Dont Confirm Loretta Lynch
by RICH LOWRY March 20, 2015
An unanswerable question hangs over the nomination of Loretta Lynch for attorney general: Is Republican opposition to her more racist or sexist?
As an African-American woman, Lynch represents a gloriously double-barreled opportunity to accuse Republicans of sub-rosa hatreds. The political benefit of what feminists call intersectionality membership in two or more historically oppressed groups is not having to choose which accusation of bias to make. Illinois Senator Dick Durbin went to the Senate floor to effectively accuse Republicans of racism in the nomination fight, even though Hillary Clinton had tweeted that it is sexism and the head of Lynchs sorority has said it is both. Synergy!
For his part, Durbin went straight to a Rosa Parks metaphor because getting humiliated in segregation-era Montgomery, Alabama, is just like being a high-powered lawyer whose confirmation vote has been delayed in the Senate. He thundered that the first African-American woman nominated to be attorney general is asked to sit in the back of the bus when it comes to the Senate calendar.

The only confirmation that Loretta Lynch should receive is that she is utterly and completely unqualified and unfit to be Attorney General.
Make like the Swedish chef - Bork, bork, bork.
She will be confirmed with 70+ votes, any RINO that votes against her did so because they are trying to trick the American People and she already had the votes to be confirmed.
WORDs, words, words, Don’t listen to them watch what they DO.
ACTIONS..................NOT WORDS!!!!!
Why does Rich Lowry even entertain the question of Republican racism against Loretta Lynch? I hate that stuff.
Lynch saying that it is legal for Obama to make law by changing the law, and reapplying the law, by FIAT, makes Loretta one more Marxist shill to be ensconced in Obama’s
Just-US Department.
Just how much more can America tolerate and still be America? Two more years? I dunno. Guess they have to come through our front door before Republican players like the Gang of Eight would maybe look up.
