Senator Lee is one of the Smartest People in Congress. If you look at his history the man is Amazing

Its funny how Holder just says "I don't know" when asked a question he doesn't want to answer. Just like a 3 year old kid

We are so smart as citizens of Utah and the United States of America to have elected Mike Lee as a Senator to represent us and Utah in the US Senate. Thank you Senator Lee for serving and doing what we sent you to do. I am proud of what you are trying to do for us and our Republic.

If the actions of the president are at odds with the constitution, why is it taking so long to get anything more than questions asked of Holder? Where are the positive actions taken to stop this usurpation of congressional power?

Exactly ! Nobody is accusing Obama of making "too much" use of his executive power. We are accusing him of exceeding his executive authority. He can use his power all day long, there is no limit on that and that is his right. It is when you try to use your power to exceed your authority that is when we have a legal problem. Same thing for the congress. There is no limit on the number of laws they can pass to use their legislative power. There is a limit on what they can pass though. These are totally different things.

Finally! Someone's challenging Obama about all the picking and choosing what parts of a law (written and signed) to delay and/or implement. I sincerely hope Sen. Mike Lee follows through with this and doesn't let it go. We cannot have an executive branch that continually picks and chooses what laws IT deems fit to be enforced and which ones if feels are inadequate. The most lawless administration in my lifetime.

Jail this traitor and sentence him to life at hard labor without parole!

Excellent job Senator Lee!

I find it ironic that the people who are supposed to be working for the people of this nation can't even answer a simple question. I don't think I have heard anyone, republican or democrat answer any question with a simple answer. Why must they dance around the damn question? Just give a fucking answer!

Thank you for fighting the good fight, Senator Lee! Praying more will join you.

Holder’s hesitation(s) in responding to Lee’s questions and his stumbling answers show that he hadn’t been ‘briefed’ as to what to say and how to back up and support the pres. If he had his leaders’ expertise as an orator he could have weaseled his way around the tough questions.

Get yourself a new president America.

“I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.” James Madison “The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” James Madison

GOD bless u Lee. Thank you for being a voice of reason and of the rule of law.

Take away his damned pen, that is a dictatorship.

*Amazing..Just amazing. I want to pass on my gift of hindsight to Senator Lee who i trust so much & dont blame for this blunder named HOLDER..*

Good job, Senator Lee

Thank You Senator Lee. Finally someone who knows the right questions to ask. Holder, obviously didn't have the answers, but as Obama's yes man, he defended to Obama to the end.

What's most disturbing to me is just how good a liar he is.

Great job, Sen. Lee.

Another American star is burning Bright.

Soon comes an Executive Order to shut down KZfaq for exposing the naked king

There is absolutely no reassuring me of anything that this administration will or will not do Holder...and you can take that to the bank!!!

God Bless Senator Mike Lee!

I don't like how we let democrats get away with the "I don't know" or "I don't remember" answer. I can't stand that. Every time a really solid question is asked, it's always "I don't remember" and then we just move on as though that's an acceptable answer. Other than that, I like what Senator Lee did here.

It gets pretty good around 9:30. Lee delivers a smack-down and holder smirks away any suggestions of "usurpation and lawlessness." I guess I would too if I were part of an usurpatious and lawless administration.

though I really enjoyed Senator Lee's assistance through the late hours the night of Senator Cruz's filibuster...... he was fabulous...!

The "Chief Law Enforcement Officer" of the USA belongs in jail.

Well done. Holder should be in prison. He couldn't know less about his job. His answers are centered on him not knowing anything, or not having done his job. What does he do, what does he know. Give us Lee and McClintock in the white house. Not interested in changing the speed limit on the highway to hell. Interested in changing direction back to the Constitution.

The final half of this is a slaughter. Proud to call Lee my Senator. He crushed Holder.

The difference, wingnut, is that executive orders that defy existing laws passed by Congress, or make up law that Congress has not passed, such as Obama's orders to ignore extant immigration law, are non constitutional are should be met by impeachment.

why do they all act like it isn't going on right now, we need people that respect the law, not talk about it!!!!!!

"Uh, um..." "...that, um..." "Well, um..." Can you say caught flatfooted?

"But I also want to assure you and the American People that the president will not act in a way that is inconsistent with the way other presidents have acted in using their executive authority". This does not mean a damn thing Holder. We don't need your empty assurances. We want you to do your job, not try to cover for the president with empty words. Why would this man even make such meaningless statement? Holder, you are not a god, and therefore your word is insufficient.

This is a form of wiretapping. A normal citizen can get 20 yrs in prison for that why should our Dictator and the NSA be allowed to do this and not be tried for felonious charges?

Yes, saying "I'm going to ignore Congress and established law" is Category One - within his Constitutional powers . . . Why isn't Eric Holder in prison . . . are at least not practicing law for the rest of his life?

This is a joke. He should have known right there.

I'm tired of hearing "I don't know" or "I didn't know" from everyone. It is their JOB to know. How can people who apparently don't know anything ever at all, run a country or even a dept of Govt?

yes......this was a brilliant articulation of sound principal.

love the CIA spook behind holder.

6:30 & 9:30! Absolutely Breathtaking! Would you hire this Attorney to handle your Dog's last Will and Testament? How foolish can an A.G. be? I would have just shut my mouth, and taken the hint...

As the new President of Germany, I promise not to do anything more grievous then any of my predecessors. Now get out of my way, I have decrees to write.

