JOHN HINDERAKER: OBAMA’S ATTORNEY GENERAL NOMINEE, LORETTA LYNCH.

Her confirmation hearing represents an opportunity for Republicans, so the first question is, when will it be held? Obama says he wants her confirmed “promptly.” No doubt! Pat Leahy–speaking of hyper-partisans–will run the Judiciary Committee until January, when the Republicans, led by Charles Grassley, will take over. Mitch McConnell said today that he thinks confirmation should be addressed by the new congress, following “regular order.” I don’t see how he can bring that about, however. Maybe I am missing some procedural wrinkle, but I would think the Democrats will be able to expedite her hearing and get her confirmed during the lame duck session.

But Republicans will still be able to ask questions, and there are many important ones to be posed. Eric Holder politicized the Department of Justice to a degree that has not been seen in our modern history, if ever. Holder appointed Lynch to the Attorney General’s Advisory Committee in 2010, and she has served as Chairman of that committee since 2013. Maybe the Advisory Committee is merely an honorary appointment. But Republicans should ask what input she has had over the last four years. Has she given advice to Holder on policy matters? Has the Advisory Committee been involved in any of Holder’s many controversies? Did Lynch ever try to dissuade Holder from his partisan misuse of DOJ? This seems like an important avenue of investigation.

Beyond that, Republicans should be able to wring some assurances from Ms. Lynch. Holder has disgracefully stonewalled Congressional investigators trying to get to the bottom of the Fast and Furious scandal for years. Will Lynch promise to stop the stonewalling and give Congressional investigators the materials–the remarkably limited materials–they are asking for?

Eric Holder has also been notorious for racial favoritism. He has addressed voting rights issues, for example, only where blacks have ostensibly been aggrieved. His dismissal of charges against the New Black Panthers–after they had already defaulted in DOJ’s action against them!–is the most famous, but by no means the only such instance. Republicans should extract a promise from Lynch to enforce the laws equally as to all races, and not favor her own race as Holder did.

Eric Holder also carried on a vicious campaign in favor of voter fraud. He aggressively persecuted states that took even the most modest measures to protect ballot integrity. Will Lynch do the same, or will she declare herself opposed to voter fraud?

Then of course there is immigration.

So, basically, she needs to be the anti-Holder. She might give ground on some of this stuff, but I guarantee she’ll play scandal-goalie to the end.

ON THIS ANNIVERSARY OF THE BERLIN WALL’S FALL, A TRUE CLASSIC FROM THE ONION: Marxists’ Apartment A Microcosm Of Why Marxism Doesn’t Work.

LIKE THEY TRIED TO DO ABOUT ROTHERHAM? Britain Poised To Silence “Extremist” Speech. This is what happens when you have a political class that’s not up to the job. Which is why ours would like to do the same thing. And the proper remedy for this is tar and feathers — virtual at first, but literal if that doesn’t do the job.

HEATHER HAVRILESKY ON THE MOMMY PROBLEM: “Forty years ago, my mother and her two friends drank coffee, ate homemade cherry pie and chain-smoked their way through lively debates over whether a popular author was daringly frank or a chauvinist, while their children were expected to play nicely outside and rarely interrupt. Today, all three mothers might instead be engaged in some elaborate craft project, with each woman stopping the conversation every few seconds to open a little jar of paint or to help glue on some tiny eyes.”

All true, but complain about it as much as you like, it’s the result of female intrasex competition. Meanwhile, here’s something I wrote years ago.

But don’t go this far: “These women are the men their mothers divorced.”
