| Holder plays only card he knows at Morgan State commencement. |

| [Politico] Attorney General Eric Holder took a swipe Saturday at Chief Justice John Roberts's jurisprudence on the issue of race, arguing that forcing the government to be entirely color-blind isn't the way to heal America's racial ills. Er huh...justice should not be blind ? Speaking at commencement exercises for historically-black Morgan State University in Baltimore, Holder alluded to high-profile controversies over racial comments by figured like rancher Clive Bundy and L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling, but said that it's a mistake to think that America's most serious racial problems stem from repugnant public statements. The attorney general argued that it's more important to end policies that perpetuate racial differences than to dwell on occasional spurts of racist rhetoric. He clearly recognizes the benefits of judicial fiat over simply ignoring the law. |

| #4 Segregation, racism, pitting one group against another, devisiveness, weak or no leadership, weakening the country are going to be the hallmark of this administration--that will be BHO's their legacy. |

| #3 The attorney general argued that it's more important to end policies that perpetuate racial differences than to dwell on occasional spurts of racist rhetoric. Does that mean we can finally put Affirmative Action to rest? No? Didn't think so. |

| #1 The attorney general argued that it's more important to end policies that perpetuate racial differences So I take that to mean that Holder will start prosecuting the likes of the Black Panthers for voter intimidation and start focusing on black-on-black violence. Right? Didn't think so. |
