While it's probably obvious to you that I agree, I'm curious as to why you feel that way, Jon.

Never much liked him. Too interested in throwing bones to constituent groups rather than operating on principles. Tone deaf to criticism and attracts it, a la Cheney.

Resigning now also allows a replacement to be confirmed by the current Senate.

An Obama administration official noted some of Holder's accomplishments, saying the attorney general established a historic legacy of civil rights enforcement and restored fairness to the criminal justice system. "He revitalized the Justice Department's praised Civil Rights Division, protected the rights of the LGBT community, successfully prosecuted terrorists, and fought tirelessly for voting rights, to name a few," the official said.

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy
