Democrats plan ways to delay Trump cabinet nominations

AmericanThinker: Congratulations are in order for Senate Democrats.  After eight years of being a rubber-stamp Soviet legislature, they have suddenly rediscovered the joys of congressional oversight.  While Obama’s cabinet nominees were approved quickly very early in his administration, Democrats want to drag Trump’s out for a while:

Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell are heading for a showdown over Donald Trump’s Cabinet.

Schumer, who will become Senate minority leader next week, has privately indicated to McConnell that Democrats may not be willing to go along with quick confirmations for Trump’s nominees if the Senate majority leader’s caucus doesn’t meet several demands, according to sources in both parties familiar with the matter.

…. Schumer is calling for McConnell to not schedule simultaneous confirmation hearings for Cabinet nominees, so that members on multiple committees can attend each confirmation hearing. That could make it difficult for all nominees to be ready for floor votes by Inauguration Day.  MORE

  1. They keep forgetting who they’re dealing with. He’s on the down low now but come 1/20, that shit ain’t happening. I think it’s best that both sides make no pretensions from the git go.

    Make that 3 sides as Trump will also be up against the likes of McCain & Ryan.

    If RR could rally the country without any social media, Trump should have a field day with them.

  2. If it weren’t for RINOs and other traitors, the Demonrats couldn’t delay shit.
    Watch Ryan and McConnell bend over to accommodate the socialists.
    McCain and Graham will provide the lip (and tongue) service.

    izlamo delenda est …

  3. Tim is correct … the Dems can’t whip their asses without RINO approval

    Trump’s gonna have to stomp on Bitch BiConnell’s, McShitstain’s & his sock puppet Gramnesty’s collective necks …. you too Paulie

  4. So, the “plan” is “Since we hate the ‘rule of law’ we decided to rule by ‘rule writing by the unelected, and lawfully un-fire-able’… and now we’re going to leave the thrones of the rule writing princes empty.”

    Oh, NO Primcess Pelosi, don’t throw us in THAT briar patch!

  5. If they want to clearly reveal that the most treasonous Branch of Gruberment was NOT the fake muslim idiot/marxist Kenyan, then let’s drop the mask.

    The best thing for America would be for The People to take down this corruptocrat Congress with torches and pitchforks once and for all.

  6. The nominees will be confirmed in any case, but the Dems could shut things down for a period of phony mourning if they all gathered together on the Mall, doused themselves with a lot of nice, green ethanol, and lit themselves on fire. Call it a bonfire of the vanities.
