The Right Is Lining Up Its Anti-Loretta Lynch Talking Points



Want to know how the GOP is going to prevent Loretta Lynch's confirmation if Harry Reid can't get her confirmed in the lame-duck session? This is the first line of attack:

Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Mike Lee (R-UT) said Saturday that President Barack Obama's nomination to replace Attorney General Eric Holder, Brooklyn U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch, must denounce Obama's planned executive amnesty.

"President Obama's Attorney General nominee deserves fair and full consideration of the United States Senate, which is precisely why she should not be confirmed in the lame duck session of Congress by senators who just lost their seats and are no longer accountable to the voters," Cruz and Lee said in a joint statement. "The Attorney General is the President's chief law enforcement officer. As such, the nominee must demonstrate full and complete commitment to the law. Loretta Lynch deserves the opportunity to demonstrate those qualities, beginning with a statement whether or not she believes the President’s executive amnesty plans are constitutional and legal."


. . .unless Lynch denounces the man who appointed her, they're going to raise holy hell. Even ostensibly pro-reform senators such as Graham, McCain, and Rubio are going to say that they support an overhaul of the law but not "lawlessness."

we're being played. She's perfectly acceptable to Wall Street and will be confirmed. The rest is all theater.
