“Refusing to allow a confirmation vote on Loretta Lynch’s nomination to be the next Attorney General is pure politics and unprecedented Republican obstructionism. It’s just not fair. Loretta Lynch is impressive and very well qualified to be the next Attorney General. The Senate has confirmed her, unanimously, twice. It is unfair to Ms. Lynch, who has waiting longer than the previous five Attorney Generals- combined. It’s unfair to the hardworking employees of the Department of Justice, who work every day to keep Americans safe from harm; and it’s unfair to the President of the United States, who deserves to have his team in place. We have a responsibility to vote on his nominations.
“The Senate may be known for taking things slowly, but we really can debate legislation and nominations at the same time. To suggest otherwise is a hollow excuse; we’ve voted on six executive nominees in the past week.
“Loretta Lynch’s few detractors have had ample time to come to the Senate floor and make their case to fellow Senators. Republicans control the agenda in the Senate. If Senators would like to vote against Mrs. Lynch it is their prerogative, but at least allow a vote.”

Cardin...doing nothing is something in which you have great expertise...perhaps your colleagues will hear you out on this one!
why would the american people want another attorney general who has already stated she will folow in eric holders footsteps and impliment the policies he was endorsing AMERICA we need a change now is the time to start NOW is the gop will only get their act together and stop the in party bickering before their actions put another democrat in the white house
Stfu Cardin you'd be doing the same thing if she were a republican nominee. Why don't you make yourself useful in Iraq clearing houses for talibans?
One criminal vouching for another.
