Loretta Lynch Confirmed as Attorney General After Embarrassing Delay
LatestBy a vote of 56-43, Loretta Lynch was confirmed as Attorney General of the United States on Thursday afternoon. It took the do-nothings in the Senate more than five months to take their thumbs out of their asses and stop swordfighting with their proverbial dicks for long enough to take care of this simple task.
Lynch’s confirmation as current Attorney General Eric Holder’s replacement was stalled while Senators wasted time and money yelling about President Obama to anyone who will listen, the main activity of legislators since a historically anemic voter turnout in the 2014 elections gift-wrapped both chambers of Congress for the GOP (before the election flip, Democrats declined to confirm Lynch, instead focusing confirming more controversial Obama nominees). Per the Washington Post, ten Republicans crossed party lines to vote for Lynch’s confirmation. The rest have already commenced whining with great violence to any television camera that will listen.
