If the party would choose to
block her from the position would they be contradicting their very public
choice when party leaders have professed
a desire to do more to appeal to African Americans, women and Hispanics? As a
country are we really going to go there? A person’s ability means nothing? What
you look like in the mirror should reflect more about you as a ethical fair
person? I hope not, but like in corporate jobs, everyone wants the safe
approach to things rather than the right things. Yes, looks are superficial but
yet they are very important in the corporate world. The companies want to have
a full hand in their poker game. Hire a woman, Hispanic, black, old person and
Asian. That is your 5 cards. But if you can find a competent black woman who is
a lesbian who adopted Asian children, well that combination right there trumps
any other cards in your employee hands. Sigh!
Lynch’s career shows close
familiarity with the nuts and bolts of justice. She is seasoned and
experienced. It makes you wonder why she wasn’t picked for the job even
earlier? Eric Holder, who is also Black
who had a highly dubious history being in the Clinton Administration,
was nominated ahead of Lynch in the past. I guess back then a Black man trumped
a Black woman. All men did. Sigh. The
answer is politics. Politics is again playing a role in all this. Lynch was
certainly chosen not just for her qualifications but also to insulate Obama
from a tough confirmation hearing.
Time will tell how tough this
woman is in terms of drugs, race relations and immigration which is three hot
topics that need clear direction in terms of what to prosecute. Good Luck
Loretta Lynch.
