?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.

If the GOP takes the Senate, the confirmation process could be complicated and thwart Obama's nominee. The timing will depend on the midterms.

“Next stop: SCOTUS. Bank on it.”

Exactly. Must be nominated and confirmed by the Senate before the new senators take office in january - just in case the majority flips.

I went from joy to dread in the time it took me to read your post.

God help us all if that becomes reality.

He isn’t leaving any time soon.

“as soon as his successor is confirmed, a process that could run through 2014 and even into next year”

I won’t celebrate even though I’m relieved to see him go. I remember that Kerry followed Clinton causing a big argument in my family as to was the worst of the two. It does make the Senate election more interesting and important.

Job goes to a Hispanic of some kind. Who is also female or gay, or transexual or lesbian. Might even be an Hispanic from Samoa or the Aleutian Islands if these is such a thing