Holder attack Lee by bringing up, 'Respect for your legal analytical skills, uh, including you're clearly your fathers' son' Well, clearly most do not have 'any' respect for Holder's legal skills which he displays here as being of an affirmative action nature

I want to work with Congress....but if they won't work with me then I will ignore them and and do what I want.

The government answer to metadata collection of enormous numbers is simple, build a bigger building and hire more people to house it! Worry about constitutional questions regarding looking at it later!

It is important to note, in this instance, that the action of deferring the mandate was a graduated enforcement in contrast to a refusal to enforce - which is the gravity of the concern here I take it. Had the president stated he refuses to enforce the law indefinitely, almost assuredly this would be a violation unless he deemed it unconstitutional. As such, litigation to that effect would define and limit such actions. This has not occurred to my knowledge, probably because he has not REFUSED to enforce. What the president has done under his Executive Authority provided in the Constitution (The Executive Power shall be vested...) in determining HOW to enforce a duly passed law, to my understanding, is a sensible adjustment to phase-in enforcement, not a refusal to enforce. In fact, current law gives Executive Departments the authority to implement such phased in transitions in certain circumstances. For example, in section 7805(a) of the Internal Revenue Code ("the Secretary [of the Treasury] shall prescribe all needful rules and regulations for the enforcement of this title, including all rules and regulations as may be necessary by reason of any alteration of law in relation to internal revenue"), the Treasury Department is granted the administrative authority to grant transition relief when implementing new legislation. This authority has been used to phase in and postpone the application of new legislation multiple times across administrations (Tax Relief Extension Act of 1999, Small Business and Work Opportunity Act of 2007, Airport and Airway Extension Act, Part IV of 2011, Housing Assistance Tax Act of 2008, etc.) You may cry foul and say what prevents them from indefinitely postponing laws. I would argue the court system does. While current judicial interpretation allows the executive to phase in legislation, it does not allow legislation to be “unreasonably delayed” (Federal Administrative Procedures Act) Another protection is in Heckler v. Chaney where the Court found that if an executive agency has consciously adopted a policy that amounts to abdication of its statutory responsibility, the Court has the obligation to order them to enforce the law.

Holder is literally doing what high school boys do when they have not read the chapter and the teacher calls on them.

They need to change his name sign. Eric Holder is not deserving of having the word Honorable in front of his name. When has he ever told the truth?

"To be honest with you"...Yeah, right Holder

"...acting in a Constitutional way..." Con Law as taught in Law School is not about acting in accordance with the Constitution, but rather how to do what you want by weaseling around the restrictions. This is only necessary as a member of the state as the Constitution places restrictions on the State and not the citizen.

wow Holder have you had the time to do anything? Mainly your job.You sir should be fired!

Nicely done.

Go Mike Lee.

Blub blub blub...😁. Thanks for bringing out his lies!!!

The emperor truly has no clothes.

I love it when Holder says "as we all learned in law school". It is very easy to jab a phony like Mike Lee.

Holy Crap. Holder seems to have absolutely no clue what Lee is talking about. He has never even reviewed the executive orders! He doesn't even seem to know about J. Jackson's scale!! This guy is the worst AJ in modern US history. The worst!!

Yeah, tell that to the Tea Party who got targeted by the IRS.

It is not a question of how many but what they are. He can by executive order raise the pay of certain people working for the govt. He can not by executive order change law that are on the books nor can he make general laws by executive order.

talk is cheap holder, show america the documents that reveal why this legal according you the attorney general, you just saying it doesn't mean shit without proof of why it is.

Are you guys talking about my own court records

it;s about time...

Shameless...

So when is Lee going to question Sessions on tRumps executive orders?

I'd say this is about the first time Holder has heard that there are Categories involved or pertinent to executive orders and that analyses are due in regard to them. Eric, Jr ...learn something today? :)

It's rather ironic watching this after Trumps executive orders in 2019

10:30 for the whole point.

Holder hasn't got a clue what he's even saying, I really think he needs to go to law school, and put the degree he got back in the bubblegum machine!

The bastard Holder always *smirks*..

Eric Holder is a villain.

you know I don't like throwing gas on a fire... and this is going to piss off everyone... but frankly and executive order will likely not have even a fraction of pork a piece of legislation that has drifted ever so slowly through both chambers of congress... test vote after test vote.... deliberating ..... debating .... negotiating behind closed doors..... ensuring nothing is brought to the floor where it would be logged and recorded as congressional record .... don't mean to sound like a agitator but I know I am right... and trust me I am a libertarian and support the bill of rights to the utmost..... but lets not lie to each other.... those fucks in both chambers are nothing more than thieves...

eric holder is pathetic. GOOD JOB LEE! keep up the fight!

Mike Lee?? More like Bruce Lee with this beat down!

Nice "song & dance" Holder! And by the way, you opinion stated at the end of this vid is incorrect AND irrelevant.

YT: Nullification is the Rightful Remedy Jury Nullification The Silver Tour

not gonna lie, even though i think holder is a despicable human being, i think he is very slick

I have a man crush on Mike Lee now.

mike lee is the man

SNEATOR?

Mike lee you must bow to the dictator....HAAAA JK Keep doing what your doing Mike :)

Constitution? What Constitution?

I don't know if it is funny or sad but it is one of tha other and I am leaning more on sad. It is sad that I can out talk this guy in my sleep along with tha rest of them, some people just are not interesting. Sad, me out talking this guy, VERY SAD :(

Lies all lies

I know nothing.....nuuuthing......
