CALL 866-338-5720 and Demand that Senator Blunt and McCaskill VOTE AYE for Loretta Lynch

FINAL SENATE VOTE ON U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL NOMINEE LORETTA LYNCH EXPECTED THE WEEK OF MARCH 16

On Feb. 26, 2015, the U. S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary voted, by a margin of 12 yeas to 8 nays, to send the nomination of Loretta Lynch to serve as the next U.S. Attorney General to the floor of the full U.S. Senate for a final vote.
A final vote by the full U.S. Senate is expected the week of March 16.
On November 8, 2014, President Barack Obama nominated Loretta Lynch to replace Eric Holder as U.S. Attorney General of the United States.  If confirmed by the U.S. Senate, we are confident that with Ms. Lynch's well-established legal reputation and demonstrated commitment to civil rights protection will lead to strong and judicious leadership to the U.S. Department of Justice. She will also make history as the first African-American woman to serve as U.S. Attorney General.
On January 29, the Senate Judiciary Committee completed two days of confirmation hearing on Ms. Lynch’s nomination.  It should be noted that Ms. Lynch is no stranger to the Senate confirmation process, given that the U.S. Senate unanimously confirmed her to her current position as the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York twice. During the hearing’s first day, Lynch pledged to “protect and defend our Constitution, to safeguard our people, and to stand as the leader and public servant that they deserve,” and answered questions on a host of issues, including immigration, voting rights, and criminal justice reform.
In her current position as the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Ms. Lynch has earned praise for her work fighting sex trafficking, police brutality, terrorism, and religious and racial hate crimes. In fact, throughout her 30-year career, she has distinguished herself as a tough, fair, and independent lawyer who has twice headed one of the most prominent U.S. Attorney’s offices in the country.  She also traveled to Geneva, Switzerland, in 2014 as part of the U.S. official delegation before the United Nations Covenant to Eradicate Racial Discrimination.  At that time, her mastery of the issues as well as her ardent support and understandings of the challenges of the U.S.'s justice system was impressive.
After a careful review of Ms. Lynch’s record and reputation, the NAACP is more convinced now more than ever that she will make a stellar and effective U.S. Attorney General. 
We now must urge every US Senator to support this well-qualified nominee and to vote in favor of her confirmation when it comes before them on the floor of the US Senate.
