Nice. I like Senator Leahy, I really do.
Senator Specter has been making noises about Eric Holder's nomination to be Attorney General, and Leahy responded:
We need the new Attorney General to be a person of experience and independence. Eric Holder's long record of public service has earned him strong support from law enforcement organizations, civil rights groups, victims' rights advocates, former Reagan and Bush administration officials, and others. Any effort to question his character is unfounded. Every Republican voted for Alberto Gonzales, and felt his character merited confirmation. Certainly Eric Holder greatly exceeds that test.
Yeah. Anyone who thought Gonzales was perfectly acceptable can hardly object to a man with Holder's record of achievement.
