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

This is the mexico-firster who said illegals have a right to work in america even though the law says they can't!!!! Now she's our top cop.
With a republican majority in both houses there is no reason for Lynch to be confirmed. A politician's votes says what they support. Apparently Kelly Ayotte (N.H.), Orrin Hatch (Utah), Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Susan Collins (Maine), Jeff Flake (Ariz.), Mark Kirk (Ill.), Rob Portman (Ohio), Thad Cochran (Miss.), Ron Johnson (Wis.) and Mitch McConnell (Ky.) support Eric Holder in a skirt and his nonsense.


Senate votes 56-43 to confirm Lynch as attorney general | TheHill
Ten Republican senators broke ranks and sided with Democrats to get Lynch over the 50-vote threshold: Kelly Ayotte (N.H.), Orrin Hatch (Utah), Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Susan Collins (Maine), Jeff Flake (Ariz.), Mark Kirk (Ill.), Rob Portman (Ohio), Thad Cochran (Miss.), Ron Johnson (Wis.) and Mitch McConnell (Ky.).
 
Who would you say would be a better pick?

Oh there are dozens. I already mentioned one who was in the DOJ. Do you believe that she was the best pick?
 
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

Bahahahah is the OP your brother or something?

Maybe you're just mad she went to Harvard and you didn't. The jealousy of the right on display, yet again.

She's doing the bidding of her boss, Obama - who's stance on illegal's is well known as is his plans to allow illegals to continue to come into the US, contrary to the law. She will do as much as she can to support her boss' view as well as bend the law or suggest more executive action that can skirt the law without blatantly breaking the law.
 
Who would you say would be a better pick?

Any attorney who worked for the Bush administration and has been vocal in supporting the most far-right agenda possible (although "possible" seems to be reaching new levels of derpitude every day)
 
When ranting about "affirmative action" hires, why don't they ever mention some guy named Clarence Thomas?

Question 1: Why does Thomas condemn affirmative action if he benefited from it?

Thomas was born in poverty in rural Georgia but managed to gain admittance to Yale Law School. He acknowledges that he made it to Yale because of affirmative action but says the stigma of preferential treatment made it difficult for him to find a job after college.

In his memoir, "My Grandfather's Son," Thomas says he felt "tricked" by paternalistic whites at Yale who recruited black students.

"I was bitter toward the white bigots whom I held responsible for the unjust treatment of blacks," he wrote, "but even more bitter toward those ostensibly unprejudiced whites who pretended to side with black people while using them to further their own political and social ends."
<snip>
If affirmative action is so bad for its recipients, how come you've done so well?

"His entire judicial philosophy is at war with his own biography," said Michael Fletcher, co-author of "Supreme Discomfort: The Divided Soul of Clarence Thomas." "He's arguably benefited from affirmative action every step of the way."
 
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.


Why would I admit I was wrong? The circumstantial evidence speaks for itself. It is way too coincidental that within hours after Limbaughs show a half dozen posters start mimicking his words. Deny it all you want. The evidence speaks for itself.
 
I do wonder at the seeming inability of some folks to speak about their political opponents without the use of juvenile rhetoric; e.g. "Obamatard" when mentioning a very successful attorney

The 5 Most Interesting Cases of Attorney General Nominee Loretta Lynch’s Career

Appointed U.S. Attorney by President Clinton in 1999 and again by President Obama in 2010, Lynch would bring a wealth of expertise to the DOJ -- the Harvard-educated lawyer also served as a member of the board of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and was a litigation partner at Hogan & Hartson L.L.P.

Even so, Lynch is an unconventional choice for the Obama administration – she is not part of the president’s inner circle and remains doggedly low-profile.

1. United States v. Volpe
Lynch was a member of the trial team that convicted several NYPD officers involved in the torture of Haitian immigrant Abner Louima in August 1997.

2. United States v. Nafis
Lynch also prosecuted a string of accused terrorists, including Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis, a Bangladeshi man convicted in a sting operation of attempting to blow up the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in October 2012.

3. United States v. Farrukh Baig et al
In June 2013, Lynch announced a major immigration bust at more than a dozen 7-Eleven stores in New York and Virginia.

4. United States v. Sanderlin
Lynch’s office handled the prosecution of so-called “pot mom” Andrea Sanderlin, a wealthy suburban woman who in June 2013 was accused of running a $3 million, 1,000-plant marijuana operation she called “Fantastic Enterprises” out of a warehouse in Queens.

5. United States v. Michael Grimm
Lynch also led the investigation of Republican Rep. Michael Grimm, NY, who was indicted in April on 20 counts ranging from tax fraud to perjury to obstruction of justice.

