Some Republicans worry me. Lynch even more. She totally agrees with Obama on how to handle the illegals.
The political reality of the appointment process changed when democrats refused to support the Supreme Court appointment of Robert Bork, solely and expressly on partisan, ideological grounds. Robert Bork was the most qualified jurist in American history not to be confirmed. The shift from opposing appointees on grounds of qualification to opposing them on grounds of political beliefs became known as “Borking.” It’s an unpleasant reality in our modern society when political views themselves disqualify otherwise qualified nominees. It is further evidence of the failure of both parties and the steep decline in substantive bipartisanship that use to permit the parties, on occasion, to simply do the right thing for our country.
This analysis brings us to the curious case of Loretta Lynch. By nearly every calculable measure, Ms. Lynch holds the necessary qualifications to be the Attorney General of the United States. Her resume is impressive, and her career is substantial. She holds political views with which I disagree, and she embraces a view of division and anger on some issues that I find unhelpful to her prospective post. To be sure, if I were President, she would not have been my nominee for the Attorney General of the United States. Unfortunately for Ms. Lynch, she also arrives at the wrong time in history, appointed by the wrong President. These facts have to be considered as part of her nomination hearing process.
Very interesting article that I am sure those interested in legal matters will want to use the link to read.
