Loretta Lynch is promising a fresh relationship with law enforcement – and with Congress – as she appears before a Senate committee Wednesday in her bid to become the nation´s first female black attorney general. But she has serious hurdles in front of her as the Senate Judiciary Committee, now under Republican control, warns about ´a Department of Justice that is deeply politicized´ under the outgoing AG, Eric Holder. Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley, the committee´s chairman, said in his opening statement that America´s next top law enforcer would need to worry about ´restoring respect for the co-equal branches of government.´

It’s just a formality. Invertebrate Republicans would confirm Geraldo if he were the nominee.

In depth questions such as “What did you have for breakfast?”. With a follow up of, “Where did you get that splendid pants suit?”.

Right now, the GOP is “mostly dead”.

If they pass that ignorant s***, they’ll transition to “completely dead”.

End O’da rant.

The republicans could ask if it is just a coincidence that, in a country that is 12% black, the very best available candidates for this office and their entire entourages just happened to be African American, or is it perhaps possible that this administration considers being black is a prerequisite for the position?

Then of course that would beg the question why is race a primary consideration for an office thats supposed to represent all Americans.

They just figure a black person will more likely to be an Obama sycophant.

Who do you think Obama(Jarrett)would pick, someone who disagreed with them? Get serious Senate. If you don't want more of the same reject her.

The fact that Sharpton recommended her is reason enough to reject her.

She’s already stated during the hearings that she has no problems or issues with Obola’s immigration actions. That, in itself, should be the reason NO R votes to confirm. Those that vote to confirm are clearly terrorists, and anyone continuing to vote for the rotten traitors should also be considered terrorists and should be treated as such. This nonsense of voting for the GOP has to end if we are to restore the Republic.

Given the population demographics, a black candidate appointment is most certainly contrived.

I watched a bit of this as it was broadcast on The Right Scoop, I quit watching out of disgust, she is going to be confirmed, the dems made it all about race and the republicans coward for the most part.

Is this just advice and consent or does a majority against her kill the nomination?

Im not entirely certain how the Conformation hearings work, but I would guess that they’ll be voting this one’s nomination up or down.
