Jeb Bush Urges Republicans To Move Forward On Loretta Lynch Confirmation
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/04/16/jeb-bush-loretta-lynch-confirmation_n_7083620.htmlLikely presidential contender Jeb Bush said Thursday the Senate should confirm attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch despite objections from many of his fellow Republicans.
The former Florida governor appeared Thursday night at a GOP "Politics and Pies" event on the eve of a gathering Friday that will bring together more than a dozen other potential and declared contenders for the nomination....
Bush said presidents should have the right to pick their teams, adding that Lynch's confirmation would at least speed up the departure of current Attorney General Eric Holder, deeply unpopular with the GOP.
"If someone is supportive of the president's policies, whether you agree with them or not, there should be some deference to the executive," he said. "It should not always be partisan."
