My first thought was he knows about several big terrorist hit plans and he just doesn't want to deal with them. Second thought was all the charges against him, potential indictments, etc. Third (and probably it) was it has to be tied in with the election. Obama does everything in relation to power and elections. The SCOTUS idea didn't hit me initially. I felt a pang of nausea when I read it here. I can't even wrap my head around the thought of him sitting with the supremes. . If that's the plan, they'll wait until after November. .

I keep getting back to the idea that 70% (is it higher now) of the American people think the country is going in the wrong direction. Why do we do nothing when the country is being run by communist racist thugs?

Rush just said, re Holder's replacement, "I don't think it matters, he'll just be an ideological clone."

Will there ever be a really qualified white male as AG again, or does the 'really qualified white male' part disqualify him automatically?

SCOTUS. Bank on it.

Too old at 63 to appoint. Dems are smarter than that, they'll prefer a radical in their early 50's

Holder must stay through the 2014 elections in order to provide cover for the Democrat-Socialist Party “poll watchers” (a.k.a., the New Negro Panthers)

“now maybe we can get someone honest in there who will start prosecuting the black panthers!”

HAHAHA, yeah, Obama is going to hire someone like that.

“... 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.”

Translation: “I ain’t goin’ down with THIS ship!”

Without exception, every single person who has stepped down from a position in the Obama administration has been replaced by someone even worse. Be careful what you wish for.

Re replacing Holder, MA Gov. Deval Patrick said, “That’s an enormously important job but it’s not one for me right now.”

Translation: “Let some cracker take the blame while he’s cleaning up that mess. I’d definitely be interested once that was done.”

What makes you think it matters if we get the Senate back? Will GOP senate leadership have more fortitude than House GOP leadership?

If we get control of the Senate it’ll be by a slim margin. Obama will nominate someone completely ridiculous, like Al Sharpton. The senate will nix that nomination. Obama will nominate someone else just as bad, say Jesse Jackson. The senate will nix him too.

At that point, Obamas media sycophants will start driving the “obstructionist republicans” and “Presidents should be able to nominate who they want” stories.

Then Obama nominates a REAL loon candidate knowing the Senate GOP leaders will fold. Or a “Gang of seven” will form to push the nominee through.

In short, controlling the Senate only gives us power to stop Obamas ridiculous nominees for as long as GOP leaders can take the heat for doing so. History says that is not long.

If that’s the case, why would Reid wait til after the elections? He can just do it now.

Holder probably has gotten the news that Mike Brown ( the gentle giant) case will be in the favor of the police, and with all the other messes he is in has decided to cut and run.

News should be coming out soon concerning the Feds investigation into the Ferguson shooting.

And there is the possibility of a SCOTUS appointment --

God Forbid, indeed!!

I also doubt the theory that obongo is thinks the spinate is lost therefore holder is leaving. If the spinate is lost all the more reason for him to stay and obstruct justice.

He is leaving to make money and cash in.

Will he run for president?
He has many excellent democrat qualifications.
Obama could dump crazy uncle Joe and Holder could cruise right into
the nomination.
