First off, if this situation were reversed, I have no doubt your opinion would as well.

That aside, here are some facts for you. Justice.gov says this about recusals:

3-2.170 Recusals
When United States Attorneys, or their offices, become aware of an issue that could require a recusal in a criminal or civil matter or case as a result of a personal interest or professional relationship with parties involved in the matter, they must contact General Counsel’s Office (GCO), EOUSA. The requirement of recusal does not arise in every instance, but only where a conflict of interest exists or there is an appearance of a conflict of interest or loss of impartiality.

A United States Attorney who becomes aware of circumstances that might necessitate a recusal of himself/herself or of the entire office, should promptly notify GCO, EOUSA, at (202) 514-4024 to discuss whether a recusal is required. If recusal is appropriate, the USAO will submit a written recusal request memorandum to GCO. GCO will then coordinate the recusal action, obtain necessary approvals for the recusal, and assist the office in arranging for a transfer of responsibility to another office, including any designations of attorneys as a Special Attorney or Special Assistant to the Attorney General (see USAM 3-2.300) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 515. See USAP 3-2.170.001 (M).

Holder clearly had a professional relationship with C&B which should have been disclosed. It doesn’t matter that the firm isn’t representing KSM or the other detainees.

Regarding Hamdan, the Court turned 200+ years of precedent on its head. For that, I would only suggest reading the dissenting opinions of Scalia, Alito and Thomas and also familiarizing yourself with the Eisentrager case. Or better yet read this: http://marklevinfan.com/?p=1224

What is the matter with “patriots” like you who jump to conclusions and spread falsehoods based on… what? Your misplaced sense of outrage and spittle?

Maybe you should seriously consider your “news” sources rather than just being an empty vesseled part of the echo chamber mindlessly repeating what your right wing lords tell you to repeat. At the very least you should at least put some brain cells to work and actually give some thought to whether emotional conclusions based upon half-true “facts” designed to elicit emotional responses really pass the logic test. Usually arguements designed for emotion are specifically framed that way specifically so that you get so worked up you don’t even notice that they fail the logic test. Some “patriot” indeed.

I point out to people who have said words like, “I didn’t expect this!” My retort hasn’t changed. I say, “In fairness, Obama and his fellow Marxists are doing what they said they would do if they were elected during the presidential campaign. Obama never said he wanted to improve the country. He said, time and time again, that he wants to transform the country. And that’s exactly what he is doing.” And that also includes how we confront terrorists and terrorism…That’s change for you.
