Sheriff David Clarke Tap Dances for Fox News - Video

During a sometimes serious, sometimes light-hearted exchange with Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-Tex.) President Obama's nominee for attorney general, Loretta Lynch, said she "would be Loretta Lynch" and maintain independence if confirmed for the position. (AP)

The memories of Eric Holder loomed over attorney general nominee Loretta Lynchs confirmation hearing as Republicans reminded her over and over again that one of her most appealing qualities is that shes not him.

The departing attorney generals name was invoked more than two dozen times at Wednesdays Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, prompting Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) at one point to scold his Republican colleagues for bashing someone who wasnt there to defend himself.

But if Holder fans thought the bashing was rough with Lynch in the hot seat, its really just a warm-up for Thursdays day two hearing, where Republicans have lined up a series of anti-Holder witnesses.

For now, weve assembled the top Holder-as-punching-bag moments:

1. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) asked Lynch if she would uphold and defend the Constitution. Absolutely, sir, she said.

Im glad you said that. Attorney General Holder answered that same question in the same way, Hatch said, adding that Holder broke his promise and so he cast doubt about others who make the same commitment as you did today.

2. John Cornyn (R-Tex.): Let me just stipulate, youre not Eric Holder, are you? Lynch replied, No, Im not, sir.

3. Cornyn, in the same line of questioning, said Holder was heavy on our minds now and wondered if Lynch would consider herself a political arm of the White House as attorney general.

No, Senator, that would be a totally inappropriate view of the position of attorney general, Lynch said.

In the Loop: Loretta Lynch assures GOP she is not Eric Holder, again and again

Memories of Eric Holder loomed over Loretta Lynchs confirmation hearing as Republicans reminded the nominee for attorney general over and over that one of her most appealing qualities is that shes not him.

The departing attorney generals name was mentioned more than two dozen times at Wednesdays Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, leading Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) toprotest that Holder wasnt there to defend himself.

But Wednesdays Holder-bashing was but a warm-up for Thursdays second-day hearing, where the GOP has a series of anti-Holder witnesses on tap, including former CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson, who is suing the Justice Department claiming the government illegally tapped her phones and laptops.

For now, weve assembled the top Holder-as-punching-bag moments.

1. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) asked Lynch if she would uphold and defend the Constitution. Absolutely, sir, she said.

No, Senator, that would be a totally inappropriate view of the position of attorney general, Lynch said.

4. Cornyn couldnt quite let it go: So how do we know youre not going to perform your duties of office as attorney general the way Eric Holder has performed his duties? How are you going to be different?

United States Attorney General Eric Holder will soon be on to his next job presuming his potential replacement, Loretta Lynch, survives confirmation hearings before Congress this week.

Those hearings are expected to force Lynch to differentiate herself from Holder, who has acquired plenty of detractors since he landed the nation's top law enforcement job nearly six years ago.

Many of those detractors will have a say in how the Lynch hearings are carried out. We've listed some of the biggest Holder haters below:

Many GOP legislators have developed a deep dislike of Holder over the years, and were keen to criticize the attorney general when he announced last September that he would resign as soon as a replacement was confirmed.

Republican lawmakers have criticized Holder for not enforcing the Defense of Marriage Act, for trying to close the prison at Guantanamo, for obtaining the phone records of reporters and for mishandling a gun program run by federal agents in which the agents attempted to monitor illegal weapons after they were sold in Mexico, but didn't keep tabs on those weapons.

Holder allegedly did not share documents from the program with Congress, and GOP lawmakers voted to hold the attorney general in contempt.
