Florida to Eric Holder: Go pound sand

Florida is getting the Arizona treatment when it comes to the Department of Justice. After removing a bunch of deceased voters from the rolls, Florida heard from one of Eric Holder's minions, who essentially said, cease and desist. That's right, further proof of the despicable level of corruption at the highest levels of our government; Holder wants dead people on the voter rolls.

Florida has responded with a gesture involving two body parts - a thumb and a nose.

Via Stand with Arizona:

Florida has drawn a line in the sand which must be adopted by every state against an Attorney General and administration which is increasingly abusing and distorting the law to stop efforts to keep illegal voters away from the polls this November.

The Department of Justice this week demanded that Florida immediately cease its current massive purge of non-citizens and dead persons from its voter rolls, absurdly citing the outdated and outmoded Voting Rights Act of 1965. Well, now Florida has refused, saying it will not give up its efforts to make sure only legal citizens can vote.

Here is Florida's official response:

“We have an obligation to make sure the voter rolls are accurate and we are going to continue forward and do everything that we can legally do to make sure that ineligible voters cannot vote,” said Chris Cate, a spokesman for Detzner. “We are firmly committed to doing the right thing and preventing ineligible voters from being able to cast a ballot. We are not going to give up our efforts to make sure the voter rolls are accurate.”

Speaker Boehner, how about you take a lesson from those with less power than you, who are actually standing up to Eric Holder, and issue that contempt order in Fast and Furious?
