The announcement Thursday of the resignation of Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. touched off questions about his replacement and the timing of any Senate confirmation, given the possibility of a Republican takeover of the Senate in January.
Under changes in Senate rules, administration nominees need only a majority of votes to clear procedural hurdles, preventing Republicans from blocking an attorney general pick by denying the 60 votes usually needed to overcome a filibuster.

And then he'll pray the confirmation hearings are polarizing enough for the media to frame, in their typical style, to get the vote out in november.
Kimba Wood? Zoe Baird?
And Al Sharpton is on Obama’s nomination committee. Heaven help us.
Yeah but they’ve already made their selection and Holder’s heading for The Supremes!
Everyone needs to remember Zero and his minions' need to be "Historic." Hispanic and woman have already been done.
Maybe Obama will dress up Eric Holder in drag, like Flip Wilson, and then nominate Erica Holder for the position. Then Holder, as Erica, can sit there in a wig and a dress and talk about how honest and wonderful and handsome Eric Holder is.
If that happened, the NY Times would write articles about the intransigent Republicans and their insane, sexist and racist conspiracy theories about the origins of Erica Holder.
It's all stream of consciousness here, just go with me...
I don’t think he would waste McCaskill as while she would be replaced with a Democrat, that Democrat could not win an election.
It will be an unheard of woman, with a backstory of hardship, single mom and or a baby killer and maybe even a lesbian with a baby or adopted baby.
He needs some major distraction and there would be no distraction like a Senate confirmation hearing for a far left, lesbian mother who is married to another woman and has an abortion story and maybe even a sexual harassment story.
This will be all brought to you commercial free by Obama-DNC Productions and CNN, Fox and MSNBC.
Isn’t it time somebody hire Craig Livingstone again?!
Obama will nominate a real wacko this time, either female or african american.

***Kamala Harris, AG-California
Read 27. It will be some variation of that post or rather simplified in order to piss off liberal women and get them to the polls.
It would be great if they had to confirm a new candidate within 30 days.
Perfect - a twofer.
It will be Hillary!
She will then have direct access to FBI and NSA records.
Other 2016 contenders will drop out with ‘Prostate Cancer’
She will also be in just the right place to force Biden out
prior to 2016 with a ‘Brain tumor’. It would be an easy step from AG to VP. She will have covered all the bases for her POTUS run as Senator, Sec State, AG, and VP.
Be interesting to see how he’s going to be paid for past services or does he just take possession of the offshore accounts?
Can he up the assistant AG to the post temporarily??
First Black AG...and first AG to be held in contempt of Congress. Imagine...225 years...
Obama wants the confirmation battle to be ugly and wants to fire up the base. He'll want a hardcore bastard with a lofty leftist history, so they can make a big show of him bravely facing down Republican questioning.
And the Republicans will cower and back down.
Bingo
They would continue to `go along to get along’.
It’s like having Pee Wee Herman for a champion.
