One of their guests who is knowledgeable about the SCOTUS was talking about future Obama picks to the court....one of them was Eric Holder.

you have got to be fucking kidding me....

Obama would need more than Democrat super-majority in the Senate. There's a few Democrat senators that would catch hell if they allowed Holder to be confirmed.

I'm surprised Obama hasn't nominated himself.

Will never get past the nominating process. Too much baggage.

I hope you're right but I never thought he'd get past the nomination process for AG given all the baggage he picked up as Janet Reno's deputy.

He got through on the pink cloud/halo effect. That is off the table, and with Fast & Furious, there is a snowball's chance in hell he'd make it this time. As Inconel710 aptly stated, there are a lot of Democrats who would get fried by their constituency. He's got about as much of a chance as John Ashcroft would have as a Republican nominee.

Could give two shits if Holder gets in if Obama is re-elected.
Wont be giving much of a damn to anything.
America will deserve it by then, WE THE PEOPLE asked for it and WE will get it.
I did my part, your on your own then.

Sounds like the Dilbertism "promoted to his level of incompetence"

supposed to be a corporate thing, especially in IT... but I suppose it could happen in Gov't.

While Holder should be disqualified based on any objective measure and if both parties were doing their job in the Senate, I would not bet against him.

Betting line would have to be in his favor, primarily because the spineless republicans would not shut down the government to stop his appointment.
