Loretta Lynch, President Obama's attorney general nominee who once appeared to be on a glide path to confirmation, is now a vote away from losing the job after months of delay, thanks mostly to her views on illegal immigration.
Senate Republicans leaders have postponed a confirmation vote on Lynch, who was nominated more than four months ago. And each passing day has generated another GOP "no" vote, even from Republicans who typically would be amenable to approving Lynch, who is now serving as the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York and is highly regarded for her legal mind, job performance and personal appeal.
Among those who are uncertain of Lynch's fate is Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, who is chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and a staunch backer of Lynch.
Just a few weeks ago, Hatch told the Washington Examiner Lynch would easily be confirmed by the Senate.

I really hope so. This issue doesn’t require the assembly of half a dozen neurons. This is exactly the kind of person who should not be AG. She has disqualified herself with her own words. NEC. Not Even Close.
I've called mine.....have you called yours?
“I’ve called mine.....have you called yours?”
My senators are Warren and Markey...so no.
Better a critically damaged Holder than a emboldened partisan.
Can’t believe Guiliani did this. Disgusting.
Giuliani supports this bigot?
“Giuliani supports this bigot?”
Yup.

The problem is...”is she worse than Holder?”
And if they torpedo her...who will Obama nominate next is the fear of many.
Is Janet Reno available?
As a Georgian, I EXPECT BOTH of my Senators to vote against any recommendation or confirmation, whether out of a committee or in a floor vote for ANY Obama nominee for the remainder of this tyrant’s term.
This is like thinking “I’m sure glad that German Shepard isn’t crapping on my lawn any more, this new Doberman crapping on my lawn is such an improvement”.
Lets hope so.....I mean if they confirm her without her repudiating Holders actions then they are no different than DEms.
Exactly! My point is it doesn’t matter which dog we get...but we will be getting a dog. Do you really expect the Republicans to block more than one AG nominee? After blocking Lynch...Obama could appoint Louis Farrakhan and they’d pass it through the senate.
Cruz will do the right thing. ;)

Mcnuts is now trying to rush this to a vote where the witch still has a chance to be confirmed. I guess he gets bonus points from the king if he pushes her through.
Sadly, my Senators don't know which end of the phone to use.
She is a founding sister as is Holder’s wife of an all black sorority. The women have been close since college. BIGots
You should support her racist behavior as it will help cleanse you of your white guilt (even if you’re not white).
