Rock, Meet Hard Place
How interesting it will be: Rs hate Eric Holder nearly as much as they hate Barack Obama. They're celebrating his announced retirement like they celebrated the choice of Sarah Palin as veep. And with about the same amount of reality-testing.
So how will they deal with Obama's next choice for AG, knowing that Holder will remain until his successor is in place? They've filibustered pretty much everyone the president has put forward for pretty much every possible position. It's what they love to do. OTOH, the more they block the nominee, the longer the hated Holder holds his home. Ha.
