“Specter has run into a Leahy roadblock in his attempts to get some of the background documents on the nomination. Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy has refused to sign off on document requests by Republicans relevant to the hearing from the Department of Justice and the Clinton administration archives at the library in Little Rock.
This is — according to Republican staff sources — enormously frustrating to Specter.”
That is because Specter is an idiot. He should do everything possible to block this miscreant’s appointment as the highest law-enforcement officer in the nation.
If the Republicans are unable to block Holder’s appointment, they should just go home and stay there for the next four years. They will have become totally irrelevant.
I thought I read a post here last night saying that Arlen has just agreed to confirm Holder. I don’t know if it’s true, but it wouldn’t surprise me one bit.

I agree. If they can’t block Holder, they care indeed irrelevant and we are indeed royally in deep sh*t.
