Senate confirms lynch as attorney general. 10 "republicans" vote for her

Yea, I'm sure the DOJ just kept her around cause she's black :roll:

I've read too many of your posts TD. If someone disagrees with your politics you start name calling and calling into question their intelligence, their abilities, their qualifications. You're a biased political hack. If you want to tell me unaccomplished she is then give me a name and lets compare them against her and lets see if she's really as poor of a choice as you say.

I am questioning that the two best possible Obama picks for AG were both black when neither one of them had a particularly distinguished academic career.

Here is a name who was in main justice and then the US attorney's office for NY when Holder was picked

Sara M. Lord

received the top prize at Yale given to the best graduating senior for scholarship

Rhodes Scholar

Magna Cum Laude at Harvard Law School

So you're twisting his words then calling it a lie or something?

He's saying that she will ensure that everyone gets equal shot at justice. If you have a problem with that please state it.

No I didn't twist his words.....I used his exact words and stated he, just like you did about TD and him not showing AA. That BO can't show this confirmation Ensures anything.
 
There's a difference between kicking out hateful people and suppressing all dissenting voice. There's no danger of DP coming homogenous in political views!

We will all be komrades someday soon. Glory to Arstotzka!

 
Just seems a little more than a coincidence that within an hour a half dozen of the right-winger took to this site to start spouting off about "affirmative action" and the attorney general. Do you really believe that people are going to believe that you all just came up with the same idea all at the same time?
\just like all the far left Obama fluffers started defending her.

hard to believe they all came up with this need to defend their quota child at once

BTW I have been here about 10 years and I have always been an acidic critic of the racist system known as affirmative action
 
I wouldn't know. I don't listen to him. I do note that the people who seem most devoted to his show are the far lefties who seem to live for a reason to whine about Rush

are you denying that the new AG is not an affirmative action poster child? She is the same age as me. I had friends at her college and her law school. If she had been white-none of those people would have ever have met her
God, you are such a racist. Didn't you also say that you refuse to have a black doctor since you think black doctors aren't qualified?

Most of the people screaming about affirmative action are just trying to drown out the figurative voices in their head reminding them that their success has been influenced by other forms of affirmative action like legacies, etc..
 
As usual, your comment adds nothing of substance to the discussion.

A better account of her qualifications.


for a white applicant (we both were accepted at Harvard law the same year-I went to another school) to get into the class of 1984 at HLS, that white applicant (from Yale) had to be at Least MAGNA cum Laude with a 99th percentile LSAT score (over 770 or so)

I don't see any evidence the individual in question was Magna or even CUM LAUDE at Harvard. Do you, if I missed it

3/4's of the High school valedictorians applying to Harvard get turned down BTW

So she's more qualified than loretta lynch because she did better while in college?


You can't seriously be suggesting that the person with the most collegiate accolades is always the best pick for AG.

Heya TD. :2wave: Well I didn't see to many getting all loopy over Gonzales being the First Hispanic AG. It was Historic.....a crowning moment in time for the Nation. Where was all the hoopla about him being qualified and ready to do the job?

Wasn't he also suppose to align himself with Bush Jr? Right.....isn't that what Bush Jr was suppose to do?

Oh she was a top prosecutor at main justice-head of the criminal division a couple times etc. far better qualified. Ben Glassman in the Southern District of Ohio would be way ahead of her too-he was Magna Cum Laude at Harvard Law. Summa at Rice. I can keep going when I get back.

I bashed Gonzo too. He was lame (though I do have a nice picture with him in my office but I also have one with Reno and Holder somewhere too!)

I was wondering how many FOIA's Gonzales was holding up compared to Holder. I doubt she will have enough time to hold up as many.

Don't forget Mitchell under Nixon ended up getting time.
 
God, you are such a racist. Didn't you also say that you refuse to have a black doctor since you think black doctors aren't qualified?

Be careful. Calling out people for blatant racism can be a no-no around here. /facepalm
 
That's Right reading is Fun and mental......What Happened where did you still get lost?


Loretta's confirmation ensures......snip~


Was that suppose to be a display of that alleged smart power that you thought you had? ;)

What he said was "Loretta's confirmation ensures we are BETTER POSITIONED.... "

I explained it. Quote me and tell me where I'm wrong. Or not. This is stupid semantics.
 
