Excerpt:
Attorney General Eric Holder, America’s top law enforcement officer, will tender his resignation on Thursday, a U.S. Department of Justice official has confirmed.
‘Attorney General Holder has discussed his plans personally with the president on multiple occasions in recent months, and finalized those plans in an hour-long conversation with the president at the White House residence over Labor Day weekend,’ the official told reporters.
The embattled leader of the U.S. Department of Justice aims to step down as soon as the Senate confirms his replacement. President Barack Obama is expected to formalize the announcement at the White House at 4:30 p.m.
National Public Radio was first to report the news on Thursday
‘At a formal announcement later today, the attorney general plans to express his personal gratitude to the president for the opportunity to serve in his administration and to lead the Justice Department, which he will call the ‘greatest honor of my professional life’,’ the DOJ official said.

Are you actually citing a tabloid as a news source, Bruce?

Lucas, as owner of this site, can do as he pleases regarding our resident obots. Whatever he wants to do is fine with me.
Personally, I have always preferred to just IGNORE them totally. Our astute readers can, for the most part I hope, see them for what they are by THEIR OWN, USUALLY STUPID POSTS here.
After all, why should I let some typically anonymous ‘jerk off’ (your characterization) waste my time and add some annoying distraction to my otherwise normally good day.
— and I really did have a GOOD day today. Last Monday 9/22, I bought one (1) ‘slightly in the money’ option contract for a 199.5 strike Put (expiration date: 10/24/2014) @$280 on SPY (an ETF for the SP-500). SPY was trading @ about 199 at that time. I sold the contract today 9/25, just 3 days later, at $387 for a profit of $107 (about 38% return ) not including a slight loss due to commissions. SPY was trading at about 197 when the contract was sold. Leverage was about 45x. Risky, but challenging and fun!
NO TIME FOR OBOTS!

Waste of time. BR’s admin is terrified of dissenting opinions, and regularly scrubs the site of anything that isn’t anti-Obama. Curiously, he seems to have no problem with portrayals of bestiality, and all sorts of homo-erotic descriptive language. That’s very telling, if you ask me.
@ Langolier: Yeah but you go there every day to read don’t you? Just too scared to post any of your crap there. Your doc conspiracy and faggy post there and take it but you just don’t have the balls do you sock puppet?
I usually only pay attention to the articles that have the most hyperbole laden headlines. That’s where the juicy, fun to read, birther in-fighting is! Because there are birthers who have stopped taking everything the used car salesman says, at face value. Birthers eat their own, and its pure sweet schadenfreude for the rest of us.

Excerpt:
In a nation where there is a scarcity of good news, hearing Eric Holder give a farewell speech upon his announcement that he will be leaving as the Attorney General was surely welcome in some circles. I was never a fan of his because he was in my opinion always more of a politician than someone with the responsibility to enforce the laws of the nation.
I first took notice of Holder when, in the pre-dawn hours of April 22, 2000, as the deputy attorney general serving under Janet Reno, he oversaw the seizure of Elian Gonzalez, a seven-year-old whose mother had died in an effort to escape Cuba and find sanctuary in the United States. Holder was doing what he had to do after a court ruled that Gonzalez be returned to his father in Cuba, but I thought then and still do that Gonzalez should have been allowed to remain with his U.S. relatives.
When Barack Obama became President, he selected Holder as his Attorney General. Both had made history being the first blacks to hold either job. Within three weeks or so, Holder was saying that Americans were “cowards” for not addressing issues of race in America. That told me all I needed to know about him. Whatever would follow would frequently be judged on the basis of race, not justice. I wouldn’t want a white attorney general to act in that fashion, but a black one nursing feelings of victimization despite his personal achievements did not bode well.
I have not been alone in my misgivings. On news of Holder’s announcement, The Heartland Institute, a free market think tank, called on some of its advisors for their opinions.
Ronald D. Rotunda, the Doy & Dee Henley Chair and Distinguished Professor of Jurisprudence at Chapman University, had his own memories of Holder:
“Holder will leave the office, but is unlikely to leave the national stage because these controversies remain,” said Prof. Rotunda.
Jane M. Orient, M.D., Executive Director of the Association of Physicians and Surgeons, said:
Jesse Hathaway, Managing Editor of Heartland’s Budget & Tax News, said:
Holder’s instincts as Attorney General generated a huge public outcry when he decided to try the September 11 plotters in a New York courthouse within walking distance of the destroyed Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. Lawmakers, New York City officials, and some of the victim’s families thought that was a very bad idea and Holder reversed the decision and sent the cases to military court. 9/11 was clearly an act of war, but neither the President, nor Holder saw it that way.
Holder made a bit of history when he refused to defend a law that defined marriage as between a man and a woman. He made more history when, refusing to hand over documents regarding Fast and Furious, a scandal involving gun trafficking to Mexican drug cartels, Congress voted to hold him in contempt, the first time an attorney general had been censured in that way. Holder, however, held onto his job because the President had thrown a cloak of “executive privilege” over the scandal, stonewalling Congress.
To be fair, Holder has been lauded for policies that were applauded for reducing crime during his tenure in office and urging a revision to sentences that did not reflect the crimes, reducing the nation’s prison population in the process.
In the end, though, it seems like everything was about race for him and the President. Holder inserted himself into the Ferguson, Missouri, shooting of a black youth by a white police officer and, while the facts are still being investigated, the likelihood is that it was justifiable self-defense. And the President, speaking at the United Nations last week also mentioned Ferguson as an example of America’s racial bias. What happened in Ferguson was about law enforcement and justice, but neither saw it in that fashion.

Not sure why birthers see Holder leaving as significant to their cause. Its not like Obama is going to about some right wing nut job to take his place or anything.

Birthers, like every other RWNJ, are patting themselves on the back for “forcing” Holder’s resignation. Despite the fact that his tenure has been one of the longest in the history of the office.
It’s the usual post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy.
@ Bruce:
>>> I . T . B . ( I . T . D . B . ) IT IS TOO DAMN BAD THAT eric ” witholder ” SHOULD EVEN BE ALLOWED TO RESIGN AND WALK AWAY SCOT FREE . HE SHOULD BE INDICTED FOR HIGH CRIMES , MISDEMEANORS AND VIOLATION OF OUR CONSTITUTION , PLUS HE SHOULD AND PROBABLY WILL BE HELD IN CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS FOR SEVERAL FAILURES . <<<
Hey LDS! Since you failed to capture that person you claim the Dominican Republic sent you to find, I take it they’ll be shipping you off to Kenya any day now? Or, will at the last moment, some strange new development unfold? One that requires Bruce Steadman cutting you another check, to avert some terrible fate?
