WASHINGTON, Nov. 9 (UPI) -- After President Obama nominated New York prosecutor Loretta Lynch for attorney general, Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Mike Lee, R-Utah, threatened to block her.
In a statement released on Saturday, the senators claim the current Congress should not decide the fate of the nominee, since many have lost their seats, and they want to know her opinion on President Obama's executive amnesty plans before confirming her.
