Cruz: It Would Be A 'Travesty' To Hold A Vote On Loretta Lynch
Submitted by Miranda Blue on Monday, 2/23/2015 3:42 pm
In an interview with Newsmax posted online today, Sen. Ted Cruz said that it would be a travesty for the Senate to hold a vote on the nomination of Loretta Lynch to be U.S. attorney general, saying she would be materially worse than Attorney General Holder. Cruz told Newsmax host John Bachman, We have the ability to defeat this nomination, and there are two ways to do so. Number one, if every Republican on the Judiciary Committee simply votes no, the nomination is dead. Secondly, he added, even if the committee votes on her nomination, leadership has the authority simply not to report the nomination to the floor. If leadership brings it to the floor, the Republican Senate will have put in place an attorney general who will continue the lawlessness and abuse of power of President Obama, he said. I think that would be a travesty, I think it would be an abdication of our responsibility, I certainly hope we dont do that.

(30,439 posts)They've already alienated so many blacks and Hispanics.
At this point, I don't think it would make much of a difference.

(99,710 posts)First they pissed off Latinos with their anti-immigration stance. Now they are pissing off African Americans by saying President Obama is a godless communist and not passing his appointments.
What will they do to piss off Asians for the trifecta?
