In July 2021, President Joe Biden nominated Rollins to be the United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts. Republican U.S. Senator Tom Cotton said he would try to prevent Rollins from being confirmed, saying she supported policies that have contributed to an increase in violent crime. Senator Ted Cruz also criticized her for stating she would not prosecute certain crimes.[26] In September 2021, a committee vote to advance Rollins’ nomination was delayed after Cotton wanted more time to convince colleagues to oppose her.[27][28]
On September 30, 2021, her nomination was stalled in committee by an 11–11 vote.[29] On December 8, 2021, Vice President Kamala Harris cast a tie-breaking vote on the Senate's motion to invoke cloture on, as well as to confirm, Rollins's nomination.[30] On December 18, 2021 the United States Marshals Service refused Rollins’ request for a full time security after threats against her life due to an assessment of low actual risk.[31] On January 10, 2022, she was sworn-in as the United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts.[32]
Follow the stink. This needs to be looked at closely by Senate Republicans.
