Eric Holder Will Hire 50 New Attorneys So Defending DOMA Is Easier

eric_holder_11

Did you hear the one about the Department of Justice “recharging” its 52-year-old Civil Rights Division? Lots of politically motivated hiring, firing, and direction here, but Attorney General Eric Holder wants to add some 50 new attorneys to the unit that’s responsible for enforcing anti-discrimination laws. Or, you know, defending discrimination laws.

What do you think of this post?

Too bad gays do not have civil rights, another benefit that will help everyone else except us. We wouldn’t be having all these problem with a true leader like Hillary. This man sold us swamp land in Florida.

“nuff said. Our government has become a theocracy.

And Sally Kern (also a Christian) worries that our government is being “infiltrated” by queers?

Of course, people like Sally obsess over queers “infiltrating” the government. It’s they (the Christers) who are “infiltrating” the government and we gays are the only ones will balls enough to call them out on their religious bigotry, hatred and discrimination.

No. 8 · do you even research before you post?

Again, an idiotic post. There are divisions within the Department of Justice. The Civil Rights Division does not ever defend laws when they are challenged as unconstitutional. That is the Federal Programs Branch.

@ggreen: Honestly, I guessed it from the beginning, but hopefully he has time to prove himself more of a JFK or Bill Clinton (on economy anway)… we’ll see!

@InExile: Yeah, ’cause her husband didn’t pass DOMA and DADT or anything. And she didn’t defend those decisions when asked about them directly. I’m sure she’d have solved every single problem that the geighs face and have had us all over for a circuit party on the White House lawn by now.
