| Loretta Lynch removes herself from Supreme Court consideration |
| 2016-03-09 |
| [Wash Times] Attorney General Loretta Lynch has told the White House she does not want to be nominated to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court. In a statement issued Tuesday, a Justice Department spokeswoman said although the Attorney General was grateful for support of those who have suggested her as a possible nominee, she thought that a nomination would "curtail her effectiveness in her current role." "Given the urgent issues before the Department of Justice, she asked not to be considered for the position," DOJ spokeswoman Melanie Newman said. Ms. Lynch is instead fully committed to serving the remainder of her term as Attorney General, Ms. Newman said. Justice Antonin Scalia died last month, leaving a vacancy on the nine-member court. The Obama administration is searching for a replacement for the conservative justice. |

| #11 She said today that the Justice Department is not required to indict if the FBI recommends it. Da fix is in. |

| #10 "curtail her effectiveness in her current role." ... of covering up for Obama, Hillary, Eric Holder, and other associated low-lifes. Supreme Court Justice is a lifetime commitment and she's not ready for that - too many opportunities... |

| #8 Excuse the typo "Senbate." Come to think of it, it does rhyme with reprobate. |

| #7 Lynch knows that any nomination by Obama is not going to be confirmed in the Senbate until a new President is elected (unless McConnell and the Senate Pubs cave-in which could happen. (sarc)). |

| #6 newc, your are correct. The only debate Lynch should be having is with Hillary about who gets the top bunk. |

| #5 I think actually she is going to slow walk the Hillary investigation and is partisan in everything. That useless B!tch |

| #2 Attorney General Loretta Lynch has told the White House she does not want to be nominated to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court. Which might lead one to believe she was 'asked' as opposed to "suggested" by unnamed others. She's staying on for what? Does she feel a Trump administration might retain her? I doubt it. No one in the Champ regime appears to be moving or finding new employment. Why ? |
