Eric Holder Jr., the nation's first black U.S. attorney general, is preparing to announce his resignation Thursday after a tumultuous tenure marked by civil rights advances, national security threats, reforms to the criminal justice system and five and a half years of fights with Republicans in Congress.
Two sources familiar with the decision tell NPR that Holder, 63, intends to leave the Justice Department as soon as his successor is confirmed, a process that could run through 2014 and even into next year. A former U.S. government official says Holder has been increasingly "adamant" about his desire to leave soon for fear he otherwise could be locked in to stay for much of the rest of President Obama's second term.

YEAH!
Another commie down!
Looks like the polls are really really really bad for Demon Rats.
Under the bus you go, Eric.
This is a prime example of closing the barn door after all the cows have run away!!!
Holder will not be on SCOTUS.
He’s first up for indictment and impeachment so it’s probably appropriate.
The new Senate doesn’t take office until January 2015. The lame duck session will be used. Since Reid invoked the nuclear option on confirmations so that only 51 votes are needed, Obama’s nominee will sail thru.
Nah, if the GOP wins back the Senate, despite its ineptitude, it will rush through a confirmation in the lame duck session—so fewer Senators in line for eventual reelection will have to vote in favor of Barry’s nominee.
“Holder hurting Obama’s poll numbers , LOL, no I go with Health Problems”
Maybe all those “Holder Pincushion Dolls” are beginning to impact him!
So who will be the new thug in charge?
A Republican controlled Senate could (but probably won't) refuse to confirm a far left wing replacement.
Next stop: SCOTUS. Bank on it.
Nope. Book deal and rubber chicken public speaking circuit. He will rake in millions. He he has to bail now because he will get much bigger bribes for that “work” with the kenyan still in the WH.
Rolling on the flood laughing my ass off... hell would freeze over before the MSM would mention that...
Timing—
Time to be indicted and then pardoned by 0
Free as a bird!
Another reason to dump Harry Reid.
We must take the Senate to stop a worse appointment.
See my post #68. Under Reid, it only takes 51 to confirm cabinet positions. If, and it is a big If, the Reps take the Senate, you can expect a flood of confirmations during the lame duck session.
Good riddance, but whoever replaces him will probably be worse. “Hell to pay” and all that.
and most likely an ardent communist and muslim sympathizer too.
