Rush,

Seriously? You don't blame McConnell?

Where is he? Why isn't McConnell on every TV show rebutting the nonsense that Schumer is spouting?

Why isn't McConnell out there making the case FOR confirmation in the Senate? Why isn't McConnell showing outrage at the Democrats boycotting the committee votes?

Why is McConnell AWOL?

Oh, and Rush... About that cloture thing...

You don't need 60 votes anymore for Cabinet confirmations. That's only for Supreme Court nominations now.

So there is no excuse for bringing confirmation votes to the floor, except for weak leadership.

McConnell can just change the rules if he wanted to. That’s how Reid implemented the nuclear option. I’m sure he didn’t have Republican support to do that. Committees and Sub Committees are not a constitutional requirement. IT’s just an excuse for the Republicans to continue to do nothing
