Eric Holder To Step Down As Attorney General The Two-Way NPR

Eric Holder Jr., the nation's first black U.S. attorney general, is preparing to announce his resignation Thursday after a tumultuous tenure marked by civil rights advances, national security threats, reforms to the criminal justice system and five and a half years of fights with Republicans in Congress.

Two sources familiar with the decision tell NPR that Holder, 63, intends to leave the Justice Department as soon as his successor is confirmed, a process that could run through 2014 and even into next year. A former U.S. government official says Holder has been increasingly "adamant" about his desire to leave soon for fear he otherwise could be locked in to stay for much of the rest of President Obama's second term....

Makes you wonder why?

He could be replaced by someone even worse. It's too soon to cheer that the most hated man in America will be gone. Especially if the reason he is leaving is to make a challenge to Hillary Clinton for president.

Policies wouldn't change, but Al would be a damn site more entertaining.

Any guesses who might replace him?

Too bad Obama lacks the courage to do so.

Would it really matter?

I don't see how that is possible, quite honestly.

Do you think he left to devote all his time and energies preparing his own upcoming legal defense?
