JUST IN: Coburn: DHS nominee Johnson used cribbed answers for confirmation hearing.
The Obama administration was accused Wednesday of providing cribbed answers to 23 questions in the form the Senate received for the hearing of its nominee to lead the Department of Homeland Security -- as the nominee also ran into criticism from one senator who said he won't vote for him unless he makes a major border security pledge.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., got into a heated exchange with nominee Jeh Johnson, pressing him to commit to boost border security to 90 percent effectiveness. Johnson did not make the pledge. McCain said he, then, could not support his nomination.

That was after another senator, Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, charged that the White House "cut and pasted" Johnson's responses to the committee.

Coburn, the top Republican on the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, charged at the start of Wednesday's hearing that the answers provided by nominee Johnson are the same as those provided by previous nominees.

“These are the exact words [given] to the committee before,” he said at the start of the hearing. “We want to get your thoughts, not some legislative assistant's.”

Coburn said he supports Johnson’s nomination but will not allow it to go forward until the situation is corrected.

The White House could not be reached for comment. But Johnson did not deny the allegation.

JEH JOHSON:

He co-authored the 250-page report that paved the way for the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" by Congress in 2010, which the Washington Post's Jonathan Capehart called his "greatest legacy."

He supports the administration's policy on drone strikes and targeted killings. "In my view, targeted lethal force is at its least controversial when it is on its strongest, most traditional legal foundation. The essential mission of the U.S. military is to capture or kill an enemy. Armies have been doing this for thousands of years," Johnson said at Fordham Law School in March.

He also supports the administration's collection of "metadata," which has been something that has earned the administration wide scrutiny over the past few months.

He was a law partner of the late Ted Sorensen, John F. Kennedy’s speechwriter, he told the Council on Foreign Relations in March 2012. Johnson said that Sorensen is “one of my personal heroes.”

His birthday, ironically, is Sept. 11.

Jeh Johnson - Leave the United States and never return.

Jeh would drone his own mother if Obama told him to.


In a March 2013 speech, Johnson asserted that the President “alone” has the power to deploy troops and take military action – completely ignoring the role of Congress as enshrined in the Constitution

“Let’s not lose sight of the reality that in this country we have…entrusted the President with awesome powers and responsibilities as Commander in Chief; he controls the nuclear arsenal and he alone has the authority to use it; he alone has the constitutional authority, with certain limits, to deploy thousands of men and women in the U.S. military into hostilities on the other side of the world.“
