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.

Yeah, on the day that the president admits that he killed innocent people and takes full responsibility; the GOP approves an attorney general that will not hold him responsible.

That was predictable. Proctology is reserved for Republicans.

The good news is we are finally rid of Eric Holder. The bad news is the replacement has promised to be just as corrupt and political.

Well, the total number of votes recorded was 99, so that’s probably accurate.
I wonder why he skipped the vote.

I’m sorry, apparently I’m confused about something: didn’t Republicans win a huge victory in November - taking control of both houses?

Sens. Jeff Flake of Arizona, Orrin Hatch of Utah, Mark Kirk of Illinois, Susan Collins of Maine, Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, should be thrown out of office as soon as posible!
They are no better than the most liberal democraps.
