In yet another move that shows how little the Republican Party thinks of the new majority that they hold in the US Senate, 10 spineless Senators from the GOP have rolled over and rubber stamped the second coming of Eric Holder. Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Sen. Orrin Hatch (R- UT), Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL),Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH), Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), Sen Thad Cochran (R-MS) and Mitch McConnell (R-KY) have sold out both the Republican Party and the people that have put them in the majority that have had enough of Obama and his administration's policies.
Also, in another move, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) stood on the floor of the Senate and voiced opposition to Lynch, but failed to record a vote on the nomination when it came up. Could this be done for political reasons in regards to his political aspirations so that there was no record of vote on such a controversial candidate? This is not the reasons given by Cruz, but one wonders.
