5 hearings on Wednesday alone, along with key budget vote

WASHINGTON — The Republican-controlled Senate, brushing aside concerns from Democrats and a government-ethics watchdog, is moving quickly this week to help install Trump administration officials, scheduling multiple confirmation hearings on a single day on which the chamber also will begin voting on a step toward repealing much of the Affordable Care Act.

Republicans have set at least nine confirmation hearings for the week, starting on Tuesday with one for Sen. Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.), whom Trump nominated to lead the Justice Department.

Good. The whiners would whine even if Trump kissed their butts. This is the right approach.

The left’s heads are gunna explode.

Obama had to wait until feb\march\april to have some of his people voted on on 2009 ( after some had to recuse themselves)

He also didn’t have to wait on a lot of them, to include Hillary Clinton - one day. I wonder how well she was vetted ?

Eight were confirmed in a single day after Obama’s Inauguration, thanks to the agreeable GOP Senators. So the Democrat media and senators should stifle themselves now and pass Trump’s cabinet choices en mass.

I’m waiting for McCain and Graham to try to put up roadblocks. Although the last couple of times I saw McCain speak on the Senate floor (once in person) he didn’t seem to really care and was just saying words.

I just hope the spineless, chicken hearted GOP leadership, will have the cojones to handle the NYT, CNN and the democrats' media blitz. Make no mistake, the Leftist cabal will pivot on a dime from Russian "hacking" to Anita Hill part II.

In this, the GOP could learn from the commies; Democrats NEVER go off the reservation. Yes, I'm looking at you, girly twins McCain and Graham..

Sessions absolutely critical. Indictment of Harry Reid in Utah is held up by FBI, DOJ and Ut politics. Those charges will lead up the line to Podesta/ Hillary. Mafia ties. Huge swamp to drain.
