Is this really remarkable?
Are you feigning naiveté, Clint, or do you really think we are experiencing a dramatic change in administrative policy when members of Cabinet speak about bills (in this case an Arizona state bill) that hasn't been read word-for-word?
Why would it surprise you that the
Attorney General of the
United States has not read every state bill that goes into state law?
But really, before our panties get too binded into knots, let's look at his exact words, according to your source, FOX News.
1) Three time in the article they use the term "
voiced concerns". This is a ubiquitous phrase that doesn't call for the thunder and lightning you are trying to bring.
2) Attorney General Holder says he "
fears the new law is subject to abuse". These are the same fears we have been talking about over the last couple weeks.
3)
"On Thursday, Holder said he plans to read the law before reaching a decision on whether he thinks it's constitutional." So what is the problem? Your concerns are addressed in the very article you quote. Are you starting to see how FOX News operates?
4) "
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." Again, the same things we have been talking about.
Here is a timely ditty on this topic.
