Actually, Hatch isn’t leaning. He’s onboard. Just as he was in confirming Eric Holder, a few years before he ran for reelection in Utah as the Senate’s oldest, strongest conservative.

Following this morning’s hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee on the confirmation of Attorney General nominee Loretta Lynch, Senator Hatch said:

The Justice Department is in dire need of new leadership. For too long its decisions have been politicized and its leaders have facilitated executive abuses by this President rather than upholding the rule of law. Throughout her confirmation hearing, Ms. Lynch has demonstrated her qualifications and made specific commitments to work with Congress. I plan to support her nomination and will seek to help ensure that she upholds her commitments to enforce the law.

[C19fan]

Of course another waving the white flag GOPe moment. Has these guys since taking power done anything a conservative would actually like? So much for the Obama threatening the republic with his executive orders. How threatening can it be when the body Obama is bending over does nothing substantive to stop him.

If I read this as Loretta Lynn one more time, I’ll scream.

[House Atreides]

This vote is another way to help separate the wheat from the chaff. If only the worthless RINO chaff would blow away out of our lives.

Agreed ... I think they do it on porpoise

I think Hatch should have it closed upon him

If I read this as Loretta Lynn one more time, I’ll scream.

I expect that Loretta Lynch will be more like Tammy Wynette.

What will it take for Republicans to actually say NO! to an 0bama appointee?
Charles Manson? Even that is doubtful at this point.

[stephenjohnbanker]

This nominee is for TOTAL amnesty, so the GOPe will confirm her. Hatch, Graham, and especially that evil traitor from my home state, Flake, will lead the way.

[miss marmelstein]

I guess in my dreams she would be the next AG. I don’t know her politics but she is a great singer.

Recommend by Obama. Black. Good grief. Another lib I’ll warrant.

[dfwgator]

I’m afraid we have reached the point where a black has to be replaced with another black.

[tumblindice]

She’s definitely easier on the eyes. Ms Lynch looks like another Perpetually Angry Black Woman.

[FlingWingFlyer]

This would indicate to me that the Lynchmeister is a lot worse than we think she is.

[Fightin Whitey]

Liberal isn’t the word.

She is a lunatic leftist who testified yesterday that an illegal alien in America has every bit as much right to take a job as a citizen does.

She said “everyone here deserves the same chance.”

And the Republicans are voting for her.

May God help us.

[dware]

See? We did a wonderful thing! We got the R’s into the majority, so now Obola gets everything he wants!!! Yay for us!

[onedoug]

What’s the use?

[drypowder]

The DC establishment must be protected and it will be safe with her as the AG.

[Beowulf9]

I’m going to be sick.
