Lamar got permission, so the approval must be in the bag.
Any GOP that votes to confirm Lynch needs to be toted out of town on a rail.
WTH? Were they all drunk and miss the November 14 election?
I know that lobby money comes in handy, but as Lugar found out, you have to go home some day.
Took long enough for them to take this ‘principled’ stand.
I guess Lindsey, Hatch and Flake are still in the yes column, which is all they need with Biden to break a tie.
Juan bailed on them. Must have gotten some negative blowback and it’s time to hoodwink the Arizona voters again in 2016. Also time to ‘secure the border first’, again, for Juan’s third consecutive campaign.
Any thinking person and one who loves America would never vote for this person. She is trash.
He explained that he intends to use his vote against Lynch to protest Obamas executive amnesty.
This is an opportunity, within the Senate rules, to express my disapproval of the presidents abuse of executive authority, and its an opportunity I intend to take, he said.

Must be satire..
Both Alexander and Corker have pushed AMNESTY for years...
Unless her nomination is defeated, the entire senate will be blamed for appointing this lawless woman.
Individual no votes mean nothing.
The only thing that matters is win or lose.
Which means, in D.C., she will get 60-some votes.
“I will vote against President Obamas nomination of Loretta Lynch for attorney general of the United States, Alexander said in a statement””
Guess he is voting for her.
I still don’t understand why Mitch doesn’t sit on this. He doesn’t have to ever bring it up for a vote.
I can’t believe these two spineless wimps are going to vote against this Holder wannabe.
Particularly Alexander, since he usually maintains that “a President should be allowed to pick his judges, cabinet members, etc. unless they are patently unqualified.” And, to Alexander, no matter how leftist the candidate, he usually does not find them patently unqualified.
I wonder what is going on here. Like Grahamnesty, these two are usually reliable votes for leftist appointees.
