Before this IRS scandal I would have agreed; every nominee deserves an honest hearing and an up or down vote within a reasonable amount of time. Now however I'm changing my mind. One must needs fight a powerful criminal cartel with every tool available.
I tend to agree. Very few of these laws are even read, and in at least one case in Pelosi's House they were voting on a bill that had not even been written yet, so that upon challenge she had to extend the voting for hours until a copy could be compiled and rushed to the House floor as required by law. Absolutely no one had the read the bill, and in fact when it was being voted on it did not in fact exist.
That isn't affected. The issue was Obama making recess appointments when Congress had not been in recess over three days. Note that Congress had not been in recess for the requisite three days because the Pubbies were holding sham sessions every three days specifically for that reason - something I used to oppose.
That persons staff and the second in command will carry on. Every Presidential election that changes the POTUS gives us unfilled positions and sometimes for years. The wheels of government somehow still keep crushing the proletariat.
No, but thank you for asking.
That is a good point. How often do these appointees do anything but the political stuff that shouldn't be done at all? Far too many positions are now merely rewards for big donors.
That's true, and some of the nominees are for relatively non-political positions such as judges. But his point was still valid. Virtually nothing is universally true, and his viewpoint covers a lot of such nominees.
