Reid: Mattis Should Not Get the Waiver...At Least Not This Term

Outgoing Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid is apparently not convinced that Gen. James Mattis is the best person to lead the department of defense when Donald Trump assumes the presidency. In a newly released interview with New York Magazine, Reid said Congress should not try to remove the legal obstacles in Mattis' way.

Mattis is only four years retired from the military, meaning he needs a waiver from Congress to serve in the Trump administration because he does not meet the seven years' requirement. Reid's advice: Punt the decision to the next Congress.

They're afraid he's going to undo some of the social engineering with which the left has been plaguing the military.

They're probably right.

Oh Harry, no one cares what you think about things anymore.
My political philosophy:

1) I'm not bothering anybody.
2) It's none of your business.
3) Leave me alone!
