0 Senators Voted Against Barr’s Confirmation As AG in 1991; Confirmed Today 54-45

In 1991, 0 votes against in committee, 0 votes against in Senate, unanimous confirmation. Then Senate Judiciary Chairman Joe Biden:
Today, 12-10 vote in committee, 54-45 vote in Senate.
Why?
I understand Rand Paul’s vote against on grounds of privacy, an issue that he has fought for throughout his tenure. But let’s not pretend that any other senator cares about that as a seminal reason for casting a vote.
So, such notwithstanding, why?

"I know of no one on the Democratic side asking for a roll call vote," Biden said. "I see no need for one."

Nomination votes have generally gotten more partisan. It was happening under Obama too. E.g. Loretta Lynch was confirmed 56-43.

Obviously, Barr has spent the last 28 years being a giant obnoxious arse.

Any Trump nominee who who is confirmed is seen as a win for Trump. The dems: "TRUMP MUST HAVE NO WINS! Any Trump win could increase the probability of Trump's reelection in 2020. We want back in power so much we'll sabotage the country to stop Trump!"

Do tell us when she was ever confirmed 99-0 prior to that.
What a fricking half wit.

Expecting Dems to be consistent is like expecting the sun to rise in the west.

Republicans need to pay the next democrat president back . Republicans have to start to playing by the same rules of the democrats.
