Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh thinks he knows where Attorney General Eric Holder will eventually end up: the Supreme Court of the United States of America.

“There may be a Supreme Court vacancy, and I can see [President] Barack Obama nominating Eric Holder to fill it,” Limbaugh said Thursday on his radio program, according to a transcript.


However, Limbaugh predicted Holder, who announced he will step down from the Justice Department once a replacement is confirmed, will head for a private sector, “cashing-in” for a paycheck first.

“After you perform your six years of government service, you then retire to the private sector and get paid off for it. People hire you who are grateful for what you did or you go back to your law firm where you are a rainmaker, don’t even have to do any work,” the radio host said.

Limbaugh also hypothesize that it would be easier for Holder to “make the jump” to the Supreme Court from a private sector law firm, rather than straight from the Justice Department.

As for Holder’s replacement, Limbaugh said he doesn’t even know who is on the short list, but predicted either way it will be an “Obama Jr.”

“[Holder]’s just gonna be replaced with Al Sharpton or somebody like him. I mean, that’s what the [Department of Justice] has been turned into. Eric Holder has subverted the Department of Justice and now it’s no different than if Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton were running it, and whoever Obama nominates is gonna be Obama Jr. or Obama III in there,” Limbaugh said.

He added, “Obama’s gonna find an exact clone attitudinally, ideologically, policy-wise. He’s gonna find somebody that… He just needs himself. He needs to find a lawyer that is Obama who can get confirmed.”
