Trump should just announce that the Senate has until their Easter Recess to confirm all his appointments (including his Supreme Court Justice and other judicial picks) or he “recess appoints” any that haven’t been confirmed as soon as they leave town. Sure, some of the McCain’s of the party will squeal as well as the democrats about usurping senate power, but let them. Draw the red line and stick to it...

Democrats have started the big squeal. Shumer just sent McConnel a copy of a letter McConell sent Harry Reed in 2009 demanding a number of things Obama appointees must complete before attending confirmation hearings. Now Shumer is demanding that Republicans must meet the same standards required of Democrats. The link below shows a copy of the 2009 letter with Shumer’s additions and tweet.
