I understand that he's going to be one of the ones that gets really grilled. That's fine with me. Frankly, I don't care about his politics or his ideology. What I care about is his committment to justice. The Department of Justice is not a Political Department, it's a Legal Department, and we haven't had one for a long time. As long as he involves himself in Law Enforcement. Like you say, he's a <em><strong>Law</strong>yer</em> - that's all we need... “’m sure that we will learn how he feels about that at the confirmation hearings.” I understand that he’s going to be one of the ones that gets really grilled.

If you read Eric Holder's biography you start to realize that he has been around the Washington and the Justice Dept a long time. He has had quite an extensive career almost from a to z. He was also a U S Attorney for a time and prosecuted some really big Democrats. For every negative that he might have with the Republicans he has a positive. He was made a superior court judge by Reagan years ago. He was in gifted programs in HS and went to Columbia University for his undergraduate degree and the same for his law degree. If I were a crook working in the House or the Senate I wouldn't want him confirmed as AG. There is a question about his views of detainees and their rights according to the Geneva Convention. I'm sure that we will learn how he feels about that at the confirmation hearings. In order to get the justice dept. up to snuff, we need a person leading the charge who knows where to start.
