Ted Cruz, Mike Lee: Obama's Attorney General Nominee Must Denounce Planned Executive Amnesty

Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Mike Lee (R-UT) said Saturday that President Barack Obama’s nomination to replace Attorney General Eric Holder, Brooklyn U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch, must denounce Obama’s planned executive amnesty.

“President Obama’s Attorney General nominee deserves fair and full consideration of the United States Senate, which is precisely why she should not be confirmed in the lame duck session of Congress by senators who just lost their seats and are no longer accountable to the voters,” Cruz and Lee said in a joint statement. “The Attorney General is the President's chief law enforcement officer. As such, the nominee must demonstrate full and complete commitment to the law. Loretta Lynch deserves the opportunity to demonstrate those qualities, beginning with a statement whether or not she believes the President’s executive amnesty plans are constitutional and legal.”

When Obama formally nominated Lynch on Saturday, he called her “tough” and “fair,” adding that her career has followed “fairness, equality and justice.” It remains to be seen where Lynch will come down on Obama’s planned executive amnesty, but it would be difficult for her to oppose the president who just nominated her to lead the U.S. Department of Justice.

It also remains to be seen whether the outgoing Senate Democrat majority will attempt to confirm Lynch during the lame duck session in December or if the Senate will wait until the GOP majority is seated next Congress in early January. Holder plans to stay on until his successor is confirmed.

If the incoming Republican-controlled Senate handles the confirmation process, it is highly likely that a precondition for Lynch’s confirmation will be express opposition to Obama’s planned executive immigration action—especially because several senior Republicans have already drawn the battle lines around this fight with that condition.

We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Good chess move. It sets the trap for Obama.

They could probably use parliamentary maneuvers to effectively shut down the Senate until the new Congress is seated.

Given last Tuesday’s wave, rat senators up for reelection in 2016 may pause at consenting to an Attorney General who supports President Mussolini’s unconstitutional amnesty.

Our problem is that we are assuming that ALL of the GOP Senators will put America first and refuse to vote for her approval.

They won't.

"Loretta Lynch deserves the opportunity to demonstrate those qualities, beginning with a statement whether or not she believes the President’s executive amnesty plans are constitutional and legal."

Great idea. We'll see how gutsy and professional she is. . What a historically landmark moment if she comes out and speaks as if we are a Nation of Laws. C'mon Loretta, do the right thing. . Even if she said "I have doubts." .

They are going to bum rush her in, in december before the new house and senate is in place.

A little research and I found Loretta Lynch was very involved with the Moreland Commission.

What I don’t know. The Moreland Commission was looking into corruption in New York that Cuomo got called off.

I don’t trust her and won’t trust her.

She’s a black racist.

Leave the popsition unfilled.

It’s just a tool for Obama to abuse, so don’t give him one.
