One can only conclude that they don't want to stop the confirmations. What they want is the issue as something to rally their voters.

And suck up campaign contributions.

Democrats Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Joe Manchin of West Virginia, both from energy-producing states, voted with Republicans to confirm Pruitt. Just one GOP senator, Susan Collins of Maine, voted against Pruitt...

What’s with this chick from Maine? Why did she even bother running R?

Vote was 52-46. Looks like Manchin D-WV voted aye and Collins R-ME voted nay, keeping the total at 52.

“Pruitt is going to cause some idiot libs to have nervous breakdowns.”

Yep. Amongst the lot of President Trump’s cabinet picks, Pruitt is the one who’s going to drive the libs the most bonkers.

The wailing, teeth-gnashing, tears, sack-cloth, and whining are going to be awesome to behold, approaching at least Category 5 in magnitude.

Well, now that he’s approved, President Trump is going to sign executive orders to get rid of the EPA!

Manchin will be. Heitkamp, not too sure. Burned a lot of bridges. Another to see go is Tester from Montana and quite possibly Nelson of Florida. The pubbies could end up with a huge majority in the Senate.

In other words, the headline is contradicted by the first sentence of the article.

More fake news from a source with 'NBC' in its name. Who wudda thunk it...

I live in Maine and I can’t stand that bitch.

In 2014, when Susie Q ran for re-election, I wrote in the name of a guy I know who ran for the state Senate as a Republican in my area some years back, and lost.
