White House counsel Alberto Gonzales survived a Democratic wall of opposition on Thursday to win U.S. Senate confirmation as the nation's next attorney general. He will be the first Hispanic-American to hold the post.
In approving Gonzales, the Republican-led Senate rejected Democratic complaints he had helped craft administration policies that contributed to the torture of foreign detainees following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.

Bayh has apparently been infected by some sort of leftist space pod lately.
