The chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, and Science said Attorney General Loretta Lynch did nothing at a hearing this week to convince him of the legality of President Obama's gun executive orders.

Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) grilled Lynch during that hearing about the executive actions as well as her beliefs in the Second Amendment.

Lynch said she has "complete confidence that the common-sense steps announced by the president are lawful" as "they clarify laws that are already on the books."

Guess Sen. Shelby missed the memo put out by the constitutional scholar/cinc/lyin' king and his assessment of the 2nd amendment. It, apparently, states right there in small print that the lyin' king is allowed to impose any restrictions he wants to on anything he wants to.

Silence of the lambs. Wolves are discussing what to have for dinner.

Ooooh, another 'grilling'! Man, those GOP barbeque chefs sure are busy. When do we eat?

Shelby is trying to make himself look good because he is facing a primary challenge and doesn’t want to be Cantorized.

Isn’t all this Kabuki getting tiresome? When are these geldings going to withdraw funding from something in response to this lawlessness by these LIB traitors???

Thank you for getting to the crux of the matter. No need to take the clickbait now.

“Lynch said she has “complete confidence that the common-sense steps announced by the president are lawful” as “they clarify laws that are already on the books.””

So lynch admitted 0 did not make new law// lol..idiot.

“President Obama’s gun executive orders.”

WHAT EOs?

[rktman]

I think they were “EA”’s. No EO’s

[ctdonath2]

Precision in terminology helps.
And I still haven’t actually seen any text to discuss; everyone is just blathering about their worst fears imputed on the Obama.
