AG Nominee Loretta Lynch Survives Judiciary Committee — with Republican Help

RYAN LOVELACE February 26, 2015

Attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch survived a Judiciary Committee vote with help from the GOP earlier today. Lynch’s nomination made it out of the committee on a 12-8 vote, with pivotal support from three Republicans: Senators Orrin Hatch of Utah, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, and Jeff Flake of Arizona. Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley opposed Lynch’s nomination, but added that he expects she will still be confirmed. Grassley cited Lynch’s apparent unwillingness to act independently as his primary cause for concern.

Republicans. What are they good for (at)?

Treason.

Lying.

Screwing their constituents.

Lying.

Helping the undocumented Obama destroy America.

Did I mention: LYING?

She looked the committee right in the eye and told them she thought the president had the power to make his own law. She as much as said that she doesn't believe in our constitution and that the DOJ has always been a racist agency.

So RINOs voted her in. They should all go to jail for violating their oath of office.

This kind of BS is why I cut my ties to the Republican Party - with a few exceptions - nothing but a bunch of flaccid, wimpy appeasers.

Remember what happened to Robert Bork? Clarence Thomas? etc. ad infinitum. Why don't the Pubbies do the same?

If the full Senate approves this person that will probably end it for me with the Republican party.

She is on the far extreme left of America hating Blacks who also hate all Whites. Maybe in the far one tenth of one percent of the weird left.

I am still angry at South Carolina for returning that scum bag to the Senate.

AZ should be ashamed of their lousy senators. Send two monkeys next time. At least they would be entertaining.

No surprises: Oral Hatch, Whimpy Graham, and the aptly-named Jeff Flake - what a sorry bunch of losers!

When they write a history of the fall of the American empire, those names will be prominently featured.

Vichy Republicans strike again.

The Uniparty, R and D divisions, is assisting Emperor Sans-cullotte with his fundamental transformation.

This is what nose-holding while voting gets us.
