Holder doesn’t believe in the First Amendment either

It’s become abundantly clear recently that Obama’s pick for Attorney General Eric Holder doesn’t believe in the Second Amendment. But, it gets better and better, because now we learn Holder doesn’t believe in the First Amendment either!

Danny Glover at Eyeblast reveals a nine-year-old NPR interview with Eric Holder regarding how the government needs to regulate Internet communications.  The rumored front-runner for Attorney General told NPR that the Columbine killers may have found some of their venom through Internet access, as well as a bomb recipe or two.

We apparently will have an incoming administration blissfully ignorant of the Constitution they will swear to defend.  Barack Obama couldn’t articulate a coherent statement on gun rights despite his supposed status as a Constitutional scholar, Joe Biden couldn’t figure out what Article I actually establishes, and now Eric Holder hasn’t read the First Amendment.  Maybe we should pass out more of those Robert Byrd Pocket Constitutions during the transition, and hold a test before Inauguration Day.

Read the whole thing and watch the video of the interview. Maybe Eric Holder could just give us a list of the parts of the United States Constitution he actually does believe in so we’ll all know  which of our constitutional freedoms Holder is going to trample on ahead of time. It would be much simpler that way.
