It just never ends.   Attorney General Eric Holder admitted yesterday that he has not read the 10 page bill passed by Arizona last month.  Yet that hasn’t stopped him from criticizing it and questioning the the constitutionality of it.  Now I may be a simpleton, but wouldn’t you want to educate yourself on a subject before you go out there and oppose it?   It is apparent that no one in the White House has read the bill, but then, do they really care to?  They are much more comfortable vilifying those that support it and throwing down the race gauntlet in order to rally their base and gain possible Hispanic votes.  This is by Josh Gerstein from the Politico:

In television interviews over the weekend, Attorney General Eric Holder warned that Arizona’s new anti-illegal immigration law could lead to racial profiling and might prompt Latinos to stop cooperating with police. However, it emerged at a House hearing Thursday that Holder hasn’t actually read the statute.

“I have not had a chance to. I’ve glanced at it. I have not read it,” Holder acknowledged in response to questions from Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas).

“It’s ten pages. It’s a lot shorter than the health care bill, which was 2,000 pages long. I’ll give you my copy of it, if you would like to — to have a copy,” Poe quipped during the House Judiciary Committee oversight hearing.

The Arizona law passed last month calls for checks on individuals’ immigration status after any “lawful contact” with police if there is reasonable suspicion they’re not legally in the country. President Barack Obama, Holder and other administration officials have expressed concern that the law could lead to Americans of Hispanic descent being stopped by police. Latino groups are organizing boycotts of the state.

“The concern I have about the law that they have passed is that I think it has the possibility of leading to racial profiling and putting a wedge between law enforcement and a community that would, in fact, be profiled,” Holder said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet The Press.” “People in that community are less likely then to cooperate with people in law enforcement, less likely to share information, less likely to be witnesses in a case that law enforcement is trying to solve.”

Holder said Thursday he’s asked a team of advisers from Justice and the Department of Homeland Security to review the law for him. He said he expects to issue a pronouncement on the Arizona law “relatively soon.”
