Republicans to Holder: "Promise not to prosecute BushCo, 'k?"

By GottaLaff


Can the Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee be any more inappropriate?

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., a former U.S. attorney and former Rhode Island attorney general criticized Republican members of the committee for delaying a vote on Holder's nomination.

"Republicans on the Judiciary Committee have asked Eric Holder to make a commitment, before he is even confirmed, that he will not prosecute any Bush administration officials for their involvement in acts of torture during the last administration," Whitehouse said in a news release. "Anyone familiar with the criminal justice system -- especially those with experience as prosecutors or judges -- should know that a prosecutor should make no determination about who to prosecute before he or she has all the facts, and particularly not in response to legislative pressure."

Promise you won't bust the Bush Crime Family for breaking the law, committing war crimes and stuff like torturing and junk, 'k Eric? If you sweartogod you won't do that, we'll be your bff*.

The GOP has lost all sense of reality, utterly and completely. It's just one big delusional sack of mental illness now.
