Senate confirms Loretta Lynch as next U.S. Attorney General
Los Angeles Times ^ | 04/23/2015 | TIMOTHY M. PHELPS

Loretta Lynch, after being kept waiting in the wings by the Senate for five and a half months, was confirmed Thursday as the first African American woman to serve as Attorney General.

Lynch was approved 56-43, one of the narrowest margins in history for an attorney general nominee.

The vote ended an unusually partisan episode in modern Senate confirmation history, in which a largely uncontroversial nominee to one of the top cabinet posts was kept out of office for a lengthy period over issues extraneous to her job.

Watching this GOP Congress is like watching the Flintstones. You see a cave every 26 seconds.

Kelly Ayotte from the “Live Free or Die” State?

The Senate voted 56-43 in favor of Lynch, approving her with help of...

FWIW, if conservatives had gotten everything they wanted in the Nov 2014 election, there would have been no Thad Cochran and no Mitch McConnell, but the election would still have been 54-45. The process of replacing the GOPe Senators with conservative senators is going to take some time.

I am so disgusted after this November joke that it seems pointless to vote. A waste of time.

I heard more that once on this forum, “We got to elect Republicans to stop Obama.” I guess we stopped him, we elected Republicans.

I think you will find that she is worse, much worse than Holder. She openly admitted that she would do things that he could only dream about.

The moron Jeb Bush was encouraging her approval. Guess the Senators voting in anticipation of another Bush presidency? Traitors.

If you look at what the Republican leaders in the House & Senate have either done or advocated since November, they are pretty much in line with the CPUSA.

No I am not kidding

Now they are talking about extending the funding of Obamacare through 2017.
