Ten senators laid down their mandate to protect the Constitution when they voted to confirm Loretta Lynch as attorney general Thursday, April 23. Having taken an oath to uphold the tenets of our founding documents, these republicans, who vowed to serve faithfully, were found faithless.
There was good reason why President Obama had placed such confidence in his nominee to become the top justice official. When questioned by the Senate committee, Lynch plainly stated her intention of standing by the president’s illegal executive memos and orders that contradict the Constitution he also swore to defend.
As if that wasn’t grounds enough for so-called tea party senators like Kelly Ayotte (NH) to withhold support for Lynch, the fact that Lynch was party to an amicus brief in defense of partial birth abortion should have clinched the matter. The brief had been submitted by former U.S. attorneys in a 2006 Supreme Court case. She was even questioned on the issue by Lindsey Graham (SC) who legitimized her answer using the lame excuse of currying unlikely favor from a future democrat senate considering a republican president’s nominees… “The only reason I mentioned that," said Graham, "is that if there's a Republican president in the future, an attorney general nominee takes an opposite view on an issue like abortion, I hope our friends on the other side will acknowledge it's OK to be an advocate for a cause, as their lawyer. That doesn't disqualify you from serving.”
Clearly, the turncoat vote by these senators, who claim conservatism, was an example of complete inconsistency and infidelity to their supposed convictions. Lip service is given to protecting the very electorate who placed them in office while showing their backs to the Constitution that was emplaced to restrict government – the president, Congress and judiciary – from overriding the People’s will.
Domestic foreigners. That is a correct assessment of those who disregard their protective role of the United States by denying the law they profess to execute.
Psalm 144:10 “It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword. 11 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:” KJV
Strange children are those who follow foreign gods, i.e. idealistic premises, idols that contravene the Law of the Land that describes the office they hold yet disrespect. In weighing the option of walking a thin line between Constitutional correctness and what they perceive to be political correctness, these senators’ contempt is evident. Slipping into wasted, untrue words (speaking vanity) and acting in opposition to what they claim (right hand of falsehood) has shown them to be “foreign.” They have contradicted themselves and opposed their constituency in order to appear reasonable and acceptable to promoters of Constitutionally foreign concepts.
Plainly, the hope to avoid epithets of racist or misogynist overruled the duty of standing by their words. In so abandoning their convictions, these ten have allowed the wrongdoing to continue in the highest places of national government; they have endorsed the sacrifice of unborn babies as indefinable “living fetus[es]:”
“It is unclear whether a "living fetus" must be intact, Miller, 30 F. Supp. 2d at 1165 ("it is not clear whether 'living fetus' refers only to an intact fetus with a heartbeat or some other form of 'life,' or to a disarticulated fetus with a heartbeat or some other sign of 'life"')…” (from the amicus brief Pg. 10-11)
In truth, it is incredible how sentient beings can go so far as to relegate a living child to being a “disarticulated fetus” in order to tolerate murder in the midst of birth. Yet these same individuals arguing what is “life” in a baby will support the “humane” action of allowing our nation to be inundated with thousands of unsupervised children entering illegally.
Which entrance into this nation is illegal? The natural journey down the birth canal or the unnatural, contrived crossing of the border?
