Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer said Monday he plans to ask for a delay on the confirmation vote of Rex Tillerson, President Trump’s secretary of state pick, in the wake of the administration’s “extreme vetting” immigration executive order and resulting fallout.

“Because when he was questioned in committee and asked about a future Muslim ban, [because] we didn’t know that it was occurring, he was very mealy-mouthed,” Mr. Schumersaid of Mr. Tillerson on NBC’s “Today” program.

“I think we’re going to ask about it for it for just about every one,” Mr. Schumer said when asked about other Cabinet nominees.

Let us hope (pray!) that McConnell has the cojones to tell Schumer to pound sand.  Unfortunately, that seems unlikely.
