Faiza Patel, Al Jazeera America
Patel writes: "The problem, as President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder have acknowledged, is a national one that extends well beyond the fates of those two men.

Paul Waldman, The Washington Post
Waldman writes: "The idea of disinviting Obama from delivering the State of the Union address is apparently gaining currency on the right.
