Voices: Shameful acts


The Senate has confirmed a new attorney general. During the hearings, this nominee appeared to condone torture, especially waterboarding, yet he was confirmed by a majority of the Senate, which included all of the Republicans.

This is one of the most shameful acts the Senate has participated in of a long line of shameful acts.
