Anyone know anything about him, other than he served as a deputy AG under Clinton?

Rabid anti-gunner who was all wrapped up in the Elian Gonzalez JBT fiasco.  He was Reno's left-hand thug when it came to anything gun related.

This.  

Eric Holder Jr. is a co-chair of the Obama campaign. Under Janet Reno, he served as deputy attorney general.



In D.C. v. Heller, Holder joined the Reno-led amicus brief, which urged the Supreme Court to uphold the handgun ban and claimed that the Department of Justice from Franklin Roosevelt through Bill Clinton had always believed that the Second Amendment does not protect any rights of individuals to own guns for personal use.



After the D.C. Circuit ruled against the handgun ban, Holder complained that the decision “opens the door to more people having more access to guns and putting guns on the streets.”

The "Change" thing was obviously bullshit. We knew that Bush was a party loyalist and he hired nothing but Reagan and Bush I people. Obama is doing the same thing from the other side. He's just another party loyalist putting Clintonoids with their Hemorrhoids into positions of power. This really isn't much of a surprise. We expected Clinton and Edwards to get appointments. At this point I would be surprised if Kerry and Al Gore got jobs too. In fact, I'd be surprised if Obama DIDN'T try and tap Al Gore for head of the EPA.

He can do plenty of damage without even bringing Congress or new laws into the picture. All he has to do is instruct his new Attorney General, who believes the individual has no 2A rights, to declare that no firearm is suitable for sporting purposes.

Under the existing 1968 gun control act, NO FIREARM MAY BE IMPORTED, and every shotgun larger than a .410 would instantly become a NFA Destructive Device. No more Glocks, no more HKs, no more Walthers, no more Steyrs, no more Berettas (sorry joe biden), no more Benellis, no more SIGs, no more CZs, NO MORE IMPORTS of any kind. And I hope you got $200 for the tax you owe on each of your destructive devices.

The danger of an anti-gun AG is he can push for more anti-gun interpretations of law by the ATF, as well as push "enforcement" (read: bullying) of gun laws.

How about all nine? A liberal SCOTUS justice, if you gotta have one, in their 70s or 80s is far preferable to one in their 40s or 50s.
