Holder is out

I won't miss him, but this NPR article is a little valentine to his career.

I had thought him indispensable to the administration. It's a major blow to them, at least potentially depending on what kind of replacement figure is appointed.

11th paragraph before mentioning Fast and Furious. What do you want to bet that a Republican Attorney General held in contempt of Congress would have had that mentioned a teensy bit earlier?

Goodwin Liu for AG. The California Supremes are just a stepping stone.

Or Kamal Harris.

And it'll be confirmed by a (hopefully) lame duck Dem Senate.

I've read that the current attorney to the Supremes, Virilli, is on tab to be the next AG.
Not sure whether that's better or worse.

On the whole, I think Verrilli would be a net gain over Holder. Verrilli's not as skilled a politician, or lawyer, and would have a harder time resisting the House.

Who confirmed this sad sack again?
