Granted, the Attorney General has always bed a political position. After all, the AG is a Cabinet Member appointed by The President.
But The Senate does have a Constitutional Duty. The President's choice is just the first step in the process. The Senate has an equal say in the matter, in fact, the final say.
The Left is throwing out the usual "racism" and "sexism" crap as to the reason the Senate, (controlled by the Republicans), will not confirm her, when the truth is, she is a ignorant of the Balance of Powers built into thr Constitution as is President Obama. She thinks the President should be able to do what he pleases, the Senate is reminding the Country that we have three, and equal, Branches of Government.
We just had an election where the People sent a clear message. The People want the Senate to reign in President Obama's use of "executive orders", where he is getting close to making up his own laws and telling the Congress to get fucked.
President Obama could have sent a nominee up who would not prove to be boot licking lackey for his agenda, but he didn't. He chose to play Politics, and the Senate is choosing to play Hard Ball.
Don't confirm her. We deserve an Attorney General that will be the Chief Law Enforcement Officer for all the people.
