Rep Ryan Zinke: "Loretta Lynch Unfit to Serve as Attorney General"

Statement

Date: April 21, 2015
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Judicial Branch

Montana Congressman Ryan Zinke weighed in on the pending vote in the U.S. Senate to confirm President Obama's nominee for Attorney General, U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch (NY). This week the U.S. Senate is debating the once bipartisan human trafficking bill. When debate and voting on the human trafficking bill concludes, a vote on the confirmation Ms. Lynch is expected.

The following statement is from Montana Congressman Ryan Zinke.

"Despite Ms. Lynch's legal experience, simply holding a job does not uniquely qualify her for the highest legal officer in the land. Ms. Lynch's beliefs and understanding, or misunderstanding, of the Constitution must be examined thoroughly. That examination was done during Senate hearings and it became clear: Loretta Lynch is unfit to serve as Attorney General. Her unyielding support for the President's unconstitutional executive amnesty, coupled with her complete disregard for the bounds to the power of the Presidency, demonstrate that she is a questionable pick, at best, to enforce the laws of this country. I urge my colleagues in the Senate to hold true to their oaths to defend the Constitution and vote no on Ms. Lynch's confirmation."
