Senate panel split over nomination of Indian-American Vanita Gupta to a key Justice Dept position

The Senate Judiciary Committee has ended in a tie vote over the nomination of Indian-American civil rights lawyer Vanita Gupta as associate attorney general of the United States, amid objections from the Republicans. The committee on Thursday voted 11-11 on Gupta's nomination. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, can now file a discharge motion on her nomination to allow a full Senate vote on her nomination.
