Fri, May 11 2012 8:33 AM
Holder’s Department of Justice is making “endless discovery requests seeking millions of records that have nothing to do with” the Texas voter ID case, according to Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott’s office.

The Constitution v. the Obama Justice Department
Tue, Apr 17 2012 8:22 AM
How is the Constitution at odds against the Obama Justice Department? What about the appointments President Obama made when there was no recess and the Office of Legal Counsel in the Department of Justice attempted to justify after the fact?

Obomination: DOJ Distorts Data As It Aggressively Scrutinizes Voter ID
Fri, Jan 20 2012 6:29 AM
Obama’s Justice Department will go to whatever lengths to distort data in order to pursue their “aggressive” agenda against voter ID. The Department of Justice is misusing its power where it has authority not to preclear voting statutes if they violate civil rights laws.

Obomination: DOJ Puts Politics Above the Law
Fri, Jan 13 2012 5:26 AM
Last Friday’s Obomination was Obama’s decision to make four illegal recess appointments last week. This week, the Obomination is his Justice Department’s poorly written after-the-fact rationalization for those appointments.

Fri, Sep 10 2010 3:09 PM
Well, the Holder Department of Justice is at it again.
