During today's confirmation hearing for Loretta Lynch as DOJ Attorney General, Ted Cruz asked some incredibly poignant questions one of which should send chills down every American's spine.
Cruz asked one question the answer of which SHOULD be quick and obviously "NO!". The question is as follows: "Is it constitutional (for the U.S. gov't) to use a drone's lethal force against an American citizen ON AMERICAN SOIL who doesn't pose a threat?" Loretta Lynch failed to answer with 'no' just as Eric Holder also once failed to answer 'no'. There should be NO debating or pondering the answer to this question. Any answer other than 'no' would indicate she feels there might sometimes be a circumstance where the U.S. gov't lethally drone striking an American on American soil would be acceptable and would not violate an American citizen's constitutional rights.
What does our gov't have in store for us? Why can't the Obamabots answer this question in the obvious way? If this doesn't strike fear in the hearts of Americans, nothing will.
Cruz was brilliant, firing a barrage of questions she would not answer. Cruz' tactic of drawing her out as just another psychobabble word gamer and translation butcher of Constitutional verbiage was quite dramatic.
State murder is OK but keeping illegal aliens out is not?
Bizarre. Her brain must be one tangled highway of dead end roads.
Duh, of course its okay. The real enemies are any freedom-loving Americans. The EXTREMISTS, as one might say.
The EXEMPT will be EXEMPT from this, too.
And the EXEMPT SCOTUS will make this Law for the
non-EXEMPT (those not in Congress, not on their staff,
not Moslems, and those who have now bought off
or served someone in Congress).
Watching CBS News (yeah, I know) and they’re showing a clip of this now.
Breitbart has video of the exchange up here:
Trading in one Holder for anutha Holder of a different mutha.
Eric Holder 2.0 in a pant suit!
So we can all expect her confirmation forthwith.
Thanks for digging that up!
But they will still confirm her.
Bork her.
nothing will stop the repubs from confirming her.
“”Her eloquence should not be misinterpreted as being qualified for this position””
Boy, I have never seen such a phony - even with all the phonies in this administration already. No one and I mean no one is THAT POLISHED! Reminded me of a female boss I used to have - one person on the job and another person in front of a crowd.
I don’t care how eloquent she is. When a person has to measure each syllable/sentence/word/answer so carefully, they are being deceitful. No doubt she is a very smart woman but in that case, give me dumb any day.
It was painful to watch. I got through her making a pitch for “juvenile delinquents” programs and “prisoners” and turned the TV off. If they only had a chance, they wouldn’t have ended up in prison is what I got from her.
No one in there saw the irony of the dems praising her for her accomplishments, her upbringing, able to rise above blah blah blah and they could still walk out and give a speech about blacks not having opportunities!
Heaven help us!
I totally agree. Why bother with confirmation hearings.
He was just a “place Holder”, apparently.
Ok, I’ll say it. Racist, Marxist, communist, affirmative action hire, she’ll fit right in the administration. I said it and I fell better now.
