Babs Backs Holder for AG

Streisand urges fellow lefties to fight for Obama nominee

Share

(Newser) – Barbra Streisand is using her star power to push for the speedy confirmation of Eric Holder as attorney general, Politico reports. In a letter, Babs asks like-minded people to sign a petition supporting a man who is “committed to liberty, the rule of law, and our constitutional rights.” And she squeezes in an across-the-aisle dig. “We can’t let Republican delays deny the American people the Attorney General they deserve.”

This will certainly convince reluctant Republicans to vote for confirmation. Reply