Hmmm, for a woman who supposedly is "pro illegal immigration" she seems to have successfully led at least one illegal immigration case. Then there's the fact that two of the cases listed appear to have been filed against Muslims.
 
Bahahahah is the OP your brother or something?

Maybe you're just mad she went to Harvard and you didn't. The jealousy of the right on display, yet again.

why would someone who went to Yale be upset about someone going to a less college:mrgreen:

You all just hate to admit that affirmative racism was what drove her selection (to several positions)
 
When ranting about "affirmative action" hires, why don't they ever mention some guy named Clarence Thomas?

when the GOP realized they were going to get to replace the first black Justice, White House associate counsel Keisler and Liberman approached Senate Majority leader Mitchell to inquire how the GOP could avoid another Borking. Mitchell told Peter Keisler that the GOP had to pick a black candidate

CT was the best available judge they could pick who met the racial requirements of Mitchell

its the Democrats are why CT was appointed.

Yes he benefited from AA. The Dems are to blame for that

You were busted and last night you sat on this thread for at least 15 minutes after I proved I was consistent

I bashed the twit when she was first announced and then I consistently continued the same line of attack when she was finally confirmed. You just cannot believe anyone would come to the same conclusion without "help"

which is a damning attack on the sheeple mentality of you on the left who project group think to us on the right
 
Mornin Cresto. :2wave: Hope things have been well with ya.

I thought it was considered Historic too. Wonder how many FOIA's he was holding off too.

So, we will have to go thru this all over again once we get an Asian AG, man and woman.....huh? Then an Indian AG, oh and course then the Ultimate AG. One that is a Muslim.

Should we get this over with quickly so that we can end all the Historic bs and then be left to focus on their records and not playing lapdog?

Well, I was already thinking about their records.
 
That's not obvious at all. Very likely she got into harvard and graduated and got job offers solely because she's a black female.

We'll put aside racism and bigotry when we end affirmative action. Why are you so opposed to judging people on merit?

Even if she did get their by AA, (and you can't prove that) she's made a good career from her education, and has a qualifying resume. And she's AG now.

Please tell us how you know this, other than she's black, and obviously only whites can win jobs on the merit?

And, of course, the old liberal tactic of attack the messenger is at play also. No need to disprove the argument, just attack Limbaugh instead.

The "argument" has been addressed repeatedly. It consists entirely of "She is black hence by definition unqualified for any position she's had for 40 years, therefore an AA baby."

It's not actually an "argument" that can be addressed. If I assert, for example, that Scott Walker's AG is an incompetent hack hired to take orders from the Koch brothers, how can you disprove that?

Say what you want. I'll let the jury decide.

I know what the lowered standards were for blacks at Harvard Law in 1981. She isn't even listed as making honors at Harvard meaning her GPA was under 3.3. I know dozens of people who went to harvard law and close to 100 who got into that school. I know that the best scoring black in her class had scores far lower than hundreds upon hundreds of whites and asians who were denied acceptance

He got caught lying and he's not able to understand why. He seems to think we all waited for Limbaugh before responding to the news that an affirmative action case was confirmed.

If you look at the picks by Obama for AG both have been black. why is that?

And I'm guessing lots of whites got in with scores lower than 2,000 or 1,000 or "hundreds and hundreds" of white males or whites and asians, depending on what baseless claim you're making at the time.

But let's say that she was admitted under an AA program. They existed and blacks were admitted under them. Lots of rich white boys got into Harvard based on rich daddies. So preferences of all kinds happen in admissions to elite schools. But that's actually just a small part of what you've claimed. You claimed that her entire career spanning "40 years" is nothing but a series of AA promotions in spite of her incompetence or lesser competence, and there is simply zero basis for that kind of conclusion.

And throughout the entire thread, you're making up a bunch of competency tests, making her jump through them, concluding she failed, then asserting that's proof her "only" qualification over an entire 40 year career is she's black and a woman. You don't do that to ANY white male appointed to any job, especially a highly political job like AG.

Just say you don't like her or her politics, same as you don't like Obama and his politics. All the rest is juvenile hackery. And you know better.
 
If you look at the picks by Obama for AG both have been black. why is that?

79 of 83 picks in U.S. history have been white males. Why is that?

The short answer is obviously the position is inherently political and the POTUS believes that Holder then Lynch were the best picks for that position based on a number of different practical, operational and, yes, political goals, and that both would do an outstanding job. There really cannot be any other reason. You just cannot accept that a black person can earn any job based on the merits. That's your problem, not mine or Lynch's or the Presidents.

Goodness, it's like you're shocked that in this world and especially in the political arena, who you are and who you know matters. You're not an idiot so this comes as no surprise to you. You just object when a white boy doesn't get the job based on his connections.
