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

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!


Like I said.....not even in on the knowing with the bottomline. :roll: Seems you weren't aware of the Memo.

The current Attorney General, Eric Holder,[3] was confirmed to office by the Senate on February 2, 2009, and sworn into office on February 3, 2009.[4] Holder is the 82nd United States Attorney General and the first African-American to hold the position. On September 25, 2014, he announced his resignation pending the appointment and approval of a successor.[5] .....snip~

OK, we've moved far afield on a side topic that was silly to begin with. I won't wait on the mods to shut this part of the discussion down.

Yeah its understandable since you couldn't figure out that Holder would still remain as the AG and the US would still have its top cop in office. Ensuring that truth justice and all that equality was still operating.

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.

ITS PATENTLY OBVIOUS HER COLOR is her prime qualification,., That you think only Rush can see this you really don't think things through
 
This is insane. Not only is she anti-america, but she is also a double affirmative action baby being both black and female. Totally unqualified but none of that matters anymore. Without AA she'd be a waitress.

Wow, so much dog whistle mongering and stupidity in one post.

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



Obama Taps Loretta Lynch, Top Prosecutor on Long Island, to be Next AG | Long Island News from the Long Island Press

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?

I guess you cannot figure out that TOP means the ranking prosecutor not the BEST prosecutor

Holder is currently the TOP prosecuting attorney in the Federal government. Do you want to tell me he is the most skilled

You really don't know much about DOJ do you? The US ATTORNEY almost never tries cases. PEOPLE GET THOSE JOBS for political reasons not trial expertise. WE have had two US Attorneys (Same position that Loretta had) in my district who had never ever tried a federal jury case before their appointment--and that was in the last 20 years.
 
I see none of the Obama fan boys on this thread want to deal with this question

DOES ANYONE BELIEVE that these two successive black appointees to the AG office were the best and the brightest attorneys Obama could find in the Department of Justice?

Well, what I care about is this is a person who was a-okay, under oath, with Obama's blatant unconstitutional actions.
 
Republicans are a joke. They take their corporate bribes and sell out their country and their party. You can buy a republican with a steak dinner.

Hillary is much better, huh?
 
Alright, let's assume Ben Carson is a beneficiary of affirmative action. So what? If he was, it's because otherwise an obviously brilliant medical mind, of the 1 in 10,000 or 1 in 100,000 type, couldn't have gotten a fair chance at a career in medicine?


Assume?? Carson has admitted he got in thru affirmative action. Read this article

Articles: Ben Carson in His Own Words

Does that prove he also got the benefit of affirmative action grading to keep him in school?. No but it's very strong evidence. If you have to lower standards to get someone in, you very likely must also lower standards to keep them there. Odds are carson is a mediocre neurosurgeon and the press has been lying to build him up. Just like they told us obozo was a professor at harvard when he was more like part-time instructor.

I care about that too. How can we have an AG who says illegals have a right to work here when the LAW says they don't??? Repubs should have not only rejected her for that statement but also turned her into a national laughingstock. Instead they let it slide. FAct is both parties are paid huge corporate bribes to support illegal invaders.

I'm honestly trying to figure out if you're trying to parody a delusional right winger or are the real thing. :doh

I'm sorry dude.....but you guys are too obvious. I don't know what it is that compels such rabid devotion that people start spouting within hours after his show. You guys aren't fooling anyone.

1) for a guy who claims to be an attorney, your Proof sure sucks

2)this affirmative action poster child has been called that since the day Obama mentioned her as a replacement of Holder

3) Go ahead and prove that we got this from Rush. Your lies aren't fooling anyone. Do you think Rush's comments are so astute that no one else would say the same thing? her status is beyond patently obvious. She SCREAMS affirmative action. and anyone who finds it a joke that Obama had to pick another affirmative action quota pick to replace his first one is going to say that

4) so given your massive experience with say the DOJ and the attorneys in it-is it your learned opinion that this woman, (as was the case with Holder) was the best available Dept of Justice (or I should say in the USA-after all most AGs don't come from the DOJ-Ashcroft didn't, Robert Kennedy didn't, Bill Barr didn't, Janet Reno didn't, Griffin Bell Didn't) attorney for the job?

I'm not buying it. You and the other wingers were out in full force an hour after Limbaughs show. Too much of a coincidence.

put up or shut up. I was calling this twit an affirmative action poster child weeks ago

you may apologize or run off

another affirmative action poster child apparently. I will have to do some checking on her since her wiki article is really thin


she is the same class as I was (1984) back then affirmative action at Harvard law was out of control. NONE of the blacks who were accepted at Harvard for the class of 1984 were as qualified as at least 2000 white males who were turned down at that school

back then blacks got .5 added to their GPA and 130 points added to their LSAT scores
 
I guess some cannot figure out that what made us post about this Obamatard was that she was just confirmed. Not because Rush Limbaugh commented on her. I am waiting for the guy who claimed that Limbaugh instigated this to admit he was wrong. Maybe the guy who "liked" his claim will do the same.

No, but since that's your own made up benchmark for the position, irrelevant. It's a political job. You know this, so it's a mystery who you're trying to fool with this.

Can't figure out if it's democrats you don't like, or Democratic black lawyers, but it's hilarious how you create arbitrary standards that you don't apply to anyone else in political positions, conclude Holder and Lynch fail your made up and arbitrary standards, then pretend like you've made some point other than you don't approve of Obama's picks.

It might be easier to say you don't approve. This tack just makes you look petty.

Yeah, where's Ed Meese when you need him? ;)

Nice Dodge but you essentially are saying what I already know. her race is what got her just about every law job she has had

This is where the defense attorney says, "Objection, Your Honor. Assumes facts not in evidence." ;)

Who would you say would be a better pick?

If that's me - can't remember what posts I liked - I don't care enough to admit or deny. What was funny is how the right wingers all jumped in with the same BS, which took various forms of "she is black, therefore unqualified and an AA pick."

TD: " I will have to do some checking on her since her wiki article is really thin"

TD: "another affirmative action poster child who has spend almost 40 years getting positions solely due to her race"

So you don't know anything about her, except she's a black woman, which obviously means she has achieved NOTHING in life other than being a black woman. Not sure if that kind of lazy thinking came from Rush Limbaugh, but it's dumb enough to! Or even from one of his less talented and more wingnut imitators.

BTW, got a link about those LSATs and grades. I'm a bit confused.

NONE of the blacks who were accepted at Harvard for the class of 1984 were as qualified as at least 2000 white males who were turned down at that school

Admittedly "as qualified" is a little subjective so I'm not sure it's possible to cite evidence for such a claim. But this IS specific:

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.

One time it's 2,000 white men who were "more qualified" but later it's only 1,000 white men with better scores than any black woman. It's almost like you're making up numbers.... Anyway, love to see the links.
 
Nice Dodge but you essentially are saying what I already know. her race is what got her just about every law job she has had

It's not a dodge. AG is a political job. No POTUS in recent history has started a search for AG with "find me the best and brightest attorney in DOJ." Two different jobs, two different skill sets.

And you know exactly nothing about how she got any of her jobs. You just look like a bitter right wing hack making claims like that.
