She postponed debates so no one knew about Bernie Sanders until it was too late.

Boggsy, You are in denial. However, there is good news for you. It's clear that the DOJ is just as corrupt under Lynch as it was under Holder. Hillary is safe! From today's WSJ.

A federal judge has now exposed how the Justice Department systematically deceived lower courts about the Administration’s conduct, and he has imposed unprecedented legal measures to attempt to sterilize this ethics rot. When 26 states sued to block the order in December 2014, Justice repeatedly assured Judge Hanen that the Department of Homeland Security would not start processing applications until February 2015 at the earliest. Two weeks after the injunction came down, in March, Justice was forced to admit that DHS had already granted or renewed more than 100,000 permits.

As a result, Judge Hanen ordered that any Washington-based Justice lawyer who “appears or seeks to appear” in any state or federal court in the 26 states must first attend a remedial ethics seminar on “candor to the court.” He also ordered Attorney General Loretta Lynch to prepare a “comprehensive plan” to prevent such falsification. Such extraordinary judicial oversight is usually reserved for companies with a pattern of corruption or racially biased police departments.

The misconduct he has unmasked should trouble Americans of all political persuasions. Prosecutors often abuse their powers in run-of-the-mill cases. But this is a constitutional challenge with major consequences for the separation of powers, and the deceit must have required the participation and coordination of dozens of political appointees and career lawyers. That suggests a serious institutional failure, not mere rogue actors.

Republic, meet banana.

A federal judge from Texas with a bias? What else is new.

Let's watch the case through to the final outcome. Congress routinely asks the Administration to do things, and then doesn't provide sufficient money. I can't imagine how the country could actually work if the administration didn't have some discretion in administering laws where there wasn't enough money to do all of the things that are present in Congressional mandates. That's pretty much what Obama's executive order did, despite the hysteria from the right.
