WASHINGTON (AP) – The top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee will request a delay on the confirmation vote on President Donald Trump’s nominee for attorney general. That will push the panel vote until Jan. 31.
The Judiciary panel is scheduled to vote Tuesday on Sen. Jeff Sessions’ nomination. But committee rules allow any member of the panel to hold a vote over until the next week, and members of both parties frequently do. A spokesman for California Sen. Dianne Feinstein said Monday that she will request the extra week “to give the committee more time to conduct its due diligence.”
At Sessions’ hearing earlier this month, Senate Judiciary Chairman Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, said he looked forward to “moving to his appointment without delay.”
I couldn’t agree with you more! President Trump has done more in one day in office than the muslim-in-chief did in 8 years.
The left NEVER lets up when they are in power and we all remember, “Elections have consequences”.
EODGUY
” Ryan and Turtle Face better find their jewels fast!”
Trump has been dealing with prostitutes like these two for over 35 years. I doubt Trump would stop at anything to get them in line. This includes blackmail, or publishing the peoples names who OWN them. We shall see.
[Where is McConnell’s “leadership” to get these through the Senate?]
Where is Mike Pence’s leadership??? As VP, he is president of the Senate.
He needs to channel Frank Underwood and get these Senators in the chamber to vote!!

What’s going on here??? Archaic Senate Rules that gives Minority Party more power than they deserve. Senate is reluctant to change or dispose of rules for fear that the Majority will eventually become the Minority and have no power at all. I think with trump in office and the very real possibility of expanding their Majority in 2018 and in 2020, the Republicans should roll the dice, change the rules and leave the Democrats without a say on anything.
The massive amount of regs that Obama did just before leaving office can be removed if they haven’t been put in the register yet.
Watch for the dems to find some way to cement them in behind our backs. With the help of some of the nevertrump gop
Trump needs to designate a member of his team to work on this full time.
Get all the ducks in the row so Trump can plink them down.
[Where is McConnell’s “leadership” to get these through the Senate?]
Schedule a vote before the full Senate tomorrow. Let the Dems scream bloody murder.
I’m with you. Nothing wrong with no dems. We’ll see what it’s like in a year or so.
Good ?
Yep. Nuke em.
Wow, that’s pretty wild!—but unfortunately not surprising.
