McConnell Sets Thursday Vote on Loretta Lynch
Roll Call ^ | 04/22/2015 | Steven Davis

Posted on 04/22/2015 6:01:26 AM PDT by GIdget2004

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell set up a Thursday cloture vote on Loretta Lynch’s nomination to be attorney general after breaking a logjam over amendments to the human trafficking bill.

The Kentucky Republican’s filing of cloture on Tuesday ends Lynch’s months-long limbo, with the votes for her confirmation seemingly assured but her position held up as a bargaining chip as the parties wrangled over abortion provisions in the trafficking bill.

“I forget, we need to vote GOP because ...... someone please remind me.”

Because `the perfect is the enemy of the good’ and all of those other bogus rationalizations provided by GOP shills sprouting like mushrooms here beginning in earnest as we head into this primary season, as well as back in 2008 and 2012.

It was important to give the Republicans the Senate last fall so that by this time they could counter such things as:
this administration’s outrageous abuses against its citizens (IRS, NSA, `Fast & Furious’, etc.; e.g. Darrell Issa, over six years: zippo, and Trey Gowdy, appointed a year ago); and,
Obama’s extreme nominees; and,
agreements with foreign nations instigated by Obama, dangerous to this country and our allies.

Yes - I remembered that right after I hit post.

The rule the Dems use is the rule the GOP said they would reverse and in the end will continue to work against them.

Clowns.

If this criminal wretch is confirmed, the GOP in D.C. becomes, for me, the enemy. Dead to me Just as bad as Obama.

That will happen tomorrow with a few GOP votes, mostly Dems.

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 .

The point being there is legislation enacted by congress that is supposed to be followed regulating immigration that any Presidential appointee is to follow who has been sworn to uphold and defend the constitution.

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 these practices be denied confirmation ?(Yes) (No) . Should the senate abandon the 60 vote majority for the “nuclear option” used by Reid when majority leader of the senate to any such candidate to be Attorney General supporting the above by applying the simple majority Reid rule. But citing the Hanen court injunction ruling that would restrict the use of the Reid rule only when such a ruling by a Judge were made ? (Yes) (No)

Should those given this bypassed favored treatment who miss their INS hearing be deported fortwith ? (Y) (N).. ? Denied re-entry (Y)(N) ? Snould that also apply to any illegal convicted of a felony (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, preserving the Constitution and Conservative Government

Paging the GOP Freeper Groupies! Paging the GOP Freeper Groupies! Hey, I seem to remember some of you just prattling on and scolding other Freepers who have left the plantation about how a Republican senate would stop bad obama nominees and rein in the DOJ. If one of the SCOTUS crone’s assumes room temperature do you still believe your Masters would stop obama from nominating Eric Holder as a replacement??????? My money says yes there are some of you who would still buy the lie, bleat yes master and pull that R lever.

KY voters had the chance to get rid of McTurtle and replace him with conservative Matt Bevin, but they didn’t — sigh.
