Holder Admits to Not Reading Arizona's Immigration Law Despite Criticizing It

Despite repeatedly voicing concerns about Arizona's new immigration enforcement law in recent weeks and threatening to challenge it, Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday he has not yet read the law -- which is only 10 pages long.

"I have not had a chance to -- I've glanced at it," Holder said at a House Judiciary Committee hearing when asked had he read the state law cracking down on illegal immigrants.

Holder told reporters last month that he fears the new law is subject to abuse and that the Justice Department and the Homeland Security Department are in the midst of conducting a review.

The Arizona law requires local and state law enforcement to question people about their immigration status if there's reason to suspect they're in the country illegally, and makes it a state crime to be in the United States illegally.

The law has sparked protests across the country, including a City Council-approved boycott of Arizona businesses by Los Angeles.But proponents deny that the law encourages racial profilng, with some saying the local controversy is a symptom of a broken federal immigration system.

Holder said last month that a number of options are under consideration, including the possibility of a court challenge.

On Thursday, Holder said he plans to read the law before reaching a decision on whether he thinks it's constitutional.

When asked by Rep.Ted Poe, R-Texas, how he could have constitutional concerns about a law he has not read, Holder said: "Well, what I've said is that I've not made up my mind. I've only made the comments that I've made on the basis of things that I've been able to glean by reading newspaper accounts, obviously, television, talking to people who are on the review panel...looking at the law."

On Sunday, Holder said he does not think Arizona's law is racially motivated but voiced concern that its enforcement could lead to racial profiling.

Holder said he understands the frustration behind the Arizona law, but he warned during an appearance on ABC's "This Week" that "we could potentially get on a slippery slope where people will be picked on because of how they look as opposed to what they have done."

Ha so he Read it and now is trying to backtrack What an Ass. It is a funny thing that happens when you assume and believe what you hear in the news and papers. If you are not carefull you can really start some serious conflict as we all have seen.

I heard an excellent comment yesterday, I paraphrase a bit........


We hear all this talk about "Racial Profiling" and how bad it is, but isn't "Affirmative Action" Racial Profiling???

did you honestly THINK a politician (or a judge) would actually READ a law? didn't the bailouts and health care fiasco teach you ANYthing?

Watch Holder sometime and he can't answer a question with a straight answer. He takes 5 minutes and rambles on and on in an endless rant that answers nothing and leaves him noncommited. Gutless is more like it. Good or Bad he should answer the damn question. It took that guy from Texas at least 5 or 6 tries to get an answer about radical Islam from Holder that actually could be construed as a Yes or No. This administration with all of it's pomp and circumstance,high priced eduaction liberal twits, and supposedly Americans is about the most piss poor one I have ever seen. All they convey is mistrust, deceit and an elitist attitude that is going to be their downfall if people get the message and do something about it before it's too late.

IMHO Holder is another Napolotino...stupid, ugly, and a puppet...I was not surprised to discover he had not even read the law before being publicly critical...

The funny thing is when asked where he got his information...he answered television...think about how obama has been criticizing what we see on TV...hmmm...obama needs to get a smarter puppet master over to holder's office.

He is a pip all right/// Another PC embarrasment for the world to see on the stage of Obamas National Follies . Sadly Hillary would not have been any better although I bet her Testicles are bigger than Holders who looks like a closet Diddler in a suit.
