Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch said Thursday he believes U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch will get approved by the Senate to replace outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder, but that the confirmation process should wait until after the new Senate has taken office in January.
“Looking at it, I have to say, she looks like she will be a good person,” said Hatch on the Steve Malzberg Show. “But I think the newly-elected senators on both sides should have the privilege of voting for or against her — and I think most of them will probably vote for her. And it ought to be done in a way that has always been followed, since the Civil War.”

The Republicans have made it very clear that they are only too happy to pass the Obama agenda if they win the Senate. So that will just give the Obama administration BI-PARTISAN COVER for the next two years leading up to the 2016 presidential elections.
Moreover, a Republican Senate victory will prove to the big goverment loving RINOcrats that they don't need the conservative base, on whom they have declared outright WAR, so you can forget about them becoming more conservative anytime soon -- not that we have any more time to wait.
You think it's crazy to say that Republicans intend to pass the Democrat agenda? Consider that:
The Republican leadership is lowering expectations about what they'll do if they take the Senate in 2014.
John McCain is already promising to restore the filibuster and promising to expedite approval of Obama's nominees “I will work very hard to go back to 60 votes,” said Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who boldly predicts a Republican Senate would process Obama’s nominees “more rapidly than [Democrats] do today.”
And as for the House: John Boehner: ‘Very Few’ Republicans Will Oppose Me
Oh, and best of all, now Republicans are promising that a Senate takeover will increase the odds of passing immigration reform. Republicans: Immigration reform is more likely to happen if we take the Senate
Well at least the Republicans will repeal Obamacare. Oh wait, they won't.
The only SLIM chance we have to save our country at this point is to demonstrate beyond a doubt that the GOPs "moderate" agenda is doomed to fail at the polls.
Only then will we have a chance of having a true conservative Presidential nominee in 2016, and the utter collapse of Democrat credibility after two more years of their control of the Senate.
It is terrible to consider two more years of Democrat Senate Control, but no less terrible to consider the result of GOPe control.
Booby Hatch is a worthless DemocRat.
Hatch is a moron.
The GOPE is going to let amnesty and Obamacare slide, no budget cuts because they already said no shutdown.
The Uniparty wins.
I think it will be also. I also believe that most, if not all Republicans will vote for whoever it is.
Is Hatch still around?
I thought we were rid of him.
She’s black, thus it’s virtually a felony to oppose her.
Hatch has the keys? THAT’s a problem.
There's a lingering smell from this election.. Something not quite right.
She looks like she is going to be a racis' Law Unenforcer, every bit as extremist as H0lder.
Just wait until Hatch starts stabbing Lee in earnest.
I said that before the election. All the obamanations are about to collapse now. The economy, inflation, etc. is about to crash. The Republicans have been in charge for about an hour and a half so the media will blame them.
Hatch is one of the enemies of freedom loving Americans.
Paging Sarah Palin!
Since we know you read FR, Let this be a reminder of why you N E V E R support a rino. EVER.
He misses his BFF Ted Kennedy.
If he should happen to think about running again he must be defeated in a primary.
Of course.
She’s black and female. How could she NOT be a good person as nominee for AG?
Can you spell “I don’t wanna be called raciss!”
“A good person” ..??????????
What the ..??
She thinks voter ID is RACIST ..!!!!!!
THAT’S NOT A GOOD PERSON .. THAT’S A POLITICAL HACK.
Anybody Obama wants will suck.
Of course she will be confirmed. Going to war over this will just eat up time and energy, and if successful, they just get another nominee that sucks.
Think, folks.
Mark Levin said it last night. We JUST had an election. Republicants won. Yet NOTHING HAS CHANGED! How much more proof do you need that elections don’t count anymore????? Look at this guy Orrin Hatch!!!!! He might as well be a friggin Democrat.
