It’s not surprising that those of us on the left are happy to see Eric Holder stay on the job as long as possible but who would have thought the Senate GOP would be help us out.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and his team have subjected Lynch to the longest delay of any A.G. nominee in history – for reasons they haven’t even tried to explain – and this week, McConnell even broke his word about bringing Lynch’s nomination to the floor for a vote this week.
The irony is under-appreciated: Republicans wanted Holder to step down, and he did. Republicans wanted Obama to nominate an uncontroversial successor, and he did. Republicans wanted Democrats not to vote on Lynch in the lame-duck session, and they obliged.
Months later, the Senate’s GOP majority can’t quite bring itself to do what Republicans say they want to do. In fact, as far as McConnell & Co. are concerned, they hope to defeat Lynch – again, for reasons they’ve struggled to articulate – raising the prospect of Republican keeping Holder at his current post until January 2017.

    This is just another indicator as to why it was well past time for Reid to make his exit. 6 years of Reid caving and now this. Come on back to Nevada grandpa it’s time to rest and relax with your wife on your porch.
