Cruz - Confirm No New US AG Until Convening of Next New Congress - 2017.

[TheMastersNemesis]

You can bet the GOP will not accept any US AG unless it is someone THEY nominate. And it may be that they will be ok with no AG until 2017. If they do it will be some kind of major extortion. What could that be? Obama resign, repeal ACA, privatize Social Security and or Medicare, etc etc?

1. Same if a Supreme Court slot becomes vacant. eom

2. The new congress is 2015 not 2017.

Cruz does not want a confirmation in the lame duck session after the November election.

4. They will be stuck with Holder then

since he says he is staying until new AG is confirmed.

5. What, we had an AG in DC?!?! I keed, I keed!

[Javaman]

6. crazy cruz, fails to understand that Holder stated that he would remain in the job until

he has a replacement.

I guess, he will have another 2 years tacked on.

I honestly bet cruz and his crazy cronies honestly believe that there won't be any AG for two years.

just a feeling I have.

7. Cruz fails to understand how the Senate works now.

Cruz really has very little say in the confirmation process for an AG.

Filibusters are dead for such nominations. 51 votes confirms any nominee for AG and regardless of what happens in November, Reid remains the majority leader until at least January 3.

8. January, 2015 is the convening of the next new congress

he's still an obstructionist asshat, but you should change your title.
