Holder has a long to-do list at Justice

It was only months ago that Specter and Leahy "characterized the [Department of Justice] as one of the most damaged institutions in government". Since Holder has taken office he has done a lot to distance himself from the previous administration and restore order and prestige to the DOJ. Being advocate for closing Guantanamo Bay and dropping the ted Stevens case has shown this, however Holder still has a long way to go.
