An unpleasant smell attends the Department of Justice decision to not prosecute New Mexico Governor (and Obama ally) Bill Richardson. Fresh on the heels of the Department declining to prosecute the New Black Panthers for voter intimidation, while appointing a special prosecutor for CIA interrogators, the appearance of a politicized Justice Department is being created.
It’s not like this wasn’t perfectly predictable. Given his history, the Republican Senators that went along with the Holder nomination should be ashamed. They betrayed those who voted for them to prevent such things.
Just my opinion, but anyone who seriously expects backbone from Republican Senators, has got to have been living in a cave for the last 25 years. Shame? We’ll be lucky if they can remember which party’s convention to go to in 2012.
