I don’t even know who you are, frankly. Nor do I hate you.
My only exasperation was your continuance of this author’s claims and adding supposition about effects on the campaign. None of that applies to Ted’s authorization to advise and consent. You can take that as a personal offense and slight; it was not meant to be so. To me, giving this whole question about confirmation is pointless and it should be treated as such, thus my consternation.
My goal in any of this was solely to convey the author’s assertions are BS and that there is no question about his authority with respect to the task at hand.
I don’t make enemies over things like this. You may, but I reserve my enmity for Democrats and liberals.
