++63 year old Eric Holder will announce he is resigning today. He plans to say he will stay until a new Attorney General is confirmed. Holder makes good on his promise that he will not be dragged through the final days of the Obama presidency.
++Our first African-American Attorney General,he has been vigilant on the issue of voter registration suppression and actively pushing back on the wave of state restrictions. As we have seen in the Ferguson case, he and the DOJ have been aggressive in the issue of police shootings on young African-Americans.
++The ding on his record will be his very personal and intense push against national security leaks and upholding the law in areas of national security.
++The GOP will be delighted he is gone because he seemed to be the Red Flag on their hobby horses--Fast and Furious, the strange gun smuggling sting that resulted in one AFT agent killed,voter registration issues which the GOP wanted to pass, and even Obamacare, which he defended.
++He goes out with a solid record and had the pleasure celebrating a whole host of anniversaries of civil rights achievements.
