Holder Set back race relations showed disrespect for Rule of Law says Project 21s Cooper
Washington DC - Eric Holders term as the Attorney General is finally coming to an end. I for one am thankful. As the nations first black head of the Justice Department Eric Holder managed to set back race relations showed disrespect for the rule of law and undermined basic constitutional principles" said Project 21 Co-Chairman Horace Cooper a black 
legal commentator who taught Constitutional Law at George Mason University and former general counsel for a U.S. House of Representatives Majority Leader.
Hopefully his replacement will understand the difference between being the chief legal advisor for the implementation of a partisan agenda and being the chief law enforcement officer of the United States" Cooper said.
With appropriate new leadership the Justice Department can return to its proper role as a steward of the Constitution.
Instead of undermining the separation of powers it can protect it" said Cooper.
Instead of castigating the Supreme Court and its precedent it can bolster them.
Never again should we accept a nominee for this post who fails to accept the responsibilities of this esteemed office" said Cooper.
Project 21 members have disagreed with the Holder Justice Department on issues such as:
- Voter ID and other ballot protections
- Race-based school admissions policies
- The dropped voter intimidation prosecution of the New Black Panther Party
- The Departments investigations of the IRS scandal Fast & Furious and other matters
