of American Renaissance, in a review of “Obama’s Enforcer: Eric Holder’s
Justice Department.”
Judicial Watch announced today
that it filed a records request with the California Legislature Joint Rules Committee
seeking to examine legislative records regarding the state’s employment of
former Obama U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. The record request
includes:
All
contracts between the California Legislature and former U.S. Attorney General
Eric Holder Jr. or Covington and Burling.
All
communications between the California Legislature and former U. S. Attorney
General Eric Holder Jr. or Covington and Burling about the Legislature’s
retention of Holder and/or Covington and Burling.
“Judicial Watch’s records request is designed to expose how
California state legislators are wasting tax dollars to take care of another
corrupt politician – Eric Holder – under the guise of resisting the rule of law
on immigration and other matters,” stated Judicial Watch president
Tom Fitton. “His
record at the Clinton and Obama Justice Departments demonstrates a willingness
to bend the law in order to protect his political patrons.”
The hiring of Eric Holder by
the California Legislature confirms a lack of confidence in Xavier Becerra
by Gov. Brown and Democrats in the Legislature–which must be quite humiliating
for Becerra, especially after his promise to uphold California’s “progressive”
policies on immigration, Obamacare, energy, and criminal justice. “If you want
to take on a forward-leaning state that is prepared to defend its rights and interests,
then come at us,” Becerra said, directing his comment to Trump. Choosing
Holder also reiterates the anti-American, anti-Constitution, anti-religion
movement of Marxists in America, but particularly in California.
The biggest obstacle standing between Marxism and Marxist domination
of the world is America, and the U.S. Constitution. And standing between a
Marxist takeover of America is California – only when California is destroyed
can Marxists proceed.
