There were very few positions requiring Senate approval when the Constitution went into effect.

There are probably hundreds or thousands.

Morality has nothing to do with it.

Both Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Republican leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) backed the measure, the product of an active bipartisan effort from Senate Rules Committee Chairman Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) and top committee Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander (Tenn.). It passed last July on a 79-20 vote.

If Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer are for it, that in and of itself causes me to do a double take.

In this day and age where even the president's own team release top secret information about our operations, I'm not in favor of making the system more lax.

That still doesn't mean that you are not right. It just means I'd rather be on the safe side, than let Harry Reid do what he wants with guys like Mitch McConnell as the only ones standing between us and bad judgment.

Hardly an argument against senate confirmation, there were very few positions period when the Constitution went into effect.

Hardly an argument against senate confirmation, there were very few Federal positions period when the Constitution went into effect.

The way I see it, the more time the Senate spends arguing over whether or not to approve the Presidents man, the less time they spend voting away our rights, dollars, and freedom.
