President Obama is accusing Congress of playing politics with law enforcement and national security by holding hostage attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch in exchange for leverage on legislation.
Mr. Obama blasted Republicans for preventing the female federal prosecutor from New York from succeeding Attorney General Eric Holder during his weekly address to the country to Sunday.
But lawmakers have delayed the nomination of Ms. Lynch by more than 130 days over concerns surrounding Mr. Obama’s executive action on immigration, which would provide temporary legal status to millions of illegal immigrants and reprieve from deportation. Now Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republican, wants to waylay that nomination over a bill known as the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act. The bill contains language that would prohibit the use of restitution funds for abortions.
Mr. Obama tapped Ms. Lynch to replace Mr. Holder in November and has this month become more vocal about the roadblocks that Republicans have set up for his nominee. Republicans have the majority in both the House and the Senate.

BS !!!!!!!!
Fear mongering.
Congress should do as its told because racism.
Congress should do as its told because global warming.
Congress should do as its told because Obama.
Congress should do as its told.
Which nation?
If you want to “do the right thing” ... just block ANYTHING Obama wants to do!
yeah right, no cop or FBI agent will know what to do without guidance from the precious Atty General.......
“Loretta should brush up on the law.”
Why should she? They seem to make it up as they go.
Clinton was kind of a whiny girl when he didn’t get his way - at times...
barry is the WHINIEST girl EVER. I swear, he should be on the cast of Glee instead of in the White Hut.

Didn’t McConnell use this court case and the judge’s ruling as his excuse for caving on the funding for Homeland? Yes he did.
He needs to hold the Lynch nomination hostage until the DOJ complies with the anticipated order that Hanen will issue on Monday or Tuesday for DOJ to turn over evidence of its lawlessness and contempt.
“...Loretta should brush up on the law.”
The law, and the Constitution, do not matter in the Obama administration. A good taste of dictatorship — ENJOY!!! (/S)
Exactly...As Ted Cruz said, block all nominees until 0bama backs off executive amnesty.
What a load!!! As if Barry Soetoro and Lynch even shive a git about national security. Illegal Xenos are flooding across our open borders and the Kenyan could care less. He’s got welcome wagon clowns welcoming them with open arms, new Huggies and “tax refund” checks. Give me a break.
Obama being elected endangers national security!
His nose is growing longer again!
Obama being in the whitehouse is an extreme danger to national security. Yes I agree with him, in part, for the first time in history: congress needs to do its job but in that it needs to remove him.
If national security depends on Loretta Lynch we are doomed!
Ah yes - “national security”, the catch-all phrase that allows them to get what they want, or hide what they want.
He wasn’t too worried about national security when he #1.Traded a lunatic traitor for five Gitmo Jihadists, or #2. Allowed millions of uneducated, unvetted, unvacinated illegals to just waltz across our borders
#3. Needlessly imported Ebola patients and stuck them in our unprepared hospitals.
#4. Fired over 14 Senior Commanding Generals (9 in 2013 alone) because they would not walk lockstep with his losing Rules Of Engagement.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha! You’re so funny, Obama!
