White House says Attorney General Eric Holder is Resigning

Eric Holder plans on resigning from his position in the near future. He is staying until they find a successor.

Eric has been with the Obama Administration for 6 years. Hopefully, he will stay until the major civil cases are done or at least, close to being done. This is sad to hear, because Eric has been a force for civil rights. He has played a major role in killing DOMA and protecting the voter rights act.

He will be greatly missed and I wish he would stay, but I'm sure he has his reasons. 

Sad news to wake up to.
