Supreme Court...Holder act

One of the discussions after the State of the Union centered on the
president's criticism of the recent Supreme Court decision which will
now allow corporations to run adds nearer to election day.

The president's direct criticism of the court's decision, which he incorrectly
stated foreign companies will now be allowed to run ads (refuted by the
reaction of Justice Alito) brought understandable partisan reactions as both
sides were split on this.

But, something occurred after the president made this remark which was
not reported. Members of Congress in agreement stood and applauded,
which is understandable, as they are partisans.

However, the media missed what Attorney General Eric Holder did. He
too, stood and applauded.  As the chief law enforcement officer of our
nation Mr. Holder should not join politicians in a partisan display. He has
the right to respond, but in a different  venue, logically at the Justice Dept,
not in the Capitol.

Such displays clearly blur the lines between politics and the rule of law,
reduces the public's respect for the position of the Attorney General, or at
least in this instance, Mr Holder.
