Get Ready for Holder 2.0: Lynch Confirmed as New AG

Not surprised. The GOP is about as useful as tits on a bull.

From Fox News.

Federal prosecutor Loretta Lynch won confirmation to serve as attorney general Thursday from a Senate that forced her to wait more than five months for the title and remained divided to the end.

The 56-43 vote installs Lynch, 55, now U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York, as the first black woman in the nation’s top law enforcement post. She will replace Eric Holder, a perennial lightning rod for conservatives who was once held in contempt of Congress.

The vote total for Lynch was the lowest for any attorney general since Michael Mukasey won confirmation with 53 votes in 2007 after Democrats decried his refusal to describe waterboarding as torture.

For Lynch, the issue that tore into her support with Republicans was immigration and her refusal to denounce President Obama’s executive actions limiting deportations for millions of people living illegally in this country. Questioned on the issue at her confirmation hearing in January, she said that she believed Obama’s actions were reasonable and lawful.

Of course, she stands by Obama’s illegal, unconstitutional actions. She’s a DemProg tool.

A contingent of RINO chickenshits voted ‘yea’:

Still, Lynch won the support of 10 Republicans, more than expected in the days heading into the vote. In a surprise, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., was among those voting “yes.”

Ted Cruz (R-TX) was the only one actively fighting against it. And RINOs Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Senator Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) opposed his effort to stop it.

Add the following Republicans to the RINO hall of shame:

Sens. Kelly Ayotte (N.H.), Thad Cochran (Miss.), Susan Collins (Maine), Jeff Flake (Ariz.), Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Orrin Hatch (Utah), Ron Johnson (Wis.), Mark Kirk (Ill.), Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).

When the bitch picks up where corruptocrat Holder left off, send them a personal “thanks for screwing the country”.
