Trump Losing the Chess Match?

1991 Biden helps Barr become AG the first time. 

“Barr also said at the hearings that Roe v. Wade was ‘the law of the land’ and claimed he did not have ‘fixed or settled views’ on abortion.”[33] Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Joe Biden, though disagreeing with Barr, responded that it was the “first candid answer” he had heard from a nominee on a question that witnesses would normally evade; Biden hailed Barr as “a throwback to the days when we actually had attorneys general that would talk to you.”[34] Barr was approved unanimously by the Senate Judiciary Committee, was confirmed by voice vote by the full Senate,[35][36] and was sworn in as Attorney General on November 26, 1991.[37]
