I was hoping she would not be confirmed. Her views/record on civil asset forfeiture are terrifying.
Loretta Lynch Has No Problem With Civil Asset Forfeiture -- And That's A Problem - Forbes
Thank goodness - an actual critique of Lynch that isn't entirely based on her being a black woman and her college records from 35 years ago.
And it's one I entirely agree with. Our own GOP legislature punted on the issue this year thanks to opposition from police and DAs, who love it of course because they get to keep the money they seize, with or without evidence or the need to prove a crime. It's always amazed me that the practice hasn't been struck down nationwide by the courts.
