Cruz: Loretta Lynch Would Be Worse Than Holder
breitbart.com ^ | 2/23/15 | Pam Key

Monday on Newsmax TV’s “America’s Forum,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said he will not be voting for President Barack Obama’s attorney general nominee, Loretta Lynch.

“Unfortunately Mrs Lynch, through the course of the entire hearing, refused to acknowledge a single limit on the president’s authority under the Constitution,” Cruz said. “When I asked her in what ways she would differ from Eric Holder, she said no ways whatsoever.”

When the junior Texas senator was asked if Lynch would be worse than Eric Holder, Cruz answered “Yes I think she would be materially worse.”

She was selected precisely because she would support and defend Obama, no other reason.

Why would any Republican vote to support her?

b!tch mc connel will push her through because he is a gutless coward, he already gave up on fighting to repeal the Immigrant plan and he will bow to his masters at the CoC and the WH.

If you listen to that whole clip, Cruz is saying that any Senator is complicit in the lawlessness, who in any way makes possible the confirmation of a woman who says outright that she will ignore the Constitution and federal law.

Maybe we need to be pushing our Senators to call for the impeachment of any Senator who thus violates their oath of office, to defend the US Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic.

Maybe we need to say OF OUR SENATORS what Rudy has had the guts to say about Obama. To be an accomplice to the utter lawlessness of this regime is to be the very domestic enemy of the Constitution, that the oath requires them to protect this country/Constitution FROM.

Something tells me that he will get a much better deal than that.

The BCC is already calling opposition to her confirmation racism.

She advocated breaking federal laws. She should be in jail, if anything.

Maybe she will be Hillary's VP candidate,

I doubt she used the term 'breaking laws'.

No she didn’t use the term breaking laws, she did say that illegal aliens have just as much right to work in the U.S. as citizens, which is in direct violation of Federal law.

Same thing.

Correct. Jail is too good for her. Deport her to Somalia..

Eric Holder is worn out from lying and the job itself. So any fresh ambitious person who knows she only has two years to make her mark at Justice Dept.... Yes Loretta Lunch could be a major pain in the you know what.
