In 2006, attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch joined other former U.S. attorneys in an amicus brief in a case before the Supreme Court that maintained the federal law against partial-birth abortion was unconstitutional because the term “living fetus” was too vague for those whose job it was to obey and enforce the ban.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has joined Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid in calling for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to abandon his pre-election promise to fight President Obama’s executive amnesty by holding a vote to confirm U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch as Attorney General.

Attorney General Eric Holder’s Friday memo warning Justice Department employees against soliciting prostitutes did not go far enough, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) says. His concern is the memo does not establish a “zero tolerance policy” at DOJ for employees who purchased sex, as he called for shortly after the report’s release.

In case they were not clear on the concept, Attorney General Eric Holder is warning Justice Department employees against soliciting prostitutes.

The Obama administration, ever eager to inject race into a debate in order to call conservatives racists, is coyly denying charges that the GOP-controlled Senate is holding up Loretta Lynch’s nomination for the post of attorney general because she is black.

With Obama’s attorney general nominee, Loretta Lynch, still lacking the votes for confirmation, Democrats are looking for four pro-gun control Republicans who will cross the aisle and support Lynch’s nomination.

Eric Holder jokes that Senate Republicans seem to want him to stay on as attorney general. “Given the Senate’s scheduling and delays in scheduling Loretta Lynch’s nomination for a vote, it’s almost as if the Republicans in Congress have discovered a new fondness for me,” he tells a progressive group.

In a move defying the GOP base, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has jumped into the confirmation process for Obama’s Attorney General nominee, Loretta Lynch.

Sunday on Fox News Channel’s “America’s News HQ,” Lt. Governor Peter Kinder (R-MO) said Attorney General Eric Holder “on many occasions” seemed to “be inciting the mob.” Kinder  said, “He is sounding the right notes today, this afternoon. I just

Sen. Rand Paul says that President Barack Obama’s Attorney General nominee U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch hasn’t “shown any compassion, or understanding of the law” when it comes to civil forfeiture.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is tripling down in his war to block President Barack Obama’s nominee to replace Eric Holder as Attorney General, U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch, launching a new petition on Friday calling for 10,000 signatures to block the vote.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell doesn’t have to bring U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch, President Barack Obama’s nominee to serve as the next Attorney General of the United States, up on the Senate floor for a vote next week—or ever—if he doesn’t want her confirmed. But he’s doing it anyway.

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani did not say that Barack Obama should be like Bill Cosby. What Giuliani is calling for is a direct confrontation with the racial grievance industry, which is very different from President Obama tossing off a speech here and there where he says intact families are nice.

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) has come out publicly against the nomination of Loretta Lynch to be Attorney General because of her support for President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty. McCain’s announcement comes as he potentially faces strong conservative challengers in a primary election next year.

It was not enough that the chief of police had just resigned. It was not enough that a local judge had quit. It was not enough that the Department of Justice had exonerated former officer Darren Wilson. No–the mob, told by President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder that Ferguson was still guilty of racism, wanted “justice.”

The head of the Republican party isn’t pulling any punches. Reince Priebus wants a full investigation of the relationship between Sen. Robert Menendez and his friend Dr. Solomon Melgen.

Attorney General Eric Holder’s remarks in Selma, AL, “echoed”—according to a report by The Hill—Obama’s comments on Saturday that “the march is not yet over.”

After releasing a report that completely exonerated Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson of any wrongdoing in the death of an 18-year-old strong arm robbery suspect, Attorney General Eric Holder claimed that he was still “prepared” to dismantle the department, because racism was to blame for high rates of black violence and criminality.

No doubt, there will be more news conferences ahead for Menendez. But he’ll have a difficult time topping the New Jersey standards set by previous politicians.

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke (D) said that Attorney General Eric Holder is trying to “put Ferguson, Missouri up on his mantle as another law enforcement agency that he indicted for some sort of racial practices” in reaction reports that the DOJ
