Holder “forgot” to disclose seven Supreme Court briefs

[airbud]

Not surprisingly the guy responsible for the DOJ (Department of Jihad) Eric Holder "forgot" to disclose seven Supreme Court briefs he joined, including two for Jose Padilla. Such briefs would have needed to be disclosed during the official confirmation process. Eric Holder should have provided senators considering his nomination last year with all of the legal papers he had signed or written while in private practice.

Attorney General Eric Holder failed to tell the Senate about seven legal briefs he signed when lawmakers considered his nomination to his current job, according to a letter released on Friday.

Two of the briefs involved appeals to the Supreme Court for Jose Padilla AKA Abdullah al-Muhajir, who sought release from a military prison in South Carolina where he was being held after then-President George W. Bush designated him an "enemy combatant."

Padilla was held in a military brig for three years before his case was moved to a criminal court in Miami, where he was convicted on charges of offering his services to militants.

Jose Padilla if you recall has admitted wanting to turn a major American city into a waste land. It was also an extremely high profile case so the mere fact that Holder intentionally left those out is treasonous at best.

A Justice Department spokesman said that the briefs were "unfortunately and inadvertently" left out of his submission to the committee.

Are we expected to believe that then-nominee Holder, with only a handful of Supreme Court briefs to his name, forgot about his role in one of this country’s most publicized terrorism cases? Really?

This is at the same time Holder is under intense scrutiny for a litany of questionable events coming out of the DOJ. The Black Panther voter suppression investigation that they squashed, the various (Al Queda 7) lawyers from his law firm, now having positions in the DOJ and then the latest being DOJ shutting down the federal ACORN investigation.

Time for him to go!
