Judiciary Committee Approves Holder


The Senate Judiciary Committee has approved Attorney General nominee Eric Holder on a 17 to 2 vote.

Two Republicans voted against Holder in the committee today – Sen. John Cornyn of Texas and Tom Coburn of Oklahoma. Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, the ranking Republican on the panel, announced yesterday he would vote in favor of Holder.

Holder, a former No. 2 official at the Justice Department during the Clinton administration, has come under fire from some for his role in Bill Clinton's end-of-term pardons and whether intelligence agents who participated in harsh interrogations might be prosecuted.

The nomination now goes forward to the full Senate floor for a vote. It now appears likely he will be confirmed, but the timing of that vote is not yet known.

Yup pretty bad. I'm not surprised at Arlen Spchinter (sp) though).

Gee- I think you guys should go out and form a new party-- you can't stand the Dems- and you question everything the Repubs do - like these appointments or certifying Obama as the qualified President--except you forgot to question them for years when GW was blowing money like a drunken sailor :roll: ...

Like I told Sandhusker- I suggest you start the new Rightwingnut Party-- get Sister Sarahs "separationist" husband to head it up (you betcha :wink: )- and for the first line of business get a Constitutional admendment saying that in order to be President you first have to be approved by a rightwingnut extremist grey headed banker in Podunk Nebraska and a "white" cow breeding KKK member in Boonietown Alabama.... :roll: :wink: :lol: :lol: :p
