The Senate worked late through the night to confirm Todd Blanche as U.S. Attorney General. The battle was against Republicans, not Democrats.

Senator Bill Cassidy finally acquiesced and voted to confirm. The Senate voted 50-49 to approve Blanche, with Republican Senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski joining with Democrats to vote no. Senator Mitch McConnell is still missing.

The Machiavellian game-playing must be draining after a while.  I give Blanche credit for slogging through the process.
