Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said he will oppose Loretta Lynch’s confirmation for U.S. attorney general because she supports civil forfeitures, but the Congressional Black Caucus knows his real motive — he’s racist.
“Senator Paul is using the issue of civil forfeitures to block a well-qualified federal prosecutor from heading the Department of Justice,” CBC Chairman G.K. Butterfield, D-N.C., said in a press release. “Senator Paul also has the audacity to suggest that Loretta Lynch should have more concern for people living in poverty.
Butterfield added: “The Congressional Black Caucus recognizes Senator Paul’s unfounded argument as nothing but an excuse to keep an African-American legal scholar from holding this high position, ...
Civil forfeiture turns justice on its head,” Paul said. “Instead of being innocent until proven guilty, you are guilty until proven innocent. The government takes your cash — $1,000, $100, $500, whatever it is. This program predominantly has targeted black individuals, poor individuals, Hispanic individuals. And when Sen. [Mike] Lee asked her about it in the committee, she said, 'Oh, no, as long as there is a valid court order.'”
Remember — police can seize that property without charges even being filed. They often do so when there is no evidence of a crime. They have been known to take the homes of parents whose children were alleged to have sold drugs without their knowledge. Current AG Eric Holder even took steps earlier this year to limit the use of the practice by requiring evidence of a crime before assets could be seized.
Lynch has used the practice in her office to rake in more than $113 million in civil actions between 2011 and 2013.
But there’s no way that could be the reason Paul opposes her nomination. No, it must be the racism.

Someone cue the “That’s Wacist!” kid.
The game is over. “Elect me or I’ll call you names!”
Good gig while you can run it.
But everyone’s hip to it now.
The race card...last refuge of the intellectually challenged.
Opposing a fast-talking redistributionist is not racist.
What’s wrong with being racist? It’s a free country.
LOL!
I must be a REALLY bad rascist, worse than Rand Paul, because I believe that Lynch is not only unqualified, but I believe that she is incapable of swearing an oath to defend the Constitution, because she is willing to cast it aside ab initio without the support of decided law, and also because her politics are liberal fascists, and racist.
If the GOP does not turf Lynch , then they might as well lay down and forget holding the office of president for a generation, for in not eliminating her nomination, they themselves would be just as bad as Lynch and as bad as the treasonous Obamatards who now plague an otherwise free people.
We are at war with fascism, but few know it.And this battle in Congress must be won by the righteous, not the fey.
Why not print this questionaire up 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) ?
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

You know its just time to go just ahead and admit it. We are racists...and they give us so much ammunition to be. Its completely justified because of the way they act. Yeah I’m racist when given good reason to. So I admit it; you got me. Now we’ve got that out of the way, what else do you want to complain about?
LOretta wanna Lynch some crackahZ~!
I oppose her because I’m sexist.
It’s not like we haven’t had black AG (and, a black POTUS) for six years now.
Mr. Butterfield (does his wife make syrup?) is hung up on his own skin color so everyone is a “raciss”,
That’s a lot of words to say nothing.
It used to be.
Enough! I’m a racist, a sexist, a homophobe, a xenophobe, a carnivore, a war monger and a red baiter. Piss off.
You are also a bigot and a racist if you support Lynch for AG. What is a person to do? Race baiting is the next big thing in America these days and this country is going to suffer for it. Thanks Obama! You ###hole!
Anyone who votes for her is a traitor to the united states of America, and should be removed from office. No conservative should ever again support in any way, a senator who votes for her.
If you don’t oppose her,then I guess you are anti-justice.
It’s what I expect from an establishment Republican ... Blah blah blah ...
So what?? IDGAF if they think he's racist.
