The majority want his resignation because they recognize he is not working in behalf of "we the people" but rather in a personal manner for "he the emperor in chief" and also because he has shown a bias for minority issues such as the new black panthers, professor gates, the St. Paul MN case which he interferred with because a case was about to be won which would have gone against the disingenious "disparate impact" ,his attempts to prevent photo ID voter laws and stopping Governor Scott from securing the Florida's voter registration. An attorney general is suppose to conduct inquiries , investigations etc in an open and unbias manner. So I support the Republicans efforts to rid us of this ineffective and harmful AG.
And while I believe both Obama and Holder are up to their eyeballs in invovlement in Fast and Furious I am thankful that we as americans have the option and opportunity to to call such offenders out on allegations of impropriety unlike a banana republics. so perhaps it is a waste of time and money to some but in my view it is well worth it becaue it leaves open always that opportunity ensuring that freedom remains

It does seem that the Republicans are ganging up on Eric Holder and that they will do anything to undermine him and the Obama Administration at this point. The Republicans are basically holding the Obama Administration hostage at this point and nothing that benefits the agenda of the Democrats will get through the House.
Maybe a political deal could be struck so if AG Holder resigns, the Republicans would be open to more compromise on Democrat bills in the House?
However, if Holder does resign right before the election, it will be shown as a major sign of weakness and admitting to fault and the Republicans will play that up as a major fault of the Obama Administration.
I believe the best idea is for Holder to stay in office until after the election and when the Obama Administration wins again, he could resign at that point if it looks needed for a smooth running of the government.
