It is time.
Eric Holder should resign. I say he should resign rather than be fired because it is totally obvious that Holder has been doing the work Obama has told him to do. Holder should resign to save his reputation. He should resign AND make it clear that he is resigning because he can no longer be Obama's "sin eater" as Jonathan Turley calls him in his USA Today article "Fire Eric Holder"
I don't expect Holder to resign, because he has already demonstrated that he is totally willing to prostitute his integrity in obedience to Obama -- as he's violated our rights.
Turley says it well in the article:
"His value to President Obama has been his absolute loyalty.
Holder is what we call a "sin eater" inside the Beltway -- High ranking associates who shield presidents from responsibility for their actions.
Richard Nixon had H.R. Haldeman and John Erlichman.
Ronald Reagan had Oliver North and Robert "Bud" McFarlane.
George W. Bush has the ultimate sin eater, Dick Cheney, who seemed to have an insatiable appetite for sins to eat.
For Obama, there has been no better sin eater than Holder.
When the President promised CIA employees early in his first term that they would not be investigated for torture, it was the Attorney General who shielded officials from prosecution.
When the Obama Administration decided it would expand secret and warrantless surveillance,
it was Holder who justified it.
When the President wanted the authority to kill any American he deemed a threat without charge or trial, it was Holder who went public to announce the "kill list" policy."
