Holder for a judge-ship?

I bet Obama got wind of a pending SCOTUS retirement and told Holder he'll be first up for a nomination if he'll step down as AG to keep some of the heat off the dems in November.

The confirmation hearings would be, uh, tempestuous. Worse than Clarence Thomas or Robert Bork.

-—A sign fur sure-—can you imagine the paper shredding that is going on? Not to mention hard drive torching? There might be enough honest folks left at DOJ to actually slow the cleanup which would be my guess as to why the jerkopff is hanging around.

“Give it time; I wager Obama is already making plans to bail the country after 2016 ends and he knows he has to go.”

It wouldn’t matter, he can’t hide forever.

Just ask Whitey Bulger, or bin laden.

The rumor I heard is that Holder wants to stay until after the celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act this year.

It will be easier for the Dems to get a radical replacement confirmed in the Senate this year than it will be after the election, or in the runup to 2016.

Holder has been there a long time already. He may be tired and want to cash in, or they may need to change him out because of his baggage. Whatever the reason, indications are that the Senate will be less favorable to the Dems after the election - maybe even a real obstacle.

Holder should not be allowed to resign. He should be tried, convicted and sentenced for his felonious, treasonous conduct in relation to the Constitution.

Personally I believe he should be locked up and the key thrown away.

He should have faced impeachment because of his public, racist remarks made on the day after his confirmation, thereby confirming that Holder is a Black Power Nationalist, one who is a clear and present danger as a fascist:

In 2009, Holder claimed that “though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial, we have always been and we — I believe continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards.”

Holder is a coward. Resigning before the hammer falls on him.

Obama would issue a blanket pardon to Holder before any trial could take place. The president has the absolute power of the pardon.
Only one two term president in the 20th or 21st century had only one Attorney General for both terms: Clinton with Janet Reno.

He'll continue to be a destructive force in our country. He will go on to foundation work or some other NWO order backed venture.

We are never rid of these people, it seems.

Holder has had an interesting career.

“After graduating from law school, Holder joined the U.S. Justice Department’s new Public Integrity Section during an interval lasting from 1976 to 1988. During his time there, he assisted in the prosecution of Democratic Congressman John Jenrette for bribery discovered in the Abscam sting operation.

In 1988, Ronald Reagan appointed Holder to serve as a judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia.

Holder stepped down from the bench in 1993 to accept an appointment as United States Attorney for the District of Columbia from President Bill Clinton. At the beginning of his tenure, he oversaw the conclusion of the corruption case against Democratic Congressman Dan Rostenkowski, part of the Congressional Post Office scandal. He was a U.S. Attorney until his elevation to Deputy Attorney General in 1997.”—Wikipedia

Which also can be grounds for impeachment. Whats wrong, lost your edge?

Its time for the GOP to attack, about 4 years past time.
