Documents: Eric Holdit Has Billed Taxpayers For More Than $4 Million In Travel In Less Than 4 Years

Via Daily Mail:
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder’s travel expenses exceeded $4 million for 213 separate trips during President Obama’s first term in office, according to documents obtained through the Freedom Of Information Act.
The expenses, incurred between March 2009 and August 2012, were all borne by taxpayers – including those covering several personal trips. Holder typically travels on a government-owned Gulfstream V jet, whose retail cost is more than $53.5 million. The U.S. government owns at least five such aircraft.
Judicial Watch released the documents Monday, showing that the attorney general billed his agency more than $113,000 in travel expenses for four trips he made, while in office, to speak to liberal advocacy groups.
Holder’s very first taxpayer-funded trip was to an April 2009 ‘US/Mexico Arms Trafficking Strategy Meeting.’

"This asshole, government pimp never cease to amaze me. He does not care about the middle class, you know, the one's that pay the f**king bills. It is amazing that this asshole is still the AG. I guess Holdit is trying to keep up with the O'Dumdass's. Those trips are so very addictive. 1 Million a year? What have AG's before him got? He is nothing but scum. Too bad they were round trip. It would be money well spent if it were one way. "I don't normally hate people, but when I do...I hate Eric Holder." -The Most Reasonable Man in the World." MC

  "….Transnationalists want to rewrite the laws of war, do away with the death penalty, restrict gun rights and much more—all without having to win popular majorities or heed American constitutional limits. And these advocates are making major strides under an Obama administration that is itself a hotbed of transnational legal thinking….

To be clear, transnationalism isn’t a conspiratorial enterprise. In the legal academy, its advocates have openly stated their aims and means. “International law now seeks to influence political outcomes within sovereign States,” Anne-Marie Slaughter, then dean of Princeton’s public-affairs school, wrote in an influential 2007 essay. International law, she went on, must expand to include “domestic choices previously left to the determination of national political processes” and be able to “alter domestic politics.”

The preferred entry point for importing foreign norms into American law is the U.S. court system. The Yale Law School scholar Howard Koh, a transnationalist advocate, has written that “domestic courts must play a key role in coordinating U.S. domestic constitutional rules with rules of foreign and international law.” Over the past two decades, activist judges have increasingly cited “evolving” international standards to overturn state laws, and Mr. Koh has suggested that foreign norms can be “downloaded” into American law in this manner…." --WSJ via Tammy Bruce
