Senate Republicans will begin the confirmation process for President-elect Trump's Cabinet this week amid efforts by Democrats to stall the process.
Half a dozen nominees will appear at Senate confirmation hearings scheduled for Jan. 11. The Senate Judiciary Committee will start a two-day hearing beginning Jan. 10 to consider the nomination of Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., who is Trump's pick for attorney general.
"The priorities between now and Jan. 20 are hearings on Cabinet members," said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
Besides Sessions, the other nominees appearing are Rex Tillerson for state, Betsy DeVos for education, retired Marine Gen. John Kelly for homeland security, Elaine Chao for transportation and Mike Pompeo for CIA.

Obstructionists!
DEMOCRATS! - shutting down the government!!!! Preventing stuff getting done!! Blocking progress!!! It’s UN-AMERICAN!! We’ll all DIE!!!
Isn’t this what they always say when it’s reversed?
This will pave the path to justify GOP implementation of the Reid Rule.
Then we only have to worry about GOP obstructionists.
Clowns are delusional !
Who needs Cabinet Secretaries...just install Tsars.
Wait until Trump constantly hammers them. they’ll whimper and cry
Obama had 7 cabinet members approved by his Inauguration Day. And 5 more within his first week of office
This obstructionism is not only petty partisanship by small men, it is a threat to the national security of the United States to deliberately obstruct transition to a fully functioning government
What if there were a severe national emergency? .
Dear ‘Rats, you have been rejected. Go set up your own Crime Family Foundation.
All the ethical paperwork will be in in due time.
The Demonicrats in Congress are traitors. They should be dealt with as such.
So. Are they gonna block a beltway or something? Will the “Democrats” really be there, or will they have their staffers do it?
This could backfire for the dems. The US Senate is a mess, with corruption, those with their own agenda, those jealous of DJT’s success, dems who pretended to be ‘pubs in order to infiltrate and destroy conservative and nationalistic desires of US citizens. Obstruction by the dems is going to force them to either side with the dems (and probably lose their next election) or get in line and quickly endorse DJT’s nominees.
The Democrat Thug Party.
Good luck with that! Rules have changed, we won, there are consequences as a result. “Footsie” time is over. Trump will get a good laugh out of their antics.
Dear Heavenly Father, We praise your Holy Name. Thank you for Your gift of wisdom. We pray that those who would stand in the way of any appointments of the Trump Administration that are in Your Will will be outed and defeated and removed from their positions of influence. We humbly pray for Your mercy for our country which has turned its back on You and also your chosen people of Israel. In Jesus Name, Amen
Good luck!! Fox is broadcasting that only 51 votes are needed since the Demonrats changed the rules in 2013. LOL!!
Everytime one of these asshats says something obstructing the process, Trump needs to break out the video where obummer says “I won, get over it”.
The political game is over for the Democrat party. The fools just cannot see the handwriting on the wall!!! Boy....they are gonna be shcoked when the Mid-Term election of 2018 destroys their entire aprty politically!!! What idiots!!!
As a side bar.......DJT, The RNC and the fifty state governors should actively begin cleansing the voter rolls across the country of all the Illegal types of voters the Democrats cheat with...all the time!!! Come on....California & New York are totally controlled by illegal voters across the board. You pubbies have almost two years to cleanse the voter rolls of illegal voters of all stripes, 100% Democrat scum & vermin!!! Do it....beginning January 20, 2017!!! No vote should ever be allowed to vote if they are felons or, allowed to vote without showing residence, proof of citizenship and federal or state photo ID!!! Make our republic work once again!!! The Democrat Party must be destroyed politically...across the board!!!
Amen
