Lynch will be forced to address a number of controversial topics and will field tough questions from lawmakers. Some of the topics on the tape for discussion:

-President Obama's executive amnesty.

-The Department of Justice role in the IRS targeting scandal.

-Closing of GITMO and release of GITMO detainees .

-The broken relationship between law enforcement and DOJ.

-Big bank regulation.

-Misconduct and intimidation by DOJ attorneys at trial.

-Operation Fast and Furious .

...

Tomorrow, Grassley will hold a second hearing in Lynch's nomination process featuring outside witnesses Sharyl Attkisson, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley and others.

But the real question is: will Lamar Alexander, Lindsay Graham, Juan McCain, Susan Collins, et al. vote for this commie bimbo regardless of her lack of qualification?
