This is one of those couples where you can tell the guy is just a grill dad who wants to cut taxes and the wife wants to deport them all and euthanize the homeless
I have carefully reviewed Todd Blanche’s qualifications to be Attorney General. This includes his record and responses to questions from Senators at the Department of Justice Appropriations hearing, his confirmation hearing, and in the weeks that followed.
While I believe Mr. Blanche is a capable lawyer, the Department of Justice has become increasingly political.
Mr. Blanche has taken several actions that have further eroded the Department’s independence, and that is the basis for my vote to oppose his confirmation:
Mr. Blanche approved an order to shield the President, his sons, and the family business from IRS audits, protections unavailable to other American taxpayers.
He approved the creation of a $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund.
He promised an anti-abortion organization that he would seek to prohibit the mailing of abortion medication to women nationwide.
Under his leadership, the Department attempted to indict Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin over their ill-advised, but constitutionally protected, videos encouraging resistance to unlawful orders.
More than 1,200 former Department of Justice employees have opposed his nomination, arguing that he has undermined the institution.
For these reasons, I will vote against this nomination.
@McNally4Indiana@JWReamer I’ll probably end up moving to Carmel in the near future, because they don’t tolerate this baloney.
Democrats get so much right—climate change, wanting to invest in better educational outcomes, increasing revenues (I’d love for my taxes to go up), but they fall short on crime.
@McNally4Indiana@JWReamer I’m okay with assuming that it was political or her. But this is the issue with democrats. Wanting to lock this person up shouldn’t be political.
I’m a former Republican, now lean Democrat, live downtown Indy, love the walkability, hate the complicity in crime and homelessness…
