Democrats are mulling an audacious plan to bottle up President Trump's nominee to head the State Department in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee - even though Mike Pompeo likely has enough votes to win confirmation on the Senate floor.
The plan under consideration would involve Democrats on the panel refusing to vote to discharge Pompeo from the committee with even an unfavorable recommendation.
This would force Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to offer a motion to bring Pompeo's nomination to the Senate floor. Democratic senators and aides say that motion would be subject to a filibuster, allowing Democrats to block Pompeo.

Pro-life, pro-American. Is there any group Leftist Democrats hate more than babies in the womb and Americans?
That too. Add Christians to their hate list posted previously.
He is pro-life.
Mitch better make us proud. If he doesn’t, the fix is in and the Republicans can go pound sand.
Totally agree..
They want to stop DJT . it is time for Mitch to get off his high horse and work for the POTUS...and the Party title he runs under...
IF NOT THEN PRESIDENT NEEDS TO FIRE, MITCH’S WIFE...LET’S CLEAN HOUSE. REALLY SHAKE UP THE MEDIA AND DEMOCRATS.
DEMOCRATS ARE REALLY PI$$ING ME OFF.
President Trump nominated him, that easy
But that’s no excuse for a party line vote. This will leave a mark on the Democrats. They are coming out as more and more petty and petulant.
In the Senate that is. :-)
A good reason to knock off 10 or 12 senators
Heitkamp is going to vote for confirmation.
Ya....if we thought there were 50 in the Senate willing to confirm.....
Yep. And this what the Dems want the Pubbies to do because its what they plan on doing as soon as they have control of Congress. But this way they can make the Pubbies pay the media price for doing it.
“What is wrong with Pompeo? Why do they want to block him?”
#!, he’s an effective manager and leader. And if he and Trump can pull off the de-nuclearization of NOKO, and help to normalize the relations on the Korean Peninsula, it will mean the RATS loose big time in November.
Run national campaign ads for republicans in the 3 days leading up to the vote.
Remember: Democrats want to kill each and every one of you, if you actually cut to the chase.
No there is not. Once again the Never Trumpers stoop to our right lying. Despicable cowardly lies being whispered by media frauds pretending to be “Movement Conservatives”
He has been thur the confirmation process once all ready. Did you lying scum bags forget that?
Didn’t Jean Shaeen actually say she wouldn’t vote for him because he is pro-life?
“...Democrats want to kill each and every one of you, if you actually cut to the chase.”
The...Bottom...Line...! Why else are they so hellbent on civilian disarmament?
If he is not a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and in good standing then he is obviously unfit to hold any cabinet level position.
