This isn't the first time Hatch has pulled something like this.
I guess that, whenever a vote from Hatch is important for America, the Democrats remind him of “those photos”....
IMHO, Hatch needs to be replaced by a patriot with nothing to hide.
I sent a letter to my Senator, Marco Rubio, regarding Loretta Lynch:
This activist is quite unsuited and of entirely the wrong mind-set for the position of Attorney General of the United States. She exhibits a contempt for enforcement of existing laws, and it is way more than just “Prosecutorial discretion”.
As an elected or appointed official, the prosecutor is the most powerful official in the criminal justice system. Prosecutors exercise unfettered discretion, deciding who to charge with a crime, what charges to file, when to drop the charges, whether or not to plea bargain, and how to allocate prosecutorial resources. In jurisdictions where the death penalty is in force, the prosecutor literally decides who should live and who should die by virtue of the charging decision.
And as such, the position DEMANDS that a person of reasoned and controlled temperament be in charge. We cannot have a loose-ranging fury unleashed upon what are already threatened freedoms and liberties we have enjoyed for generations, and undoing all the precedents established for fair and even-handed administration of justice. Loretta Lynch has already demonstrated, by word and action, that she shall not proceed along that path, but to a different agenda that does not bode well for the future of the ideals of that great nation, the United States of America.
Please do not vote to confirm her, and to the best of your means, try to persuade your fellow Senators not to support this nomination, for the reasons I have indicated above.
