Why would it surprise you that the Attorney General of the United States has not read every state bill that goes into state law?

It is their job #1. #2 they shouldn't forward on falsehoods as truths. Don't defend this.
Because this isn't just any old state law. States are boycotting each other over this.
Also he is the legal advisor to the president. The president bases some of his opinions based on what the Attorney General concludes about such a law. If the president and the attorney general are basing opinions on falsehoods or reading what the law was from the Washington Post etc, then they aren't doing there job.

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.

You are cutting his quotes in half:
----------------------
"When asked by Poe 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." "
------------------------
You don't make comments on something you didn't verify; especially in his position.
If you don't see the problem here, there is nothing further to engage you with. He is carrying on lies by the lib media and using his position to further them.
