Holder - Political Hack in Attorney General Suit.

Eric Holder has made news recently calling for all felons released from jail to have their voting rights restored.

What?

Holder said, “This isn’t just about fairness for those who are released from prison. It’s about who we are as a nation. It’s about confronting, with clear eyes and in frank terms, disparities and divisions that are unworthy of the greatest justice system the world has ever known.”

But Hans von Spakovsky, a former Justice Department official, noted Holder’s disingenuousness, saying:

That speech showed how political he is. All he talks about is the restoration of voting rights for felons. What he fails to mention is the fact that you don’t just lose your right to vote. In most states, you lose your rights to own a gun, to sit on a jury, to engage in certain kinds of employment like being a police officer. Nowhere does he say a word about restoring those rights. That tells me he is only interested in the potential votes.

Yep, just a hack.
