Schumer threatens Trump Cabinet confirmation delays |
2017-01-10 |
Uninterrupted stinky politix by the Dem establishment. [POLITICO] Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower. offered an explicit warning to Republicans on Monday, saying Democrats are willing to slow down confirmation hearings for Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... 's Cabinet until potential nominees finish independent ethics reviews. Democrats cannot stop Trump's Cabinet with filibusters, thanks to a rules change they pushed through in 2013, but they can prolong the process for weeks by forcing the GOP to burn through extra time before final floor votes are scheduled. Schumer suggested that such a delay could be in the offing. "To spend an extra day or two on each nominee; even if it takes several weeks to get through them all in order to carefully consider their nominations...that’s well worth it," he said. |
