One overlooked aspect of the current widespread conservative opposition to Loretta Lynch’s nomination is the hostility gun-owners have for a woman who, at least on policy matters, differs very little from Barack Obama’s guard dog. This antipathy has now been expressed publicly by national gun rights organizations-including the Gun Owners of America-which have begun lobbying wavering legislators before a full vote takes place in the United States Senate. Whether this new push will be enough to derail the presumed confirmation of someone who has pledged to perpetuate the unlawful directives of this administration remains to be seen, but it has, at the very least, given a jolt to Majority Leader McConnell. Considering the supine nature of this Republican Congress, that constitutes a glimmer of hope.
