Proof that AG Holder lied to congress?
http://reason.com/blog/2012/06/15/definitive-proof-that-eric-holder-lied-t
Just to review, here's what Holder told the House Judiciary Committee:
Asked about what critics have charged is an overly aggressively enforcement campaign and broken administration promises — including in states that have legalized cannabis for medical purposes — Holder denied the charge.
"This is inconsistent with the little thing called the facts," Holder said in testimony in front of the House Judiciary committee.
Holder told the committee that the Justice Department is not using "limited resources to go after people acting in conformity with state law."
"One has to deal with the reality that there are certain people who took advantage of the state law and a different policy that this administration announced...and have come up with ways they are tkaing advantage of those state laws and going beyond what those states have authorized," Holder said.
Now it's being pointed out that DOJ has threatened to prosecute state employees who comply with their states' marijuana laws:
U.S. Attorneys have threatened state governors that the Justice Department would prosecute state employees who are carrying out state law.
In June 2011, the threats were so real they worried New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (R), a former U.S. Attorney himself.
In Delaware, this spring U.S. Attorney Charles Oberly, III, threatened to prosecute state employees while state officials were developing the regulations to fine tune the state law. In that case the Justice Department was trying to prevent any possibility that anyone could be in "conformity" with state law! Governor Jack Markell actually stopped state employees from going forward in the regulation writing process.
In the adjacent state of Maryland, Gov. Martin O'Malley was so alarmed by Oberly's threat, he announced, before the General Assembly could even mark-up a bill in committee, that he would veto any bill that was sent to him!
Last September, the BATF, a unit of the Justice Department, advised all federally licensed firearms dealers that it would be a crime if they sold a firearm to anyone they knew was a state-licensed medical marijuana patient.
how many dems in congress will defend holder over this like they are over fast and furious???
