Madam President. today I underscore my opposition to the nomination of Loretta Lynch to be the next Attorney General of the United States. While her experience is extensive. both her judgment and independence were called into question by her expressed views on President Obamas clearly unconstitutional actions on immigration. and this is something that cannot be overlooked when considering a nominee to be our Nations chief law enforcement officer. Lets review Ms. Lynchs testimony before the Judiciary Committee on whether she believes the Presidents actions are constitutional. During that hearing. Ms. Lynch stated that she "thought the legal opinion was reasonable" and that the Presidents actions were a "reasonable way to marshal limited resources to deal with the problem." When asked for a yes or no answer on whether she thinks Obamas executive actions on immigration were legal and constitutional. she stated. "[A]s Ive read the opinion. I do believe it is." What do these statements tell us? On the specific question of whether she thought the executive action was constitutional.
