— After one of the nation’s most protracted cabinet-level confirmation delays, the Senate Thursday approved Loretta E. Lynch to be attorney general. She is the first African-American woman to hold the position.

Ms. Lynch, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of New York, was confirmed 56 to 43, with 10 Republicans voting for her.

Her confirmation took longer than that for all but two other nominees for the office: Edwin Meese III, who was nominated by President Ronald Reagan, and A. Mitchell Palmer, who was picked by President Woodrow Wilson, according to the Congressional Research Service.

Republicans have found themselves in a quandary for months. They longed to replace Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., and they agreed that Ms. Lynch was qualified for the job. But they opposed her because Ms. Lynch defended President Obama’s executive actions on immigration.
 
This is insane. Not only is she anti-america, but she is also a double affirmative action baby being both black and female. Totally unqualified but none of that matters anymore. Without AA she'd be a waitress.
 
Arriba Mexico, Cabrones! Long Live Mexico!

*shoots pistols into the air*

Vida loca, tacos, ceviche, wey, chale.

Republicans are a joke. They take their corporate bribes and sell out their country and their party. You can buy a republican with a steak dinner.

Fantastic news - for latin america. Obama and lynch have no intention of enforcing our immigration laws. They have invited all of latin america to dump their welfare bums on america.

A racist, misogynist jingoist. You'll fit right in here at DP. Welcome!

Did you want Eric Holder to remain in office for the next year-and-a-half? Cause that's what would have happened had she not been nominated.
 
This is great News.
 
The President should have the cabinet heads he or she wants, even the bad ones.
 
Obama could nominate Charles Manson and I would think to myself " well, at least we can say goodbye to Holder".

I watched her confirmation hearings...I heard little that would cause me to go nuts over her getting the nod.... we'll see how she operates, but from what i can tell, she's head and shoulder above the current clown.
 
not gonna lie... i laughed.:lol:

We've had an usually high number of people lately who seem hellbent on attacking minorities. Gotta make a few jokes from time to time or I'll get too caught up on this bull****.

That's BS. I get that you disagree with the womans position on immigration, but pretending she isn't qualified for the job only makes you look (more) foolish and uninformed. The president gets to pick his cabinet. You weren't really expecting him to pick someone who disagreed with him now were you?

Isn't ceviche Peruvian?

Mexicans have great ceviche on the Western Coast. I think a lot of countries have a version of it. If you're ever around San Blas (Nayarit) or Mazatlán (Sinaloa), you should give it a try. It's f'n delicious.

I disagree, she's smart and motivated, most likely she'd be the hostess in charge of the waitresses... :D

She will really have to try hard to be any worse than Holder. Si se puede!
 
another affirmative action poster child who has spend almost 40 years getting positions solely due to her race

Well Cruz didn't see it that way.....Which he made that known. Plus McCaskill said those that merely opposed it all because Lynch agreed with BO, that it was beyond depressing, it was disgusting. The Times also says the Demos assailed the GOP that stood against her.





The Republican majority if it so chose could defeat this confirmation,” said Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, a Republican presidential candidate, who called Ms. Lynch “lawless.”

Mr. Cruz’s comments were immediately answered by several Democrats, who came to the floor to defend Ms. Lynch, recall her personal and professional accomplishments, and assail Mr. Cruz and his colleagues who opposed her.

“This should be a happy day for America,” said Senator Claire McCaskill, Democrat Missouri. She said Republicans opposed Ms. Lynch merely because “she agrees with the man who selected her,” a posture Ms. McCaskill called “beyond depressing — it’s disgusting.”.....snip~

I get a kick out of this. McCain decided that he wanted to run for another term next year so he voted "Nay" while having his little lapdog, Flake, vote "Aye".

It's all just a game to these guys and as long as they have their frat pledge pins they don't give a damn what happens to the rest of the country.
