Oh, wait, that’s the role Blanche, who had been serving as acting attorney general, has been playing for some time. While much of the nation slept, the Senate, by a 50-49 vote, confirmed Blanche as the attorney general. Yet Blanche refused to meet with the survivors until last month when Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina made it a condition for Blanche to receive his vote during the confirmation hearings. The fund’s board would only have to answer to the attorney general. After this vote for Blanche, Cornyn folded like a deck of cards.
