President Obama chose Loretta Lynch, the U.S. attorney in Brooklyn, N.Y., as his nominee to replace outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder Friday.
Obama plans to announce Lynch’s nomination Saturday at a White House event. If confirmed, Lynch will become the first African-American woman in the job, succeeding Holder, who was the first African-American head of the Justice Department.

Agreed: the attorney general should be LYNCH—ED!
Literally, not figuratively.
that makes 3 asses in a row....
So will Congress put the brakes on this since he doesn’t have that many white people in his cabinet?
Outright discrimination.
Lynch . . . interesting name.
Such an important job requires diligent vetting, taking more than a few months time.
Then again, if Obama wants her, she must be corrupt. That is back engineered intuition that doesn’t require reinventing the deliberative wheel.
I swear I read Loretta Lynn in the headline. My glasses aren’t that old either, lol.
Reid will have to push it through before the pub take over, because I doubt she’d get past them..
But it is the republicans we are talking about.
Article in today’s paper mentioned her taking on a Republican congressman who is claiming innocence and was just re-elected. Article didn’t mention her taking on any Democrats and I would be shocked if she ever has.
What’s the hurry?
[04/16/2014] Snob Zone contender: Oyster Bay, NYSnob zones
... if the effect of the residency preference is to shut out minorities, then the feds say it’s illegal. But that interpretation may be put to the test in the Justice Department’s discrimination lawsuit against the Long Island community of Oyster Bay (pop. 300,000). The complaint takes issue with Oyster Bay’s use of residency preferences for two affordable housing programs. One, the Next Generation program, was aimed at young people with incomes between 80 and 120 percent of the median town income. The other, Golden Age, was intended to provide senior citizens with affordable living close to their families. Residents were given preference for units in both programs.So far, none of the buyers in the Next Generation condominium program are black. And only “a handful” of residents at the senior housing complex are black. The reason, the feds say, is because Oyster Bay is 85 percent white. Therefore, a residency preference effectively shuts out minorities, which is a violation of the Fair Housing Act.
From Newsday
“Housing programs designed to help young families and senior citizens purchase homes should be available to people of all races, including African-Americans,” Eastern District U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch said in a statement Thursday. “To the extent residency preferences prevent families and senior citizens from purchasing homes because of race, ethnicity or color, the preferences violate federal law and cannot be tolerated.”[07/22/2013] HUD's New 'Fair Housing' Rule Establishes Diversity Data for Every Neighborhood in U.S.
“This proposed rule represents a 21st century approach to fair housing, a step forward to ensuring that every American is able to choose to live in a community they feel proud of – where they have a fair shot at reaching their full potential in life,” said HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan.“For the first time ever," Donovan added, "HUD will provide data for every neighborhood in the country, detailing the access African American, Latino, Asian, and other communities have to local assets, including schools, jobs, transportation, and other important neighborhood resources that can play a role in helping people move into the middle class."
Social engineering
According to HUD, long-term solutions include "helping people gain access to different neighborhoods and channeling investments into under-served areas."
The greedy landlords for cheap illegals' labor ... will be thrilled ... to have the new AG pushing for more and more compact, dense, so-called "sustainable" living cubicles.
We’ll get right on that, Obie.
It wouldn’t make sense to nominate a non-black AG after Eric Holder put so much work into racializing the Justice Department against non-blacks.
She’s just another Holder.
I would strongly suggest they do exactly what senator upchuck shumer and his circus of clowns did to republican nominies during Bush, act like rabied dogs and sh##can all of them one right after another.
If she is such a great candidate, then she should be able to withstand review from the new Senate.
*****juicy dirt on her.*****
