WASHINGTON – Senate Republicans, who acted like lions in challenging Eric Holder, turned into lambs Wednesday as they joined Democrats in recommending President Barack Obama's choice for attorney general.
The Judiciary Committee voted 17-2 to endorse Holder, with two Republicans opposing the nomination — John Cornyn of Texas and Tom Coburn of Oklahoma. The Senate could vote as early as Thursday to confirm Holder as the first African-American to lead the Justice Department.
Committee Republicans and Democrats described Holder as experienced, independent, tough on crime and opposed to torture. Holder has served as a federal prosecutor, judge, U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia and deputy attorney general in Bill Clinton's presidency. Senators also said the nominee was an individual willing to acknowledge his mistakes. Senate committee OKs Holder for attorney general - Yahoo! NewsOn a personal note I have seen Eric up close during a campaign and I have to say that he is one of the most stand up humans that I have ever known and the voice of reason just got some leg, shoulders and a mustache. I am sure there is a blog about Federal Staches in here...........
btw The bad guys just tinkled in their shorts.
ps note the @ our service in title --Mr AG we will demand rights from the people's government that are expressed and yet somehow not handed out without a few teeth of federalism havin to be pry'd loose along the way and that is not right and I know you know it.
