In the deliberate machinery of Senate confirmation, Todd Blanche's nomination to lead the Justice Department cleared a procedural threshold on Tuesday — not through unanimous enthusiasm, but through the quieter work of negotiation.

The moment is a reminder that even within a governing majority, the question of who should wield the nation's prosecutorial power is rarely settled without friction.
