No vote has been taken, and probably won’t be until at least 5PM
Here’s the live feed of the hearing...

Each Senator, and there’s 26 on the committee, has 8 minutes to make a statement.

You all gotta remember that even though Hagel was part of the US Senate “Club” he NEVER made ANY real friends there(Think McCain with NO Personality). CHUCKY is gonna have problems on the Seante Floor. Possibly look for CHUCKY to GO DOWN!

Doesn’t matter about competency. They all get the rubber stamp approval unless they are staunch conservatives put through the ringer and back again.

Levin has always reminded me of the Penguin in Batman, as played by Danny Devito. A slimy waddling eater of raw fish.

Cruz rocks!
Hagel has refused to submit financial information from speeches to groups.
It may be that Hagel spoke before radical groups and received compensation, or before defense contractors and received compensation.
Now quoting Harry Reid regarding John Bolton. Har!

Wow, I’m loving Ted Cruz! He’s tearing in to Hagel’s refusal to disclose his compensation for speaking events and what groups he spoke to.
To: rainee
Ripping Hagel a new one about compensation/speeches.
Now, quoting Harry Reid!! about refusal to submit financials equals the person has something to hide. Couldn’t hear what confirmation he was referring to but stuck it to Dingy.

Hagel would have collaborated with the Nazis in Paris during WWII. As would so many of today's Washington Republicans. But hey, they have an "R" after their name so we need to support them, right?
