hat does it take for Senate Republicans to decide not to confirm Loretta Lynch, who is President Obama’s nominee to be attorney general? At what point is the lawlessness simply too much?
It is entirely within the power of the newly elected Republican majority in the Senate not to confirm Ms. Lynch. The only question is whether the GOP majority will exercise its constitutional authority to do so.
Personally, I wanted to support Ms. Lynch’s nomination. Six years of Eric Holder has done enormous damage, and Ms. Lynch’s service as the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York has earned her a reputation as a relatively no-nonsense prosecutor. However, the answers she gave at her confirmation hearing are, in my view, disqualifying for serving as our nation’s chief law enforcement officer.
When asked how she would be different from Eric Holder—the most partisan attorney general our nation has ever seen—she could identify no meaningful way she would differ from him.
When asked whether she would defend President Obama’s illegal executive amnesty—which Obama himself acknowledged, 22 times, he had no authority to undertake and which a federal court has just enjoined as unlawful—she responded affirmatively, saying that she thought the Administration’s contrived legal justification was “reasonable.”
When asked the limits of “prosecutorial discretion,” the dubious theory President Obama has put forth to justify his executive amnesty, she could give none.

He is just blasting away at everything recently. 3rd different issue I’ve seen him tied to in last day or so. Amnesty, NASA now Lynch.
The GOOBs are still looking for that elusive “fight” to “pick and choose” from before they try to take on the ‘RATS.
Target rich environment with this administration.
Lynch enjoys two special protections. Plus she talks in complex sentences to make people think she’s smart.
0’s way of showing us how much he hates this country.
knowing these COUNTRY CLUB REPUBLICANS as I do, I have no doubt that they will find a reason why they chose to put this woman as a replacement to ERIC (THE RED) HOLDER. After all, they did absolutely nothing to stop OBAMA, when OBAMA tore up the constitution, right in front of them. All I heard from these people was “TSK, TSK, TSK, and a whole lot of finger wagging. They have no problem when middle America called them a bunch of “COWARDS”
- - - and she is up to her eyeballs in corruption in that HSBC? bigggggggggg bank $ laundering scandel - where BILLIONS is chump change.
why hasnt that shot her down ?
and suspect this appointment is payback.
Cruz bump.
Every potential Republican presidential candidate should be asked where they stand on this AG vote.
How about it, Jebbie, Christie, Grahamnesty, et al.?
Excellent article. Straight to the point.
If they (Repukes) don’t flush this turd they deserve the stink.
His point about her admitting to not upholding the law is spot on. She has already indicated she will not no reason to confirm her.
GOP want her in play, a bargaining chip. It’s all about the schmooze with these clowns. Principle???? Never heard of it.
Holder was well known for his criminal behavior in the Clinton Admin also. FALN Terrorists, Marc Rich Pardon for cash etc.
He was confirmed with 18 Republican votes.
How’d that work out for us?
Subject:questionaire to be sent to US Seantors posted in Free Republic
Members of Free Republic Why not print and pass this questionaire around .. Encircle your answers and send it to your US Senator
Dear Senator
INS...Amnesty.. Forget about Ebola
We don’t allow cattle to enter without a background health and ancestry check which we also reqiure of legal immigrants who wait years and still go thru health and record checks. We also require that any legal immingrant demonstrate prior to entry that they offer a contribution to our society and not dependency upon it .
Yet we’re letting children and gang bangers in without doing any of this which has resulted in dispersing virulent new diseases (measles) and drug use which has resulted in unreported cases in schools where these illegal kids were placed.. Plus shoved a severe financial strain on local governments where they are placed .
Should any candidate for Attorney General supporting that practice be denied confirmation ?(Yes) (No) .
Should those given this bypassed favored treatment who miss their INS hearing be deported fortwith ? (Y) (N).. ? Denied re-entry (Y)(N) ? Also apply to those entering the country illegaly and have been convicted of a felony (Yes) (No)
In “countries where an American citizen decides to be a “legal” emigree never mind being a seasonal visitor still are denied voting privledges. Own land in their own name. Face steep fines before getting kicked out let alone denied income and energy subsistance including food stamps, or bring in family members .
I (do) (don’t) believe we should allow such full citizenship privledges mentioned above which are denied by the country of national origin of the above, to a legal American immigrant , deny such full citizen privledges to any (emigree) (seasonal vistor) (illegal) if their country does not allow those same privledges to any citizen of the United States, .
While such a position will be condemed as defacto deportation particularly by the political establishment .Would you continue to support a Senator who refuses to support such restrictions ? (Y) (N) Does that also include erecting border barriers such as fencing designed to discourage surrepticious or uncontolled entry ? (Yes) (No)
Should any American citizen which goes overseas to join a foreign entity fighting against the United States (such as ISIS) Be denied re-entry (Y)(N) and their citizenship revoked? (Y) (N) Should that person be charged with treason (Y)(N)
Very Truly Yours For Restoring the value of American citizenship and Conservative Government
