Democrats are up in arms over the GOP’s handling of Loretta Lynch’s nomination to be attorney general, arguing that Republicans are engaged in unconscionable delays over a history-making choice to head the Justice Department.
Republicans are not breaking a sweat.
“Zero,” Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas) said when asked how much pressure his party is feeling to confirm her to the Justice Department position.
Why not? “Because there’s zero,” he reiterated.
Lynch, who was nominated by President Barack Obama to replace Eric Holder at the Justice Department in November, has been stalled in recent days because of an unrelated fight over an anti-abortion provision in a bill aimed at cracking down on human trafficking. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has refused to take up Lynch’s nomination until Democrats relent on their demands to remove the abortion language. Republicans believe that Democrats will feel the heat for blocking, on five separate occasions, a bill that would aid roughly 100,000 mostly young girls who fall victim to sex trafficking.
Despite her qualifications and reputation as a fair-minded prosecutor from the Eastern District of New York, Lynch’s nomination has generated growing criticism from the right. The opposition stems mostly from her assertion that President Barack Obama acted constitutionally in deferring deportations of roughly five million illegal immigrants after the election in November.
So giving Lynch a confirmation vote could only provoke a backlash from the right, something Republican leaders are not eager to endure without some give from Democrats.

Plant some meth in her purse, and call the FBI ??
The "fight" is for show. We know how this ends.
Republicans must enjoy being on the BDSM receiving end. Remember how John Ashcroft was treated as the 2nd coming of the Gestapo?
Bingo. There is no fight. The Islamo-Fascists will sneak another one though the gubmint’s doors, hiding behind her vagina and skin color. AFTER ALL, THAT’S WHY HUSSEIN SELECTED HER; SO SHE COULDN’T GET REJECTED, RIGHT??!!!!!

They would just ask her if she minds sharing with Obama.
Better to call the local sheriff.....
Anyone who takes part in nominating this lawless women to this position is a traitor to the United states. When someone stands up and flat out says they are not going to follow the law, but follow there own beliefs instead——Well you just don’t make them the head of the justice department unless you are part of the mob.
Why is everything history making? just because she is a black female and Obama wants her to be the AG. Really is that the qualifications/ What about upholding he constitution and holding up the rule of law, not coercion if the judgement is not popular. please i am so sick of the history making aspect in the Obama Administration. Yes it is history making - the most incompetent, corrupt and stupid ever.
Bork her. Make Barkey put up somebody else.
It would never be found.
The only thing historic about her nomination is that she has been accused of being a female, other than that she is just another black radical communist.
Yeah, no doubt.
