The Senate voted to confirm Eric Holder as attorney general Monday evening, making President Barack Obama's choice the nation's first African-American to hold the job.

Though debate quickly turned partisan when his chief supporter denounced Republicans who sought a pledge not to prosecute intelligence agents who participated in harsh interrogations, the Senate still confirmed Holder as expected.

Sen. Patrick Leahy, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, singled out Texas Republican John Cornyn as one who wanted to "turn a blind eye to possible lawbreaking before investigating whether it occurred."

Man, and I thought he might nominate the first female attorney general.

Either ASU has forgotten his history or he's making a crack on someone.

Janet Reno was the first female AG, nominated by President Clinton.

JANET RENO WAS A WOMAN?!?!?!?!?!?

HAHA, I knew someone would take the bait. Come on, she's a bigger man than anyone on this board could hope to be...especially AZGrizFan (but that's mostly because he's a fcuker)
