President Obama strongly criticized Senate Republicans for holding his Attorney General nominee “hostage” while waiting for Democrats to stop filibustering important human trafficking prevention legislation.

“You don’t hold attorney general nominees hostage for other issues,” Obama told The Huffington Post in an interview yesterday. “This is our top law enforcement office. Nobody denies that she’s well-qualified. We need to go ahead and get her done.”

Some Democrats, including Sen. Dick Durbin, have suggested that Republicans are blocking Lynch because of her race. Obama did not follow suit.

“I don’t know about that,” the president said, according to the Huffington Post when asked about the racial angle.

“What I do know is that she is eminently qualified. Nobody denies it,” Obama said. “Even the Republicans acknowledge she’s been a great prosecutor. She has prosecuted terrorists in New York, she has gone after organized crime, she’s gone after public corruption. Her integrity is unimpeachable.”

Enter John McCain.

McCain said that no Republican U.S. Senator should vote for the confirmation of U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch to replace Eric Holder as President Barack Obama’s Attorney General, even though Graham, Flake, Collins, and Hatch all said they plan to. McCain said:

Loretta Lynch has said that the President’s unconstitutional executive orders are ‘reasonable.’ Then if that is the case, no Republican should vote for her confirmation, because she is going to implement what the President himself said 22 times would be unconstitutional actions.

So Graham, Flake, Collins, and Hatch want to give Obama a rubber stamp as his Attorney General.

Gee, that’s swell.

Guys, we're not alone.

According to Larry Pratt, the Executive Director of Gun Owners of America, Second Amendment supporters are telling him the “Republican Party is an enormous disappointment.”


He continued, “People elected them to come and stop Barack Obama. They said that was the one thing they would do.”
“They are the most spineless group of urchins that ever could have been imagined,” Pratt declared. “They signed up for the job and now they’re MIA.”

Meanwhile Obama ramps it up.

President Barack Obama says he’s going to push the limits on presidential power as far as he can go during the last 2 years of his tenure.

“Where [elected Republicans in Congress] are not willing to work with us, we will do it administratively or we will convene the private sector,” he said in a friendly interview with The Huffington Post.

“By hook or by crook,” he added.

Obama said his big-government push would “make sure that when I leave this office, that the country is more prosperous, more people have opportunity, kids have a better education, we’re more competitive, climate change is being taken more seriously than it was, and we are actually trying to do something about it.”

In practice, Obama’s agenda includes more progressive control over peoples’ salaries, education practices and the energy companies. Each expansion means that state and local governments plus large and small companies will cooperate with regulators to push progressives’ goals, instead of trying to please Americans voters, taxpayers and free-market consumers.

Despite the huge victory delivered by GOP voters and swing voters in November, it is not clear if the GOP leaders can — are will even try — to block Obama’s plan.

The Constitution says the White House can only execute Congress’ laws, not rewrite them.

Really?
