Today the Senate seems content in ceding its constitutional duties to the new president. Republican Senators are poised to rubber stamp even the most suspect and unqualified cabinet picks. We should all be concerned about the damage being done to our constitutional system of separation of powers.
Yet most Republican senators have fallen in line, and there’s little wonder why.

Gee Eff Wy
As every communist/dem vote lock stock and barrel for every pick of theirs.
Maybe the author should instead ponder the damage done to Congress by the 17th Amendment.
Isn’t is sad that we cannot even use accurate acronyms on FR? I was just bounced for two weeks for complaining about dirty boomer hippies with no profanity at all. I suspect the mods are boomers.
Ernst should be primaried regardless. If she wins another 6 year term she’ll go back to her old ways.
La.-Cassidy is a back stabber. Same with Tillis in NC.
Cornyn/Risch/Capito-all old. New blood needed.
Who’s gonna step up and challenge these people?
Collins-Maine. Keep her. The best we can get.

The root of this issue. A problem ‘solved’ just creates another.
For years the Congress has had no trouble “ceding” its authority to the USSC as well as to every Tom, Dick, & Harriett NGO that exists. Of course, now that Trump is wielding power, something is really, really wrong with Congress.
So why did most of these Assist. ‘Rats vote for most of Jao BiXiden’s appointments?
Hegseth, Noem, Patel, Homan, Rubio and Gabbard are all highly qualified for their important jobs.
Pete Hegseth is a people person as the picture of the happy smiles of his wife and children show.
Nick Troiano
The primary duty of the Senate is to advise - i.e. mention the names of suitable people.
The senators had weeks to name a more qualified person than Hegseth but did not do so.
It's the ranked voting system that the dims use to rig the elections
Note to PDJT...an EO to stop ranked votng would be nice.
Boo f’ing hoo.
I saw a headline that read, "Hegesth confirmed despite bipartisan opposition" as if anyone who voted for Trump gives a flying F what McConnell, Murkowski, and Collins had to say about it.
Did any of these handwringers have one iota to say about any of Biden’s disastrous appointments?
If they reversed the 17th amendment just think of all the money that could be saved. Senators would have to put the good of the state before the good of the lobbyists
Its funny they say this yet say nothing about the fact that not a single Democrat voted for him. Lots of Republican Senators voted to confirm Biden’s picks yet the Democrats are nearly unanimous in opposing any of Trump’s nominations that are not Establishment insiders.
Perhaps the people in question will fight for us better when led into battle by an experienced and wiser President Trump.
Possible senatorial replacements should keep an eye out for their future possibilities which might arise from traitorous behavior.
