Warren: No confirmation hearings until ethics concerns addressed
The Hill ^ | January 7, 2017 | Nikita Vladimirov

Posted on 01/08/2017 4:08:15 AM PST by Zakeet

Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Saturday called for the Senate to not hold confirmation hearings for President-elect Donald Trump's Cabinet picks until after the completion of an ethics screening.

"Cabinet officials must put our country's interests before their own. No [confirmation] hearings should be held until we’re certain that’s the case," the Massachusetts Democrat tweeted.

"This is ridiculous," Warren tweeted, "[Trump's nominees] can’t drag their feet on ethics paperwork while their Senate friends try to run out the clock."

Governing by focus group. “Ethics” must be trending well.

Surely there must be some baskets that need weaving, some corn than needs to be ground into meal, some blankets that need to be made.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren faked being an Indian for financial gain - and in the process stole the advantage from a REAL Native American. She’s amoral and unprincipled...

Lieawatha needs to be investigated and prosecuted for her fraudulent claim of Indian heritage. How much money did she get through her deceit and appointment based upon an Indian minority designation?

Words like ethics and Elizabeth Warren should not be used in a sentence together.

I thought confirmation hearings were suppose to BE “ethics investigations”, among other things, with Congressional staffers doing the investigating, and the Congressmen/senators presenting what was found.
