President Obama’s pick to serve as the next attorney general, Loretta Lynch, is having a hard time finding Republican supporters. She expressed her stance about Justice Department’s 2011opinion, saying that she will unlikely reverse it, which is why we decided to ask our readers, “Will Loretta Lynch reverse 2011 DOJ’s 1961 Wire Act’s opinion once confirmed as attorney general?”

55% said, “No” while 45% voted “Yes.”

During a confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary last month, Lynch was asked by Sen Lindsey Graham her familiarity with 2011 DOJ opinion that reinterpreted the Interstate Wire Act of 1961. Lynch initially said that she was familiar with the opinion but hadn’t studied it in detail, but in a follow-up written response, she said that, if confirmed, she would unlikely reverse DOJ’s current opinion of RAWA.

Despite having different opinion on topics such as online gambling and legality of the president’s executive action on immigration from Republicans, Lynch’s nomination got still got approved on Thursday, with a 12-8 votes, advancing her nomination to the full Senate.
