VIDEO – BREAKING NEWS: Obama’s Attorney General, Eric Holder, on the Rule of Law

 

Today, former Deputy Attorney General under Bill Clinton, Eric Holder accepted President-elect Barack Obama’s invitation to become the next Attorney General.

Holder, who is on the board of the American Constitution Society (ACS) has a fundamental understanding of the role of the law in society, and recognizes the concept that nobody is above or below the law.  

Earlier this year, he gave a lecture for the ACS convention regarding the importance of restoring the rule of law. He called upon the United States to reverse “the disastrous course” set by the current administration in the struggle against terrorism, arguing “the next president must move immediately to reclaim America’s standing in the world as a nation that cherishes and protects individual freedom and basic human rights.”
