Should never have made it out of committee
Oh, please. We have all seen this act before. Hold it up, delay it, make some noise to appease Conservatives, and then nominate the candidate 98-2.
Pfft..., does anyone - anyone - still believe all this political theater crap anymore? What a joke.
Good. Delay it till January 2017.
Oh, MOTHER of GOD!
The white boys on Capitol Hill better hurry and confirm her or the Kenyan will kick their asses.
This is one which qualifies for “mixed feelings”. On the one hand, we need to get rid of Holder. On the other hand, we don’t know if Lynch will be much better. If I had to choose, I think I would opt to get rid of Holder as soon as possible and take my chances with Lynch.
An absolute travesty if her nom goes anywhere at all. Nothing that we are not used to, unfortunately.
In her confirmation hearing she said anyone in this country - legally or illegally - has a Constitutional right to work. Essentially, the rule of law be damned.
That disqualifies her for Attorney General. Period. Any republican who supports her violates their sworn duty to protect and defend the Constitution.
I’ve already told my newly minted Senator, Perdue, that he HAS to come out NOW and say he won’t vote for her or he will lose my vote if I’m still alive when he runs for re-election. I’m not interested in him getting absolution from McConnell for a no vote when McConnell has determined he has enough votes to pass her.
Maybe I misunderstand the purpose of the US AG, but isn’t the main responsibility to UPHOLD THE LAW AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION?? She has already said she won’t uphold the LAW! How is she still under consideration???
“Republicans have said generally they have no beef with Lynch’s qualifications and résumé.”
And there’s the problem.
The implication is that the difference must be RAISIS.
My gut feeling is that she would be much worse than Holder, even as bad as he is.
That’s the way politics works. They hold up the nomination until all the subpoenaed documents and witnesses questioned for a myriad of things, like IRS, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, shadow immigration system.
Looking at her resume and most of her work on paper, seems like a decent person; certainly better than her disgraceful predecessor. However, as Cruz exposed, her answer in the hearings were very troublesome.
Orrin Grant Hatch has rung the bell: All aboard! And some think Hatch is “a conservative”.

They better hurry, or Obama will appoint her by Executive Order.
