发帖数: 1026 | 1 Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is demanding that Republicans block the nomination of
Loretta Lynch as attorney general until President Barack Obama relents on
his immigration policies.
The likely presidential candidate said in an interview Tuesday that
Republicans should use “every procedural tool” to block Obama’s move to
defer deportations for roughly 5 million undocumented immigrants — calling
on the GOP-led Senate Judiciary Committee to block her nomination and Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to deny her a confirmation vote on
the floor.

“For several months now, I have called on the Senate majority leader to
halt confirmations of every nominee executive and judicial, other than vital
national security positions, unless or until the president rescinds his
unconstitutional amnesty,” Cruz told POLITICO in the Capitol. “We have an
opportunity in front of us right now with Loretta Lynch — a nominee for
attorney general — who has fully embraced and flat-out promised to
implement the unconstitutional amnesty.”
Denying her confirmation, the conservative firebrand said, is “a concrete
and definitive step we can take right now, using the tools that the
Constitution gives Congress to rein in the president’s lawlessness.” |
