Rep. Paul Gosar: Attorney General Holder Shows Disregard for the Rule of Law U.S. Congressman Paul Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) spoke on the House floor today highlighting Attorney General Eric Holder’s failure to uphold the rule of law and failure to comply with the highest standards of ethics, competence and honesty. This floor speech is the first in a series of speeches listing the violations of the law and other transgressions made by the Attorney General. TRANSCRIPT: Mr. Holder’s violations of the law are egregious and he should not be immune from the prosecution or given license to act without restraint. An ordinary citizen would go to jail for secretly obtaining phone records and emails. As the Court Justice Brandeis said, “In a government of laws, the existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously…. If government becomes a lawbreaker it breeds contempt for law: it invites every man to become a law unto himself. It invites anarchy.” And folks, I will be back. ### |
