Eric Holder Jr., the nation's first black U.S. attorney general, is preparing to announce his resignation Thursday after a tumultuous tenure marked by civil rights advances, national security threats, reforms to the criminal justice system and five and a half years of fights with Republicans in Congress.
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. A former U.S. government official says Holder has been increasingly "adamant" about his desire to leave soon for fear he otherwise could be locked in to stay for much of the rest of President Obama's second term.

Eric Holder resigning. Here’s to hoping for blind justice again and not racist justice.

Eric Holder Jr., the nation's first black U.S. attorney general, is preparing to announce his resignation Thursday after a tumultuous tenure marked by selective law enforcement, failure to prosecute any of numerous lawbreakers within the administration, openly urging citizens to violate laws he didn't agree with and five and a half years of fights with Republicans in Congress. Edited to remove liberal bias.

Holder was on the news at least 4-5 months ago and said he was leaving before the new year.

He may try for SCOTUS...But with his baggage...
I would hope that if the republidiots get the Senate back, they won’t even try...

He already made his millions during and after the Clinton years. His desire is for power. He will be the next SCOTUS nominee.

Thanks. A couple of Democrat Senators up in 2016 may be hesitant to vote for Barry’s Leftists, however.
