If you oppose Loretta Lynch for AG, you're racist

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.

Enough! I’m a racist, a sexist, a homophobe, a xenophobe, a carnivore, a war monger and a red baiter. Piss off.

Up until about 2007 I wasn't any of those things. Now I hate blacks, muslims, gays, illegal immigrants, liberals/democrats, feminists, social justice warriors, etc.

IDGAF anymore what people think of me, just leave me the hell alone!

See, the tri fecta for these commie liberal progressive facists is not just a black person put up for office but a female black person put up for office. Your not only a racist but against women, black women if you oppose. The game playing continues until they are called out. Fundamental change most of us knew where this is going and the rest still think he has thier best interest in mind. You are on the losing end my friend and you wont know it until it hits you in the head and by then it’s to late

Lynch should be run out on a rail. If she is approved by Congress, you have NO IDEA of the problems that woman will cause both domestically and internationally.She could start WW III.

Look at the other women , such as Rice, who is now telling the military how to wage war, calling the shots from here National Security Office.Yest Rice has never served , nor understands nothing about warfare and how to wage it, outside of political warfare against the American People.

Lynch will make Rice look like a piker.
