GOP SIGNALS CONFIRMATION BATTLE OVER HOLDER Senator Links Holder To Blago

GOP SIGNALS CONFIRMATION BATTLE OVER HOLDER Senator Links Holder To Blago
More signs have emerged that Eric Holder's nomination for Attorney General will face a bitter committee fight as Republican Senators on Thursday criticized Holder's work in the Clinton White House and even attempted to tie him to disgraced Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich

Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Jon Kyl (R-AZ) both took to the floor to raise objections not just to the current date for confirmation hearings, which they would like to delay, but to various episodes from Holder's past.
