Goldman Non-Prosecution: AG Eric Holder Has No Balls

I was hardly shocked either when I read about this before I got to Matt’s page. Indeed, I would have been shocked if it were otherwise.
Holder’s non-decision on Goldman is more than unsurprising. It amounts to an official announcement that the government is no longer in the business or prosecuting smart criminals. It’s pathetic. The one thing you pay any lawyer to have is balls, and our nation’s top attorney has none.
I include this here just because I like Matt’s writing style and want to encourage my reader(s) to take a look at his article. This is just more of the same oligarchical police state, so really, there is nothing ‘interesting’ here at all. I was having a discussion with a friend last night about how earlier in our country’s history there were frontiers where people could go make their fortune which lead to a bit of turnover at the top. That turnover has pretty much ceased and in my outlook we are entering a feudal era. Feudalism is a rather unfortunately stable form of government (it lasted thousands of years in China), so I am not optimistic about our future.
