My Friend,
Earlier this week when the Senate was asked to vote on confirming Loretta Lynch as the next Attorney General of the United States, I voted no.
During her confirmation hearing before the Judiciary Committee, Ms. Lynch stated her belief that the President's recent executive actions on immigration were "reasonable" and "constitutional."
My Friend, I could not support anyone to be the highest law enforcement official in America who supports the President's clearly unconstitutional actions. That's why I cast my vote "NO."
The job of the U.S. Attorney General is to represent the people of the United States and to "do justice." It is not to serve as a cheerleader or policy advocate for the president - that is what Loretta Lynch's comments show that she would be.
The security of our nation depends on the steps we take today. You can count on me to always fight for a better, stronger, safer America.
It has been the great honor of my life to work for our shared values in Washington. Thank you for your commitment to our nation and your continued support. I am most appreciative.
Sincerely,
John McCain
An insane madman (I know it’s redundant). You’re right, it’s his 6 year mad-time where he converts to a conservative. Crazier than a bag of shithouse rats.
It’s that 6 year Spock “Amok Time”....yeah, that’s it.
Big frickin’ deal. Anyone can vote ‘no’ as long as they know it won’t matter.
But didn’t Mini-MeCain vote for her?
C’mon Juan, fess up. You would have happily voted to confirm if you weren’t running for re-election next year. And in 2010, YOU VOWED IT WOULD BE YOUR LAST TERM! You lie as much as your good bud, Obama!
Bullcrap,I watched the vote,McLettuce breezed the booth several times til Lynch had the votes,then Juan barked no
Yep! He needs to pretend to be a conservative for the next 6 months...
He was allowed to vote no.
Exactly right, he needs to appear conservative.
meanwhile his protoge’s Ayotte and Graham were there to help the Democrats advance their agenda.
Alexander
Burr
Capito
Corker
Cornyn
Gardner
Hatch
Roberts
Rounds
Thune
Tillis
Cochran
Ayotte
Graham
Above the line voted for cloture, below voted for confirmation, except Hatch who voted for both
They are all Democrats in R jerseys and should be removed from office. They advance the left’s agenda under the guise of being Republicans.
1:FUJM
2: Go to 1
How did he vote on cloture?
In any case I am not his "friend"
and am waiting to send money to his primary opponent.
not ted cruz...
he stayed home
Bingo!
That'd be 'pon farr'.
GO CRUZ!
Well, yes... Correct, I could have looked it up. But then someone could accuse me of being a SciFi nerd! :0) Good fun.
