He wants Loretta Lynch to pledge she is going to pursue Attorney General Holder for breaking the law.
He made a reference to a decision by the USA Supreme Court whereby the AG's argument was unconstitutional. That is a lame statement. To begin he made no reference to the exact case and there were ongoing investigations and litigation from the previous administration that went forward under the new administration. I would expect those decisions to be unconstitutional.
In addition, there is such a thing as a dissenting opinion of which Justice Scalia holds dear to his heart all these many years. So, if one Justice finds such a decision to be important, then the arguments leading to them are just as valid.
Senator Cornyn is having a hissy fit about the fact 'the law' can be ignored in some cases because of lack of resources; ie: Pot and Undocumented Workers. If Senator Cornyn remembers his participation in cutting budgets in the Executive Branch, he will answer his own questions.
I have yet to hear a question regarding the last words of Eric Garner. He was repeatedly harassed by police and on this day he was killed by that very harassement.
Let me add this. The references to "Broken Windows Policy" is not a valid defense. The Broken Windows Policy was originally about broken windows and having them replaced and not about harassment of people deemed undesirable or providing some kind of actions to collect a pay check.
The theory about broken windows is that the aesthetics of living, if imposed on impoverished communities would result in better law enforcement. That theory went forward to lead to actions by police all the way to "Stop and Frisk." If one focuses on whom exactly the Broken Windows Laws applied, it was not the renters or the people who lived in the neighborhoods. The Broken Windows law was about property owners that didn't care about their property.
Broken Windows originated in 1982 and has grown in scope to provide a methodology leading to police brutality and now death of citizens.
My country doesn't kill Eric Garner, it roots out criminals smuggling illegal tobacco in to the USA. It is a matter of national security. The smugglers are more important to stop simply because we know criminal networks exist because of the commerce of illegal goods. Eric Garner is not a national security issue. He was a father with teenagers he wanted to go on to college because he was unable to achieve that goal. A dollar a cigarette wasn't going to threaten national security. I am assuming the six officers were making somewhere between $20 to $30 per hour at least. It is amazing to realize the money spent on killing Eric Garner when it should have been spent in disarming criminal networks in the USA.
