Sessions's nomination clears key Senate hurdle
By Jordain Carney - 02/07/17 12:53 PM EST

Sen. Jeff Sessions's nomination to be attorney general overcame a key hurdle on Tuesday, paving the way for the Senate to confirm the Alabama Republican this week.

Senators voted 52-47 to move forward with Sessions's nomination. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) was the only Democratic senator to support him.

Absent a deal to yield back debate time, a final vote on Sessions's nomination could occur as late as Wednesday evening.

Great news!  Once he's nominated as well as Gorsuch, it's then time to start draining that swamp!
