From CNN: The White House confirmed Friday night that President Obama will nominate Loretta Lynch to become the next attorney general.Loretta Lynch, the U.S. attorney in Brooklyn, is expected to be President Barack Obama's pick for attorney general, U.S. officials briefed on the matter said.An announcement is expected in the coming days, though the timing is complicated by the President's plans to travel to Asia this weekend.Lynch is a popular prosecutor who is in her second stint as U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of New York, appointed by President Obama in 2010 and also serving in the same post from 1999 to 2001 under President Bill Clinton....The White House confirmed Friday night that President Obama will nominate Loretta Lynch to become the next attorney general.Loretta Lynch, the U.S. attorney in Brooklyn, is expected to be President Barack Obama's pick for attorney general, U.S. officials briefed on the matter said.An announcement is expected in the coming days, though the timing is complicated by the President's plans to travel to Asia this weekend.Lynch is a popular prosecutor who is in her second stint as U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of New York, appointed by President Obama in 2010 and also serving in the same post from 1999 to 2001 under President Bill Clinton.  http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/07/politics/new-attorney-general-nominee-loretta-lynch/index.html?hpt=hp_t1
The only thing I can see that may derail her confirmation, in the lame duck session or in January, is her closeness to Eric  Holder.
Eric Holder is the worst Attorney General in the history of the U.S.. One of the first question to ask at her confirmation hearings would be something like this: "If there is wrong doing in the White House or or other government agency, would she prosecute them if there was a law broken."
The 2nd question would be if this appointment done for politics to appease the Black community?
Based on my experience, Ms. Lynch is qualified for the job and should be voted in.
