While waiting for confirmations, Trump’s appointments can still go about their business in an informal fashion.

Trump sure as hell needs to eliminate a half dozen departments and agencies. None of them existed during the Industrial Revolution, and we don’t need them today.

The more they impair the process, the greater the victory when EACH ONE IS CONFIRMED.

At the opening of the 2017 session there should be a roll call vote to change the standing rules of the senate to permit all nominees to be confirmed with a single roll call vote. :)

And I'd bet that there are at least a dozen Republicans who would vote against that.

Nice committee membership you’ve got there, Chuck. It would be a shame if something happened to it.

... two days of hearings per Cabinet pick...
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Thanks to Democrats' past antics with the nuclear option all that's really needed is an up or down vote.

Schumer is delusional and simply 'making noise'...IMO.

Of course they will, it’s what Tom (deeply saddened) Daschle did to W in 2001. Which helped make 9/11 possible.

“That’s pretty petty. The republican green lighted obamas picks with no drama.”

I think I heard that most of Obama’s picks were approved on Day One. A couple others took longer, but the entire process was only about two weeks.

I’ll never understand why they think they’re special — that they throw common courtesy out the window, or that they make up rules for themselves (one of which we’ll use now — thank you Harry Reid!), or that they can lock the GOP out of a room and pass a law by stealth. They’re just evil, and proud of it.

“...that they throw common courtesy out the window, or that they make up rules for themselves...”

They are Bolshois, the New Bolsheviks.

No quarter against civilians. No courtesy in discussion. No rules for radicals.
