The RepubliKKKlan Party strikes again.
Ash Carter, a white male nominated a month AFTER Loretta Lynch, has already been confirmed by the RepubliKKKlan party.
RepubliKKKlans have raised no formal objections to her. So why the hold up?
Where is the media?

(Edit, well, unless he nominated a Republican-minded type. But they even grow to hate the Republicans he puts forward. Look what happened to Hagel.)

(14,733 posts)And Carter merely got bumped up one position. He was already the assistant for several years, and probably already handling much of what his 'new' position handles.
But Republicans have a special hate for both Obama and Holder, and it gives them indigestion that they can't simply get rid of Holder and then NOT let Obama have a replacement. So they're waffling, trying to decide just how much they hate Holder.

Today is 117 days.
Starting tomorrow and every day there after, add one more day and email to Mitch with just the number i.e. tomorrow will be "118". Every day. Do it! His staff will catch on after the second or third email.
Thanks!
