Why are the republicans being such party poopers? I’m sure Hagel can fog a mirror as well as the next guy...

So McCain said that walking out on the committee would be
“disrespectful to Chairman Levin.

Keep the POS out.
They want to use him as a prop to show bipartisanship (retching) and be able to say that the GOP was part of any disaster that might ensue from gutting the military.

I am opposed to Hagel’s nomination, but I am also opposed to filibustering cabinet nominees. The constitution does not require a super majority on "advise and consent", except for treaties, in fact, Mark Levin pointed this out in 2005 regarding the nomination of Alito. Although I do know that the Dems do it so I guess turnabout is fair play. It is not a good precedent.

Senator John McCain (R., Ariz.) has argued against the idea, calling it “disrespectful to Chairman Levin and at odds with the best traditions of the Senate Armed Services Committee.” And, in a nutshell, you have what is wrong with John McCain. Who gives a DAMN what is disrespectful to Carl Levin?

In 2006, for example, Democrats filibustered the nomination of Dirk Kempthorne, President George W. Bush’s choice for secretary of the interior.Yeah, but only 8 of them voted against the cloture motion. My guess is that the Pubbies will fold like a cheap suit like they always do.

“Not enough” republican votes suggests that they have some republican votes.
Typical. And the usual last-minute cavers will provide the balance.
