Gun Owners of America spearheaded a coalition of almost 30 groups this week and sent a letter to U.S. Senators opposing the confirmation of Loretta Lynch to be Attorney General of the United States.
The vote on her nomination could occur as early as next week. And right now, the Republican Senate holds “all the cards” in the fight to stop her nomination. If they hold together, her nomination will be defeated.
While Lynch doesn’t have 60 votes in the Senate, she probably has 51 votes because there are some Republicans who support her -- like Jeff Flake (R-AZ), Mark Kirk (R-IL), Susan Collins (R-ME), Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Orrin Hatch (R-UT).
Still others say that Lynch's confirmation is necessary to get rid of Holder. But Lynch represents a much greater danger than Holder -- especially, if her confirmation puts her in line as the potential fifth anti-gun vote on the Supreme Court.

“And right now, the Republican Senate holds “all the cards” in the fight to stop her nomination. If they hold together, her nomination will be defeated.”
If this is the case, than Lynch should be history. Do any of these boys and girls remember why they were elected in the first place? I hope, for our sake, they do.
The Republicans will vote to confirm Lynch unless McC has some insuperable personal aversion to her.
I am sure they all remember the damaging NSA collected information they were shown on their first day on the job
That always seems to be the excuse for them failing to live up to their sworn oath.
Maybe they have embarrassing information on them and maybe they don’t. But everyone knows the score and the risks going in.
If they’re in a position to be blackmailed they should be man or woman enough to step down and allow someone who cares about their country more than keeping skeletons in their closet.
Every politician is in a position to be blackmailed. Surely you have seen what MSM can do with a piece of information that has zero significance. NSA has everything anyone ever said on any electronic device, every video that was ever put on a computer or smartphone, all the inferrable and deducible information that the locations and sequences of cell phone use can provide, etc. Politicians are the least likely people psychologically to be able to simply say,”Do it and be damned.” two or three probably have done that but most will not, psychologically can not.
How did Jeff Flake get to be such a flaming liberal?
It is the seduction of power & money.
Carry_Okie asked:
“How did Jeff Flake get to be such a flaming liberal?”
Whose power? Whose money? That's what I want to know.
>>NSA has everything anyone ever said on any electronic device
And yet, nobody I know who went to the 9/12 National Tea Party in 2009 has had any of that alleged “everything” used against them.
That’s a BIG difference with what typically goes on in places like China and Soviet Russia.
Why do you suppose that is?
Leave her hanging until Jan. 2016
Why do you suppose that is?
Socialism is anti-freedom... ALWAYS.. in every case... completely..
I do believe that in another 100 years, we will have memory capacity equal to the transporter challenge, but that's another topic.
They don’t get obvious with it. Yet. We can still vote and are not yet overwhelmed by the New Citizen vote. They will use it where it is effective and doesn’t provoke an effective backlash. Cruz, say, can resist and refuse to go along and it will be let slide because most of them won’t take the chance. And what if he said he was blackmailed? That would undo his credibility totally. Can you imagine the MSM reaction to that? A dozen of Congressmen would have to speak up at one time or serially probably including a couple of Democrats.
>>Why do you suppose that is?
Because America isn’t what metrosexual traitors like Ed Snowden and Bwadley Manning, and their anti-American commie handlers, pretend it is.
At least, evidently, not yet.
Jeff Flake (R-AZ) - Compromised past
Mark Kirk (R-IL) - Illinois RINO
Susan Collins (R-ME) - Northeast RINO
Lindsey Graham (R-SC) - Embarrassing pictures
Orrin Hatch (R-UT) - Never count your Hatch before he chickens
Pathetic, each and every one of them.
What are the chances of a mass national outcry demanding that senators and house reps sign oaths, after a given vote, that that they had voted of their free will and were not subjected to unlawful blackmail, coercion, extortion or bribery in the determination of their vote.
I thought so. lol
They remember why they were elected: because the Republican electorate is stupid.
