Did anyone think one of the Senate’s most reliable RINOs, who’s up for reelection next year not just in a very blue state but in Barack Obama’s home state, and who supported the Schumer/Rubio Gang of Eight amnesty bill, was going to go to the mat to block Obama’s pick for AG to protest executive amnesty?
Conservative Republicans won’t stick up for religious liberty even in red states for fear of being called bigots. The odds of a moderate Republican opposing the first black woman Attorney General of the United States in a Democratic stronghold were precisely zero.
“I am confident from my conversation with Loretta Lynch that she will be a valuable partner in confronting the gang violence that is robbing families of their children every day in Chicago,” Kirk, a senator from Illinois, said in a statement.
All 44 Senate Democrats and two independents are expected to vote for Lynch, who would be the first African-American woman to head the Justice Department…
Prior to Thursday, four Republicans indicated they would vote for Lynch’s nomination, and with Kirk, there potentially would be a majority in the Senate to confirm her.
Kirk has an excuse: A no vote here could hurt him next year in his Senate race in Illinois. What’s the excuse for Jeff Flake, Lindsey Graham, and Orrin Hatch, all three of whom come from red states and none of whom is up in 2016? (Susan Collins is the other Republican supporting Lynch.) I realize that Graham and Flake are amnesty shills, but even they should be capable of rebuking Obama for seizing Congress’s power over immigration for himself.

Farewell America. We loved you not well enough.
Congress hearts The Kook Aid.
I heard a rumor that the Republicans won the Senate last year. I keep meaning to check into it, but every day I read the news and realize it must be one of those hoaxes.
Paging Ann Coulter. Remind us again why it was so important that we support liberal RINO senate candidates rather than unseating them in the primaries?
Another Republican caveman.....
What a pathetic rationale.

Either that or every one of them has a closet full of skeletons that they are fearful will escape and tell all..
Was there ever any doubt? Rats and GOPe are on the same gravy train.
theyre fully cognizant of just how much information the NSA has collected on all..if us..
they may know how easy it is to if necessary Invent Evidence to end a career here and there when necessary.
Id like to hear Ted Cruz address the spying stuff..ASAP
Of course she will be confirmed, the GOPe just has to figure out how to not be seen as caving too badly

The beltway in crowd won the senate.
He has a choice between dishonor and defeat. If he chooses dishonor he’ll get defeat anyway. But that doesn’t really matter: in the uniparty loyalty to the crohy class is all that matters. Stay loyal and youre set for life.
Linda Graham is a RINO. I think Orrin Hatch forgot what his name was years ago - senile serial office holder.
Menendez might not.
For example we are on the hairy edge of having a Supreme Court that would be at home hearing date rape and hate speech cases (and expelling the usual parties) on the most left wing campuses in the country.
Thanks alot Orrin, John, & Lindsey. You guys are the best.
Oh, well, anyone nominated by Obama would have been a bad choice. Loretta Lynch seems no worse than the rest of this administration and an improvement over Eric Holder.
If you are a Republican and vote for this IDIOT in the PRIMARY OR GENERAL ELECTION, you are the problem. If this SOB wins the primary, VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRAT. I am contributing to ANYONE who votes against him, in EITHER election!
