Attorney General Loretta Lynch to defend Obama’s amnesty

January 28, 2015 by 6 Comments

Politico — Attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch plans to tell senators that she doesn’t believe President Barack Obama has blanket power to grant “amnesty” to undocumented immigrants, but she’ll argue that the president’s sweeping moves on the issue have stayed within the bounds of the Constitution.

As her confirmation hearings begin Wednesday in the Senate Judiciary Committee, Lynch will aim for a balancing act with Republicans who hope to derail her nomination by seizing on her views about immigration and Obama’s use of executive power, according to a person involved in her preparations.

Lynch, 55, will not be drawn into “political back-and-forth on issues” such as immigration and will “calmly and dispassionately emphasize her record as an independent, career prosecutor,” the person said. While she will support Obama’s legal rationale for his actions on immigration, she will express caution about going too far, the source said — and she’ll contend that the president’s latest unilateral steps don’t amount to “amnesty.”

She also will tell the panel that the Constitution will be her “lodestar” in determining the legality of the president’s actions, the source said.

    This “woman” should never be the AG!
    She is just a female obama! I would NOT
    believe a word she says! From what I
    understand she hates Jews and this is
    NOT right! Congress should NEVER
    vote for anyone obama recommends period!
    There are others much more qualified!
    If obama says it is good, then everyone
    should know it is BAD!

    Several in Congress have said that she will probably be confirmed; she is a friend of Eric Holders wife; that’s another reason for her not right for this job and we know that Obama picked her, so automatically she is just ship for the job

    Another African American in power that seems hell bent on destroying European America! This seems to be their goal. IMO

    A “friend” of Eric Holders wife? Conflict of interest isn’t it?
