"A Senate Democratic leader seemed to imply on Wednesday that Republicans are delaying a confirmation vote on Attorney General nominee Loretta Lynch because she’s black.Speaking on the Senate floor, Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) noted that Lynch is the first black woman to be nominated as attorney general, but said she is being “asked to sit in the back of the bus,” a reference to the Jim Crow laws that forced segregation between blacks and whites decades ago."
