WASHINGTON — Eric Holder’s nomination to be U.S. attorney general received a boost when his confirmation was endorsed by Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee.The panel meets today to vote on Holder’s nomination by President Barack Obama to be the first African-American to lead the Justice Department. The committee’s approval would clear the way for full Senate confirmation later this week. The panel put off the vote for a week as Republicans demanded fuller responses from Holder on issues.
