If Ginsberg retires as soon as Holder resigns, and there’s a lame duck with Reid in charge, and they already have invoked the nuclear option, then we could have Holder as a Scotus justice by December.
It is possible to prevent that just because the time is so short. Hearings, committees, etc. make that a hard thing to do..
However, if the democrats keep the Senate, then there is no way to prevent Holder from becoming a supreme court justice.
I don’t think Obama is going to nominate Holder to the Supreme Corurt. If he did, then Holder would be required to answer a lot of questions about Fast and Furious and the IRS scandal and the hearings could be a huge embarrassment to Obama. Obama has been using Holder’s stonewalling to protect him for the last 5 years.
My guess is that Holder will go on a nice long vacation away from the subpoena power of Congress and disappear until after the 2016 elections.
Bernadette Dorn stands a better chance of being nominated than Eric Holder.
It’s going to be a black female. Obama has a thing for nominating bleeding heart liberal women.
