Eric Holder is a man who plans ahead.
He is obviously looking forward to the time when he and Obama will be convicted felons.

I wonder who he thinks they will vote for? Let me think about that a while, ahem, tough call.
Eric Holder wants millions of convicted felons to vote, urging states to change existing laws.
Holder Urges States to Repeal Bans on Felons’ Voting:
Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. on Tuesday urged states to repeal laws that prohibit felons from voting, a move that would restore the right to vote to millions of people.The call was mostly symbolic — Mr. Holder has no authority to enact these changes himself — but it marked the attorney general’s latest effort to eliminate laws that he says disproportionately keep minorities from the polls. “It is unwise, it is unjust, and it is not in keeping with our democratic values,” Mr. Holder said at civil rights conference at Georgetown University. These laws deserve to be not only reconsidered, but repealed.”
African-Americans represent more than a third of the estimated 5.8 million people who are prohibited from voting, according to the Sentencing Project, a research group that favors more liberal sentencing policies. And in Florida, Kentucky, and Virginia, more than one in five African-Americans has lost the right to vote.
There may be a more severe impact on minority communities, but that’s a function of the convictions, not the voting laws.
Perhaps there should be a waiting period, or lifetime exclusions only for certain levels of criminal convictions.
Regardless, I think it’s probably going nowhere.
Because when isn't it about race with these guys?
Is there any chance we can make him a felon so that he can understand the process better?
I’m soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo shocked!
Given that 95% of felons are Democrat, I am not shocked.
Of course he does. Felons are ALL DemocRATS. Criminal and corrupt. If anyone has figured that out, it’s their “homie”, Holder.
If they want to vote they can move to a state that allows it and commit their crimes there.
Wow, first 0bamacare delays, now another politically motivated stunt ahead of the 2014 midterms. What a coincidence.
Well shouldn’t felons also have their 2nd Amendment rights restored, Mr. Eric the Black?
Why is one right more important than another?
Democrats for felons........the only demographic group proven to make bad decisions!
BTW, a DWI in America can be a misdemeanor but if you try to travel to Canada, you may be rejected entry as that conviction is treated as a felony there.
Clearly some felons are more equal than others in the Just Us Department's worldview. Oh wait, it's just a matter of what serves The Party's interests.
does this mean ALL rights restored. (ie all enumerated in the constitution WITHOUT EXCEPTION)?
Dim pol’s are pretty much felons at heart anyway, whether or not they have been convicted.
So of course they want their own ilk to vote.
A new day, a new reason to regret waking up and going to work.
Virginia AG decides to ignore VA laws in 3, 2, 1 .....

thinking about his own future (and that of his boss)?

I’d rather restore the right to vote for dead people - the ones killed by many of the felons he now wants to get voting rights for.
Here’s an alternative headline: “Nation’s Top Cop Says Let Criminals Help Pick Sheriffs.”
