Thank you, Senator McCaskill, for trying to out the Party of Noers who have held up democracy by placing ultra super duper double secret holds on nearly 80 of President Obama’s nominees:
McCaskill asked for unanimous consent to vote on the 18 nominees. In response, Republicans allowed Democrats to confirm Stuart Nash, a nominee to the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, but objected to the other nominees.
Gee, that was awfully big of them. One whole confirmation of one whole judge? Who could ask for more than that?
McCaskill:
“Section 512 of the law we passed in January of 2007 says that once the unanimous consent motion is made on a nominee, the member who is holding that nominee has to file a letter explaining their hold and that has to be published in the Congressional record”
Well that would be embarrassing. At the very least, revealing. At the very, very least, annoying to those who would rather hide under cloakroom cloaks for fear of being exposed for the block-heads they are. Pun intentional.
McCaskill will ask for unanimous consent to move 60 other nominees along.
Imagine that. She wants government to work for the people. What a traitor.
