how soon will she be confirmed?
Number_58
I'm one of the deplorables lefty warns you about.
Stupid question...she gets voted on before the party shift in January...and since Harry invoked the nuclear option last year, she only needs a simple majority to be affirmed.
Now, starting in January...these simple majorities, for the next two years of Obama's monarchial reign, are done. Harry and his minions are about to find out what happens when they are rendered impotent. Their time would be better spent at home...they will have zero input on anything in a couple months.

According to the following cut & paste, the POTUS will wait for confirmation until the new Congress is sworn in. This is an excellent move, politically. If the Pubs hold up the confirmation, they will continue to be tagged as obstructionists. This lady has an amazing resume' as a prosecuting attorney. If the new Senate confirms her, the Pubs have "bought in" to seeing that she suceeds.
The candidate for AG has an current case where she has indicted a Republican Congressman for tax fraud. That legislator was re-elected to the House last Tuesday. She has indicted mobsters, legislators, police officers... and is conducting an investigaton into money laundering by a close associate of Putin. She is not awed by titles and associations. Pretty hard-nosed enforcement history.
"Obama decided against the option of trying to push Lynch's confirmation while Democrats still control the Senate and instead will leave it up to the Republican-controlled Senate to vote on the choice in 2015, according to the people who described Obama's plans. They spoke only on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the record.
Democrats on Capitol Hill have told the White House it would be difficult to win confirmation for a new attorney general during the lame-duck session of Congress beginning next week, especially considering all the other competing priorities they face before relinquishing power to Republicans in January. Pushing through a nominee so quickly could have tainted the new attorney general's start in the office."

I like this strategy. the Republican controlled senate will have to decide whether to keep Eric Holder on as AG or confirm Lynch. decisions, decisions.
her enforcement history includes prosecuting a mother-lode of Democrats, too.
I think she will make a great Attorney General.

Obama will make history by being the first president to submit a nominee (especially one as far left as she is) for attorney general in the lame duck session of congress after his party losing control of the Senate, before the new Senate convenes.
how soon will she be confirmed?
What makes it worse is that Reid blew up the filibuster on nominations.
If the Democrats are smart, they won't confirm her because it would be against the will of the voters who elected a new Senate.
But the Democrats aren't smart and she most likely will be confirmed.

Most of her indictments ended in acquittal. She is a far left racist loon, and will indict a ham sandwich if it is White or a Republican.

Holder has resigned and is done and will be gone after the first of the year, leaving the second in command in charge, barring confirmation.
Good riddance to the most corrupt AG in American history.
aw, rightwing talk radio misled you, as usual.
the nomination confirmation is scheduled for the new congress.
Holder is staying until Lynch is confirmed.
rightwing talk radio sure fills your head with crap.
so much misinformation and HATE. it's obvious that you got fed that nonsense from rightwing talk radio, the prevaricators par excellence.
Sgt Staples
Mayor
Yeah, Right Wing Talk Radio even was audacious enough to predict the Democrats would get wiped out in the election.
The Democrats lost big in the Senate, they lost in the Statehouses where Republicans now control more legislatures than they have for 80 years, they lost in the governor's mansions, and they lost in the House of Representatives, giving Republicans the most seats since 1920.
You are a loser. And apparently a sore one at that.
Sgt Staples
Mayor
Oh and your sources, the same ones that are giving you the this BS had predicted that Solicitor General Don Verrilli would be Obama's nominee.
you should be happy. you won the big enchilada yet you come out of the win hating on and trashing Pres Obama's AG nominee....for no reason. what the hell is wrong with you?

You're the one who sounds sore. Here you are bragging about how much the Republicans won, yet you're jealous over Obama's AG pick.
Isn't it tragic, Julie? Sgt Staples is just angry with the world, I guess.
Wah! Wah! Wah!
cons are like that, all of them. all they're good at is anger/hate.
