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.

I hear you, but we are dealing with a political party which shows NO respect for the rule of ANY law.

But don't worry because after the SOTU tonight, Reid will enter the Senate chamber tomorrow and announce his rules changes to abolish these types of filibusters allowing Hagel AND Bennett to be nominated.

When the dems blocked Dirk Kempthorne, they set the precedent. A precedent can only be set once. This one is property of dems.

I’m for our side to do whatever is necessary to block Hagel and the undercover mooselimb up for CIA. Both are being pushed by nobama to hurt America.

My friend, you have just explained why the RINOs are a worthless lot! Turnabout is fair play. This notion that as Republicans “we” must adhere to the Marquis of Queensbury Rules while the RATs do whatever suits moving their agenda, is pure BS. The Republicans NEVER work to consolidate their gains, leaving themselves open to being Effed out of their chairs at the earliest point in time. the RATS have made government a blood sport. Time the Republicans returned the favor. The only way it will ever change is when the RATs are made to realize that they will get what they give, every time.
