“As the Republicrats defiantly told us during the G. W. Bush administration; “Presidents have the right to get their nominees confirmed.”
Those Republicans should be asked, if that is true, then why did the Founding Fathers require a Senate confirmation?
I’ll start writing our GOP Senators to remind them that they should only consent to an Attorney General who understands that America’s Constitution LIMITS Presidential power-grabs.
Lynch is un-qualified! We are not a “banana-republic” YET!
These pubbie RINOS are just as bad as the democRATS. Loretta Lynch is a clone of Holder, the most corrupt AG in American history. Here we have the votes to deny her the post and these spineless gutless, poor excuses for mankind will vote for her.
They will confirm her with no problems.
Arizona senator Jeff Flake told BuzzFeed on Wednesday that “the president should always get his people unless there is something disqualifying about them, and there’s nothing disqualifying about her.”
By DAMN! I HATE JEFF MCFLAKE!
The bastard ran as a Tea Party conservative, then went very hard left the day after the election! I’ll vote Democrat next time if needed!
To do otherwise would be racist.
Said no Democrat, ever.
Not to mention ungentlemanly. :-)

The way I see it is it makes no difference. If she doesn’t get confirmed, Holder stays there, and they’re both basically identical.
“if that is true, “
Short memory eh?
That little argument goes back when it was the Democrats filibustering Bush’s nominees and the GOP floated out the idea of a “Nuclear Option” of getting rid of the filibuster and only require a simple majority for confirmation.
Which, by the way is what the founders had in mind since there is nothing, zero , nada about a filibuster in the Constitution.
If Eric Holder can get confirmed, anybody can.
I’m not completely clear on what you mean, but I think that you are saying that the Democrats stated that a president should get his nominees, so what we have are Republicans jumping in there and also saying it on behalf of Democrats. That is my error; I never listen to Democrats.
