A new battle is stirring on Capitol Hill as Senate Democrats have threatened to not move forward with confirmations of President Donald Trump’s US attorney nominees around the country – already following through with a hold on one of his picks.
Senate Democrats say they are merely following precedent established by now-Vice President JD Vance under President Joe Biden, when the then-senator held up US attorney nominations in protest of what he called the political prosecutions against Trump.
Sen. Dick Durbin, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, announced Thursday that he would hold the nomination of Jason Reding Quiñones as the US attorney for the Southern District of Florida.
In the announcement, Durbin said he would leave “open the possibility of holds on future U.S. Attorney nominees,” citing Vance’s previous moves.

Thanks dick.
“Sen. Dick Durbin, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, announced Thursday that he would hold the nomination of Jason Reding Quiñones as the US attorney for the Southern District of Florida.”
It is obvious durbin is a racist.
Now that Dirtbin is ready to quit, he’s immune to any punishment, just unlimited arsehole.
Did Rand Paul join Durbin, yet?
“Dirtbin”? I prefer “Turdbin.”
Since they don’t have the majority in Congress, and can’t impeach Trump, this is the option they have left.
Democrat politicians do not give a damn about America or the American people...They only wish to stop anything the republican politicians do to help America and the American people...
Anyone who votes for a democrat is a damn fool....
Trump and cabinet will find a work around.
Richardhead Durbin.
Dick Durban before he dicks you
Many here recognized that today was coming after Vance broke the dam.
Biden got EVERYTHING. Trump gets NOTHING. BOTH parties unified for Biden. It’s sickening.
Not all punishment. I can think of many ways.
Half the voters are that stupid.
Republicans voted for every single traitor dirtbag Democrat that came before them and lied their asses off under oath.
You know, I wonder just how many illegitimate votes the democrats get each election...
How?? They’re in the minority!
Little Dick is the greatest threat to the DNC’s Damockrazy.
I don’t get it either, although I think it has to do with the Judiciary Committee vote to get the candidate to the floor. I cannot remember why, it might be if the vote isn’t unanimous or some stupid thing like that it is considered bad in some way IIRC. If the vote is in the majority that should be enough.
