Impeach Holder - The Coalition of African-American Pastors is calling for Attorney General Eric Holder to be impeached because of his "lawless" support for same-sex marriage. “It’s one thing to make a political argument that gay marriage should be the law, but it’s quite another to take actions that ignore federal law, Supreme Court rulings and the constitutions of dozens of states that have specifically rejected the redefinition of marriage which the administration is trying to impose,” the group said in a statement.

Where's the Outrage? - Georgia Rep. David Scott is amazed by civil rights groups' silence on Obama's controversial judicial picks for his state. One defended voter ID laws in court; the other supported a Confederate flag emblem on the Georgia flag. “These civil rights organizations should hold their heads in shame. If Frederick Douglass were here, he’d be fighting against this. If Martin Luther King were here, he’d be fighting against this,” Scott said in a Feb. 26 radio interview.  (Photo: courtesy davidscott.house.gov)
