i d be very surprised if he can t concern firmed, but it wi a spirited hearing. he voted for the confirmation of eric holder to be attorney general but against loretta lynch. which he has described as lawless. so he s one of the harshest critics of the president on immigration. he voted against changing the don t ask, don t tell policy allowing gay people to serve in the military. he s been an opponent of another big project in the obama justice department, what is called sentencing reform, trying to do away with mandatory minimums. trying to keep low-level drug offenders from serving long sentences. he said, we should not be sending a message that we re going easy on sentencing just at ....
Because i think we could see a lot of candidates make a decision about the future of their candidacies after tonight. thank you, michele bachmann, you re great to come on. apart from the candidates themselves, the audience can sometimes be a factor in primary debates. during the primaries we saw how some in the auditorium were surprisingly vocal on a few key issues. when a gay soldier asked about the don t ask/don t tell policy, you could hear audible boos. in 2010 when i was deployed to iraq i had to lie about who i was because i m a gay soldier. i can t want to lose my job. my question is under your presidency do you intend to circumvent the progress that s been made for gay and lesbian soldiers in the military? boo! well, that was sweet. anyway, john mccain s campaign, and eugene robinson is a ....
