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.”
Remember the nuclear option that Harry Reid was so thoughtless as to give to us.
Screw em. Keep pushing. Don’t stop pushing. Don’t give them one damned second to push back. They would screw us in the ground right now if the beast was in the job. So, screw em. Run them in the ruts of the ground they plowed with our bodies. Up the Republic!!!!
Where is McConnell’s “leadership” to get these through the Senate?
No.
Tag lines are not limited to 140 characters. :)
It’s not going to work. They’re wasting time.
No.
Feinstein says wants more time to do due diligence on Sessions.
More like give Lynch more time to destroy files.
Love your tag line and yes, I’m ready and packed!!!
The delays are a smokescreen for the candidate they really fear, Sessions. If he decides to go after their many indiscretions it is a target-rich environment.
ENUFF of THE BULLCHIT!!! We are the majority now...screw them and start using the N.O!!!! We demand it!!!!
Fineswine is playing with fire. Trump wants Sessions and whomever screws with that will pay dearly.
Love your tag line and yes, I’m ready and packed!!!
Don’t give’em that Senate courtesy of a senatorial hold. They would NEVER give it to you. Run Them Down. I’m with you.
Buying time.
The ‘Rats are buying time for their criminal friends inDOJ to destroy evidence.
They can seek all they want, if McConnell does his job the Democrats can’t do a thing.
Muzzy-style Hudna. Time for them to reload during the weekend, for bombardment next week.
See Republicans, this is how it’s played. You fools took 2 milliseconds to confirm Holder and Lynch, and both were committed leftists.
Say Hell No. You should have confirmed AT LEAST 7 nominees on Friday. We’re @ 3 as of today. The vote is tomorrow. Too Bad So Sad. Wanna play hard ball . . . well you got your wish.
