Let's hear these un-American right wing BS'ers out. In fact let's invite the man who is spearheading their effort to testify to Holder's deficiencies in front of the Judiciary Committee. Then while they're at it they can clear up some other old business with Mr. Rove, and at the end of that, bind him over for trial. C’mon, folks! Let’s hear these un-American right wing BS’ers out.

Nothing like kicking on the top law enforcement officer of the land in the middle of all these investigations. These are the people that gave us Palin, go figure.

That said, I don't think Holder's the best for the job. Obama should've gone with...Patrick Fitzgerald. A tough US Attorney with an impeccable reputation who goes after gov't crooks regardless of party. Of course, that's damn near impossible now..

I saw something somewhere else that was pointing out that it looks like Republicans would like to chew up Holder over the Marc Rich pardon in order to create a counter-narrative to upcoming Bush pardons, a la "see, they do bad pardons too!" In any case, he's the one they'll want to try to discredit in the media, since he's sure to be coming out with plenty of interesting information about the Bushites over the next eight years.
