BREAKING : Jeff Sessions Confirmed as Attorney General in 52-47 Vote
BOOM! Another confirmation battle, another victory for Team Trump and humiliating defeat for the Democrats.
Surely Chuck Schumer may shed some tears over THIS one.
From ABC15
The Senate voted Wednesday to confirm Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama as the next attorney general, surviving a vocal push by Democrats to derail his nomination.
The 52-47 vote was mostly along party lines, though one Democrat, Sen. Joe Manchin, joined the Republicans to back their Alabama colleague.
The final vote for Sessions — one of Trump’s closest advisers and his earliest supporter in the Senate — is scheduled for Wednesday evening, after 30 hours of debate from Democrats and a stunning fight between liberal Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Senate Republicans which ended in her being forced to sit down after she was accused of impugning Sessions.Shortly before the vote, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell took to the Senate floor to sing the praises of Sessions, after Democrats spent hours criticizing him.
“He’s just a likable guy, one of the most humble and most considerate people you’ll ever meet,” McConnell said. “He’s a true Southern gentleman.”

Beside Trump’s win, this is one of the most fantastic news we had!!!
Now we need to get Trumps pick for the supreme court confirmed Then we can really start to MAGA.
I wonder if an unintended consequence of the “Nuclear Option” is that all Democrats now feel free to vote against a nominee. In the past, they might have considered voting for their colleague. However, now, AG Sessions owes NOTHING to the backstabbing Democrats (Corey Booker) so they have only themselves to blame. Harry Reid’s legacy of partisanship and division has reared its ugly head again. Congratulations on your confirmation Senator Sessions.
