America's Best Attorney General Ever Is Stepping Down

His love for blacks and the poor is unquestioned

Well, this should make the white supremacists happy - The Race Man who first said America was "a nation of cowards" (and probably the only man who could've quelled Ferguson, Missouri after the death of Michael Brown) is outta here:

”Eric Holder Jr., the nation's first black U.S. attorney general, is preparing to announce his resignation Thursday after a tumultuous tenure marked by civil rights advances, national security threats, reforms to the criminal justice system and five and a half years of fights with Republicans in Congress.

Holder most wants to be remembered for his record on civil rights: refusing to defend a law that defined marriage as between one man and one woman; suing North Carolina and Texas over voting restrictions that disproportionately affect minorities and the elderly; launching 20 investigations of abuses by local police departments; and using his bully pulpit to lobby Congress to reduce prison sentences for non-violent drug crimes. Many of those sentences disproportionately hurt minority communities.”

Here's hoping he finds someone, even more determined, to finish what he started,....
