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.
Now maybe people will understand why Red Hampshire conservatives don't vote Republican as 'the lesser of two evils'. In Red Hampshire, Republican = Democrat.
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.
Battle Cry of 2012- VOTE REPUBLICAN AND TAKE BACK THE SENATE TO THWART OBAMA!!!
Suckahs!
I am so disgusted after this November joke that it seems pointless to vote. A waste of time.
Orrin Hatch and Lindsey Graham - figures
Kelly Ayotte...Sarah Palin’s greatest disappointment.
I quit the Republican Party a few years ago.
Glad i did.
I heard more that once on this forum, “We got to elect Republicans to stop Obama.” I guess we stopped him, we elected Republicans.
You’re absolutely right.
So much for the Constitution and the rule of law.
Don’t blame him one bit for wanting no part of that vote...it was a joke.
She is a Democrat. That is self evident.
Good point!
So Mark Levin, what do you think of Orrin Hatch now?
Yep, traitorous idiots.
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.
