Obviously, they don't like her problematic response to the Benghazi attacks. From the Associated Press: "Senate Republicans sent the clearest
message yet to President Barack Obama on Wednesday that he would have a
second-term confirmation fight if he nominates U.N. Ambassador
Susan Rice to replace Hillary Rodham Clinton as secretary of state. 'We will do whatever is necessary to
block the nomination that’s within our power as far as Susan Rice is
concerned,' Sen. John McCain, the top Republican senator on the Armed
Services Committee, told reporters at a news conference. Said Sen. Lindsey Graham, 'I don’t trust her.'"
More about opposition to the liberal diplomat: "The two lawmakers, along with Sen. Kelly
Ayotte, are pressing for a special, Watergate-style select Senate
committee to investigate the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in
Benghazi, Libya, that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three
other Americans. They said separate inquiries by various
Senate panels will fail to get to the truth and a comprehensive probe 'up to and including the president of the United States' was warranted."
