I just sent Sen. Leahy this message at senator_leahy@leahy.senate.gov:
"Dear Senator Leahy, I am extremely disappointed in your capitulation to the Rove-led caucus' demands to delay confirmation hearings on Eric Holder's nomination as Attorney General.
Senator, why on Earth are you willing to do this? Is it not obvious that Rove and his GOP lackeys only want time to crank up their spin machine to start chipping away at the new administration's authority?
Unless there is some concern that Mr. Holder may be forced to withdraw from the nomination, there is no reason -- none -- to acquiesce to those who foisted Alberto Gonzalez on us. If three weeks was good enough for the likes of him, two weeks is all they need to consider a nominee with Mr. Holder's credentials.
I frankly do not understand why, with this watershed election for change, you do not exercise some authority to remind the GOP of what took place just five weeks ago. We do not want to hear from Rove again -- ever. Isolate him and his supporters. This man lies and cheats as naturally as he breathes, is not an elected official and has no place at the table. He intends to foster obstructionism in any way possible and you are making it easy for him to do so. I am, as stated above, not only deeply disappointed, but angered by any action that enables his pursuit of his personal agenda."
