On the recordMarch 3, 2015
today marks the 115th day since President Obama announced he was nominating Loretta Lynch to be Attorney General of the United States. That makes her the longest pending Attorney General nominee in more than four decades. The Senate Judiciary Committee reported her nomination favorably last week. So what is the wait?
