The U.S Appoints Loretta Lynch As her First Black Female Attorney General. by Nobody: 4:11pm On Apr 24, 2015
What a feat!

"The US Senate on thursday confirmed Loretta Lynch as the nation's
first black female attorney general, after a highly politicized five-month
delay.

She'll be taking over from outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder.
55-Year-Old Lynch has served twice as US Attorney for the Eastern
District of New York, with sterling records as a relentless federal
prosecutor putting mobsters and terror suspects behind bars.

The daughter of a North Carolina Baptist minister father and a librarian
mother, Lynch has been fascinated with the legal system since she was
a child, she attended Harvard College and then Harvard Law School.
Loretta Lynch's father, Lorenzo A. Lynch, was in the Senate gallery
watching when the historic vote took place confirming his daughter as
the first African American female attorney general.
Hours before the vote, Senator Ted Cruz attacked Lynch as unfit for the
position and "unwilling to impose any limits whatsoever on the
authority of the president of the United States."

Despite urging colleagues to stop Lynch, Cruz, a candidate for
president in 2016, was the lone senator not to vote on Lynch's
confirmation, she had votes even from the opposition party".
