      One day from eight months in, the Trump administration is about to get a solicitor general. The vote on Noel Francisco is happening now.pic.twitter.com/VzkaqAZ36G

      Francisco was a partner at Jones Day before joining the administration.

      He will be the fourth Senate-confirmed person in leadership at DOJ — behind AG Sessions, DAG Rosenstein, and AAG Brand.

      Dana Boente, the US Attorney for EDVA, also is Senate-confirmed. He is acting AAG for the National Security Division.

      Until the Republicans show up, Francisco is actually losing his vote. (But that's not expected to stand.)pic.twitter.com/lP17jbJ1nE

      (I'm somewhat surprised Dems are going all-out against him. Is the logic, "If Rs let all noms thru, I guess Ds will just vote no on all"?)

      With no filibuster, and Rs in control, it makes sense from a bottom-line perspective. They don't need D votes, so why would the Ds give any?

      Is this about the travel ban? DACA? LGBT issues? DOJ more broadly? Sessions? Trump? Obama (Garland)? Life? the universe? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Replying to @chrisgeidner
      I think the logic is that the OSG will take awful positions (as it has already) and no Dem wants to be on record supporting them.

          Both make sense. ... Just weird thinking Manchin voted for Sessions but against Francisco.

          Also, tho, Ds could argue versions of these for almost every senior management and policy position, I'd think. So, is this the new norm?