In the year she applied to Harvard law-over 1000 white men and 200 or more white women had higher GPA/LSAT scores (and were rejected) than the top scoring black woman.

1) Link?
2) So what? Harvard doesn't admit people based on a formula. I don't know exactly what's involved, but I imagine it involves a review of the transcript, the college you attended, recommendations, essays, maybe an interview. If any white boy had lower LSATs and/or GPA than Ms. Lynch you've proved nothing at all.
3) How do the legacy admissions stand up to your scrutiny?

And your slur was very broad - "another affirmative action poster child who has spend almost 40 years getting positions solely due to her race."

Forty years is a long time, covers her admission to Harvard college, and her entire career. You're damn good at insinuating stuff, but haven't provided anything of substance. At best you've demonstrated that on paper others had better records in college. Is it your view that a person's life is judged by their test scores and GPA in college? I look at her record and see an accomplished career. Other than she is black and accomplished, you have nothing informed to say about her or her career, how competently she did any job, or what her coworkers say about working with or for her.

You're holding a black woman to a standard you've NEVER used for any other white male political figure, and I imagine to a standard you never use in your professional life, unless you're an awfully shallow individual who doesn't associate with riff raff who didn't graduate from an elite school with superior grades. It's kind of amusing, but beneath you.

Loretta's Confirmation doesn't ensure we are better positioned.

The Confirmation ensures nothing of the sort nor to any part of his statement. I already did and now again.

sure he can
and does

puts his logical, legal scholarship and reasoning out there for us all to see
 
You labor under the delusion that if Rush doesn't think of us, no one else will

Not at all.....it is far too coincidental to believe that within hours after Limbaugh's show criticizing her nomination on affirmative action grounds that out of the blue a half dozen right-wingers on this site start criticizing her on affirmative action grounds. It was no coincidence despite your protestations. Sorry.

And for what reason would you say that Loretta Lynch wasn't a top prosecutor?

Lynch, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York—which prosecutes federal crimes in Nassau, Suffolk, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island—has overseen cases high-profile local cases that include those involving terrorists, gangsters, corrupt public officials, Wall Street scammers and human traffickers. Those prosecutions may be dissected during her upcoming U.S. Senate confirmation hearings.

...

Notable cases she’s overseen in her 30 years as a prosecutor include 7-Eleven owners who exploited undocumented immigrants, charging reputed mobsters allegedly involved in the infamous $6-million Lufthansa heist 35 years after the fact and al-Qaeda recruits from LI and beyond—those who plotted to blow up the Long Island Rail Road, subway and The Federal Reserve in New York City, one of Lynch’s prior employers.

She also oversaw prosecutions of four sitting elected lawmakers—three fellow Democrats and one GOP member—including U.S. Rep. Michael Grimm (R-Staten Island) and ex-New York State Senate Majority Leader John Sampson (D-Queens), who were both re-elected last week despite their pending trials. That’s in addition to securing multi-billion-dollar settlements from banks accused of malfeasance and being part of the team that prosecuted an ex-NYPD detective who sodomized Haitian immigrant Abner Louima with a broomstick in ’97.

You are looking foolish TD. Why is your "top" prosecutor the best pick ever and why is Loretta Lynch just some dumb ass who is only nominated cause she's a black female?
 
Loretta's Confirmation doesn't ensure we are better positioned.

It doesn't? How do you know? Would the country be better positioned without an AG at all? Are you confident she'll do a worse job than Holder. If not, then her confirmation WILL better position the country to do those things! :lamo

That's not how it works.....are you saying if she wasn't confirmed that Holder would not remain as the AG?

So you never knew what the bottomline was in the first place? Now that is Hilarious.

Without AA she'd be a waitress.

while your thread about Hillary's van going too fast will go down in internet history as one of the greatest threads of all time and this one can't touch that, this comment has propelled this thread to elite status as well. nice work.

Is there some kind of constitutional requirement for Holder to remain as AG until his successor is appointed? Huh.... didn't know that because it's not true.... Often there would be an 'acting' step up. So how do you know this 'acting' person would do a better job than Lynch? You have a crystal ball? Please tell me the price of AAPL in 12 months!
