Both KS Senators voted against Holder. No wonder the RATS here are trying so hard to steal a senate seat with a Trojan horse candidate.(Who’s a crooked big-bank millionaire, to boot)

You've got to watch Cornyn like a hawk, though. He's famous for voting in favor of cloture to move an issue or nomination forward to it's inevitable passage by Reid's 'Rats and then ostentatiously voting 'no' after it's a lost cause. In the case of Holder's nomination, it was moved to the floor for final vote by unanimous consent so all those voting 'no' on the floor had, in effect, already voted 'yes' by virtue of their failing to object to unanimous consent.

Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry's Sister on Timing of Holder Resignation: "Not a Coincidence" Katie Pavlich 9/25/2014 Townhall

In light of a federal judge denying a request from the Department of Justice to delay the release of a long-sought after Fast and Furious document list, the sister of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, Kelly Terry-Willis, doesn't find the timing of Attorney General Eric Holder's resignation to be a coincidence.

"I do not find it a coincidence that Eric Holder chose now to resign after Judge Bates denied the request from the DOJ to delay the release of the Fast and Furious documents. I personally think Eric Holder was really hoping that the documents would never be made public to my family and the American people," Terry-Willis tells Townhall. "Will we ever get the accountability for my brother, Brian, Jaime Zapata and every other person who lost their lives to the guns from this horrific scandal? I don't know, but I have a serious gut feeling when we finally see what is in those documents....the dynamics of this investigation are going to change and hopefully the people involved are brought to justice. Eric Holder can run, but there will be no hiding. The truth always reveals itself."

In a separate statement put out on behalf of the Brian Terry Foundation, family spokesman Ralph Terry says Holder's resignation is welcomed.
