Eric Holder To Step Down As Attorney General

about damn time
almost as bad as alberto gonzales and i thought that was near impossible
Obama is a terrible judge of talent

Actually, it is NOT possible.

Gonzales was SUCH a dick.

Were I in Congress when that little sh!t and his stupid, little smile appeared before me...I would have (hopefully) walked over to him and punched him in the face right on C-Span.
 
Eric Holder to Resign As Attorney General, Official Says - NBC News


Eric Holder to Resign As Attorney General, Official Says

Attorney General Eric Holder plans to announce Thursday that he will resign after nearly six years, a Justice Department official told NBC News.

Holder plans to stay on the job until a successor is confirmed, the official said.


So, he is stepping down the same day as this comes out?:

Judge Denies DOJ Request to Delay Release of Fast and Furious Document List

U.S. District Court Judge John D. Bates has denied a request from the Department of Justice to delay the release of a list of Operation Fast and Furious documents being protected under President Obama's assertion of executive privilege.

Ah, just a coincidence. .
 
He's held a pretty long tenure. Regardless if this has much to do with any forthcoming controversies (I'm skeptical about that), but he's done a substantial job, along with Gonzales and Ashcroft.
 
Articles of Impeachment originate in Congress, specifically, from the Speaker of the House.

Effectively, the next A.G. is going to be working under a very strong likely hood of needing to investigate the President and his cabinet for crimes associated with, but not limited to the IRS abuse, Fast and Furious, Benghazi Lies, ObamaCare Lies, ObamaCare legislation modification...

Consequently, the same organization which is responsible for reviewing and deciding Impeachment of Obama should select the next A.G. to prevent a conflict of interest in the required investigations.
 
The Next A.G. should be nominated by the Speaker of the House, due to the conflict of interests in future A.G. investigations and prosecutions against Eric Holder and his co-Conspirators, including President Obama.

That is just about the single dumbest thing I have come across so far this week.
 
You know that you've onto the right track when the Lefties squawk in this fashion.

On the contrary, I find your suggestion an example of an infection of democracy in the executive branch.

The attorney general is the President's post to pick, not the House. If you want such demagogic liberalism in the executive branch, I pity you.

Well, if the goal was to divide the nation along race and class lines, apply laws unfairly, pick and choose among the laws he would enforce according to their effect on cronies and enemies, and protect Democrat crooks and corrupt government officials at all costs then I'd say he has been a tremendous success.
 
No matter who takes Holder's place or what that person does he or she will face the same attacks from the right that Holder has endured.

Don't take my word for this,just wait and see.


If he provides the same kind of politically driven, racially divisive position as Holder, you can count on it!

The President has been a Co-Conspirator in illegal actions by the Last A.G..

The office of the A.G. must be responsible for the investigations into those violations of the law... so, the President must recuse himself from being involved in the next A.G. selection process.

The logical alternative person to make the nominations is the Speaker of the House.

If this were an issue about one of George Bush's Major Stock Ownership Oil Companies being under investigation, no one would question for a second that Dubya, while normally allowed to nominate the A.G. would have to fore go that option, because of the conflict of interest.

Well, the next A.G. will be investigating the President, so President Obama should not be allowed to be part of the process.

This has many, many, many presidents in America Law.

Then encourage the House to impeach or have the Senate put him on trial. Otherwise, you are advocating for removing more barriers between the democratic representatives (the House) and the authoritarian branch (the executive). I want to have an expressed limit on democracy in our government.

If Eric Holder, and his associates in the Executive Branch had not openly, blatantly, repeatedly, broken the LAW, we would not be here.

But we are!

And the Conflict of Interest in having President Obama be involved in the selection of the next A.G. is clear, obvious, and by legal president, he should recuse himself, or be FORCED by Congress, to be removed, from the selection process of the next A.G.

Otherwise, we will not have an open, fair, and just investigation into the abuses by A.G. Holder and his associates, including President Obama.

We have not done this before, simply because, No other American President has made this Necessary!

Either you follow our government or you don't. That's the rules, don't erode executive action.

Exactly!

If your nomination authority is compromised by a Conflict of Interest, then following the rules means you recuse yourself from the activity, and let the next logical person in the Executive Chain of Command, in this case, the Speaker of the House, do the duty of the Nomination instead!

We saw this in the SCOTUS recently, when one of the Justices Recused themselves in a case which they had participated in presenting to the court a few years early.

She ate a corn muffin?

Why has that not been on NPR? It's a conspiracy

This is why I say the nomination hearings for the replacement are gong to make fine theater.
 
Holder will love to be remember as a "Martyr of the liberal cause to destroy the nation and destroy the politcal system that will now not allow any challenging of the one party control of the liberal agenda"... in the world of stupidity and hate of the USA Holder will be viewed as a victim and should be coddled for what he did to advance the cause and a "good martyr"

this is what the whole Obama admin is about.. "politcal terrorism"...each a martyr .they each feel they are "doing what needs to be done to piece by piece to destroy the USA" and should be celebrated for the selfless service to alinsky's mission..

there is NO DOUBT of this

anyone dare challenge me on this? good luck..

The President appoints the AG. Always has, in addition to any other Cabinet post.

Besides which, I really don't think Boehner wants the headache of getting his nominee through the Senate with an election in 6 weeks.

Have you ever read a civics textbook?

The president "picks" no one, this is not a game of pick up b-ball. According to the constitution Congress is there to "advise and consent" to nominations suggested by the president. There is no provision, as you seem to suggest, that congress is in any way obliged to do what is demanded by the president, and history shows the reverse...many nominations get turfed by congress because they didn't like the nominee.

Obama and his followers would like to think he has the powers of Stalin, but the truth is he and them only show their ignorance of the basics of governance.
