Loretta Lynch, in Confirmation Hearing, Defends Legality of Obama Immigration Action

Loretta E. Lynch, the nominee to become attorney general, on Wednesday defended the legality of President Obama’s immigration policy at the start of a confirmation hearing in which the new Republican-controlled Judiciary Committee promised tough questions.

Republicans have been particularly critical of the president’s decision last year to unilaterally ease the threat of deportation for millions of unauthorized immigrants. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. approved the legal justification for that action.

Some Republicans have said Ms. Lynch’s views on the subject will determine their votes, and Senator Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, the new Republican chairman of the committee, led the hearing with a question on the topic.

Ms. Lynch said she had read the Justice Department’s legal opinions and added, “I don’t see any reason to doubt the reasonableness of those views.”

If the Republicans had any balls, they would reject her.

But sadly, I don't think the Republicans will do anything.

Although she hasn’t been a bad prosecutor, that (to be polite) misunderstanding of the law disqualifies her from a position such as Attorney General.

If Obama was going to pick another New York Democrat, he should hve gone with Preet Bharara.

"Is it legal for the POTUS to overturn existing immigration law with his own executive order?"

THAT is the question she should be asked. I'm sick of all this BS dog and pony show BS.

Well then she is, quite simply, not qualified to be Attorney General of the United States of America.

Did anyone expect her to actually uphold the law and not be simply another Obama sycophant?

We received our quarterly security handout the other day at work. Here is a direct quote from it:

“The Department of Justice issued guidance making it clear that no state can authorize violations of federal law...”

I guess the fed can violate all they want though huh?

Then she is unqualified, no doubt about it.

It occurred to me the other day, that in TV commercials, if a group of friends are shown, hanging out, just having fun -- it's pretty much mandatory that at least one of the friends be black. Because all white people have at least one black friend, right? It would be racist to show a group of whites hanging out with no black friend, you know?

Then I saw a commercial with a group of black friends, just hanging out. No white friend in attendance.

Because it would look SERIOUSLY weird if 5 black people were hanging out, and there was also a white person there, just hangin' with his homeys. Black people do not operate like that. And everyone knows it. Blacks hangs with blacks.
