She Didn't Go Down in Committee, Rand
A few weeks ago, Senator Rand Paul prophesized Loretta Lynch's nomination to succeed Eric Holder was "going down."
Today, the Senate Committee on the Judiciary voted to approve Lynch's nomination and reported it to the floor for a full Senate vote.
The Committee vote was twelve to eight, with three Republicans joining the nine Democrats unanimously voting to approve Lynch's nomination.
The three Republican quislings (no surprise) were: Orrin Hatch, Lindsey Graham, and Jeff Flake.
Hatch actually had the chutzpah to justify his vote by asserting Lynn's testimony before the committee in support of Barack Obama ruling by decree and otherwise violating the constitutional separation of powers isn't "a proper way to evaluate . . . [an attorney general's] fitness . . ." to be the nation's chief law enforcement officer.
Thus a Republican senator who has sworn six times to uphold the Constitution voted to approve a Democratic attorney general who will be sworn to uphold the Constitution nominated by a Democratic president who has twice sworn to uphold the Constitution when, in fact, all three of them are (or in Lynn's case, will be) violating their oaths of office by deliberately undermining the Constitution.
Graham justified his vote by observing anyone (unlike himself) foolish enough to "believe . . . [Obama's illegal executive amnesty of up to 5 million illegal aliens] is a constitutional overreach of historic proportions . . ." can always just, you know, go impeach Obama.
And anyone foolish enough to believe the U.S. Congress would ever commit a Congressional "overreach of historic proportions" by impeaching the first black president in the Nation's history can always just go get himself beheaded by the racial political-correctness jihadis.
Flake was more laid back about the whole thing, noting merely that the best way to get rid of the lawless Eric Holder is to confirm another attorney general at least equally as lawless as Holder.

Lynch's confirmation on the Senate floor now needs only two other Republican votes in addition to Hatch, Graham, and Flake's.
And it's virtually certain there are more than two other Republican Senators prepared to violate their oaths to uphold the Constitution.
We know 44 Democrats and two Independents are.
Sorry about that, Rand. Say hello to Attorney General Lynch.
Meanwhile, over in the House, will the ever-vacillating and conniving John Boehner finally find the political courage to hold the line against Mitch McConnell's Senate attempt to backstab the Republican congressional majority by now proposing a clean DHS funding bill to be followed by a transparently meaningless stand-alone bill pretending to defund Obama's unconstitutional executive amnesty?
Don't bet on it.
