Quote:Secret laws, secret courts, secret evidence, secret dragnet snooping, too big to fail, too big to jail… the Department of Justice (DOJ) has not been fully living up to its name.
As Attorney General Eric Holder prepares to step down, it is time to look forward and ask what his replacement must bring to the table for our country. The United States has been increasingly dominated by law-dodging, self-serving big corporations. Wall Street continues its corporate crime wave; strip-mining the economy whilst providing huge bonuses to its executives. The Executive Branch has run amok with acts of imperial military aggression, unlawful imprisonment and many civilian fatalities with no legal consequences.
President Obama should strongly consider the areas that Mr. Holder’s Justice Department has failed to adequately act upon when choosing his successor. The new attorney general will have the responsibility to establish trust and confidence with the American people that their Department of Justice is doing its job sufficiently.

People have always been politically capable of enforcing laws to ensure justice. The problem is most politicians are unwilling to do so because they don't want to alienate their supporters who are powerful lobbyists paying them to support their interests. It's not about the general population. Most of the time, a show is being put on display to give a crafty illusion of justice taking place through honest politics. However, this is rarely the case. Eric Holder stepped down for a variety of reasons, one of the main reasons being the upcoming mid-term elections in America. Eric Holder has been viewed as someone who is "too black" and "too radical" because he dare to seek justice for African Americans whose voting rights are under attack or they are being subjected to police brutality - both examples being extremely un-American. However, I guess it's only un-American if the victims are not black. Eric Holder's presence made Democrats fearful of losing seats in the Senate and Congress while Republicans can manipulate his image as someone who consistently vilified white America. Right now, GOP politicians cling to racial stereotyping and fear mongering with an image of black Americans getting massive power to destroy America as a whole. Although such a statement is bizarre, it is a tactic that is playing into white racial anxiety and it has worked since President Obama first announced he was running for President in 2007.
