With a republican majority in both houses there is no reason for Lynch to be confirmed. A politician's votes says what they support. Apparently Kelly Ayotte (N.H.), Orrin Hatch (Utah), Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Susan Collins (Maine), Jeff Flake (Ariz.), Mark Kirk (Ill.), Rob Portman (Ohio), Thad Cochran (Miss.), Ron Johnson (Wis.) and Mitch McConnell (Ky.) support Eric Holder in a skirt and his nonsense.

Oh there are dozens. I already mentioned one who was in the DOJ. Do you believe that she was the best pick?

Bahahahah is the OP your brother or something?

Maybe you're just mad she went to Harvard and you didn't. The jealousy of the right on display, yet again.

She's doing the bidding of her boss, Obama - who's stance on illegal's is well known as is his plans to allow illegals to continue to come into the US, contrary to the law. She will do as much as she can to support her boss' view as well as bend the law or suggest more executive action that can skirt the law without blatantly breaking the law.

Any attorney who worked for the Bush administration and has been vocal in supporting the most far-right agenda possible (although "possible" seems to be reaching new levels of derpitude every day)
 
When ranting about "affirmative action" hires, why don't they ever mention some guy named Clarence Thomas?

 


Why would I admit I was wrong? The circumstantial evidence speaks for itself. It is way too coincidental that within hours after Limbaughs show a half dozen posters start mimicking his words. Deny it all you want. The evidence speaks for itself.
 
I do wonder at the seeming inability of some folks to speak about their political opponents without the use of juvenile rhetoric; e.g. "Obamatard" when mentioning a very successful attorney


Hmmm, for a woman who supposedly is "pro illegal immigration" she seems to have successfully led at least one illegal immigration case. Then there's the fact that two of the cases listed appear to have been filed against Muslims.

why would someone who went to Yale be upset about someone going to a less college:mrgreen:

You all just hate to admit that affirmative racism was what drove her selection (to several positions)

when the GOP realized they were going to get to replace the first black Justice, White House associate counsel Keisler and Liberman approached Senate Majority leader Mitchell to inquire how the GOP could avoid another Borking. Mitchell told Peter Keisler that the GOP had to pick a black candidate

CT was the best available judge they could pick who met the racial requirements of Mitchell

its the Democrats are why CT was appointed.

Yes he benefited from AA. The Dems are to blame for that

You were busted and last night you sat on this thread for at least 15 minutes after I proved I was consistent

I bashed the twit when she was first announced and then I consistently continued the same line of attack when she was finally confirmed. You just cannot believe anyone would come to the same conclusion without "help"

which is a damning attack on the sheeple mentality of you on the left who project group think to us on the right
 

Well, I was already thinking about their records.

That's not obvious at all. Very likely she got into harvard and graduated and got job offers solely because she's a black female.

We'll put aside racism and bigotry when we end affirmative action. Why are you so opposed to judging people on merit?

Even if she did get their by AA, (and you can't prove that) she's made a good career from her education, and has a qualifying resume. And she's AG now.

Please tell us how you know this, other than she's black, and obviously only whites can win jobs on the merit?

And, of course, the old liberal tactic of attack the messenger is at play also. No need to disprove the argument, just attack Limbaugh instead.

The "argument" has been addressed repeatedly. It consists entirely of "She is black hence by definition unqualified for any position she's had for 40 years, therefore an AA baby."

It's not actually an "argument" that can be addressed. If I assert, for example, that Scott Walker's AG is an incompetent hack hired to take orders from the Koch brothers, how can you disprove that?
 

Say what you want. I'll let the jury decide.

I know what the lowered standards were for blacks at Harvard Law in 1981. She isn't even listed as making honors at Harvard meaning her GPA was under 3.3. I know dozens of people who went to harvard law and close to 100 who got into that school. I know that the best scoring black in her class had scores far lower than hundreds upon hundreds of whites and asians who were denied acceptance

He got caught lying and he's not able to understand why. He seems to think we all waited for Limbaugh before responding to the news that an affirmative action case was confirmed.
 

If you look at the picks by Obama for AG both have been black. why is that?
 

And I'm guessing lots of whites got in with scores lower than 2,000 or 1,000 or "hundreds and hundreds" of white males or whites and asians, depending on what baseless claim you're making at the time.

But let's say that she was admitted under an AA program. They existed and blacks were admitted under them. Lots of rich white boys got into Harvard based on rich daddies. So preferences of all kinds happen in admissions to elite schools. But that's actually just a small part of what you've claimed. You claimed that her entire career spanning "40 years" is nothing but a series of AA promotions in spite of her incompetence or lesser competence, and there is simply zero basis for that kind of conclusion.

And throughout the entire thread, you're making up a bunch of competency tests, making her jump through them, concluding she failed, then asserting that's proof her "only" qualification over an entire 40 year career is she's black and a woman. You don't do that to ANY white male appointed to any job, especially a highly political job like AG.

Just say you don't like her or her politics, same as you don't like Obama and his politics. All the rest is juvenile hackery. And you know better.

79 of 83 picks in U.S. history have been white males. Why is that?

The short answer is obviously the position is inherently political and the POTUS believes that Holder then Lynch were the best picks for that position based on a number of different practical, operational and, yes, political goals, and that both would do an outstanding job. There really cannot be any other reason. You just cannot accept that a black person can earn any job based on the merits. That's your problem, not mine or Lynch's or the Presidents.

Goodness, it's like you're shocked that in this world and especially in the political arena, who you are and who you know matters. You're not an idiot so this comes as no surprise to you. You just object when a white boy doesn't get the job based on his connections.
