Did anything truly notable (or worth discussing) happen during the Holder hearings?

By Douglas A. Berman

I was on the road for the last two days and thus had no opportunity to watch or even follow indirectly the Senate hearings for AG-nominee Eric Holder.  Based on press reports (collected here by How Appealing), it seems there was not much of great interest for sentencing fans beyond all the pedantic pardon talk.  But I would be eager and grateful if readers would use the comments to spotlight if anything really notable or worth discussing came up during the hearings. Some posts on the Holder pick for Attorney General: How much will guns and drugs come up during the Holder hearings? Real headaches or just hiccups on nominee Holder's path to AG?
