[Attorney General Eric] Holder said he would remain in office until a successor was confirmed.So the Republicans have a choice: They can try to obstruct the hell out of the appointment of his successor, in which case, Holder isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Or, if they want to get him out of there, they can suck it up and confirm the appointment of his successor.
The Democrats didn't have this issue when Gonzo the Inept resigned, for he specified a "gone by" date in his resignation letter.
AAh, Alberto Gonzalez. Lied to Congress. Hired people into civil service posts based solely on whether or not they were "good Bushies". Authorized the use of torture. Expanded warrantless surveillance of Americans. Thought that the Right to Habeus Corpus could be suspended at the whim of the President. A guy who was so toxic in the job that he he lasted only three years and was pretty much run out of town on a rail for his role in politicized hiring and firing.
Yep, that's the guy that the Winguts think was a better AG.
