Jeb Bush Calls for Congress to Approve Lynch Nomination 
--------------------------------------------------------


 
Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush has called on Congress to
confirm Loretta Lynch as attorney general after her nomination has been
stalled for 160 days. Lynch's fate remains on hold as Republicans seek
passage of an anti-trafficking bill which contains an anti-abortion
component that Democrats have objected to. Bush said Thursday, "I think
that presidents have the right to pick their team."
