#LorettaLynch

I am excited about Loretta Lynch. After a lengthy wait for confirmation, she was finally sworn in today. Afterwards, she told a bit about her childhood and used the phrase, WE CAN, several times. Lynch is the 83rd US Attorney General and the first Black woman to hold the office. She rode on her father's shoulders to civil rights rallies. She is from North Carolina. More details are available here:

I believe we can count on her to achieve great things for our country. "In her remarks, Lynch said her role was to "not just represent the law and enforce the law, but to use it to make real the promise of America: the promise of fairness, the promise of equality, of liberty and justice for all."

Lynch went on to say, "We can imbue our criminal justice system with both strength and fairness for the protection of both the needs of victims and the rights of all. We can restore trust and faith both in our laws and in those of us who enforce them. We can protect the most vulnerable among us from the scourge of modern-day slavery so antithetical to the values forged in blood in this country. we can protect the growing cyber world and we can give those in our care both protection from terrorism and the security of their civil liberties."
