Senate Dems plan to drop nominations blockade if health bill fails

Senate Democrats have dragged out confirmations for even the least controversial nominees while the chamber remained mired in the health care debate. But they’re pledging to drop their blockade if the GOP’s Obamacare repeal effort fails, according to senior Democratic sources.

In recent weeks, the Senate has slowed to a crawl, taking days to process nominees such as a federal judge from Idaho and the second-ranking official at the Pentagon as a protest of sorts against the Republicans’ secretive health care drafting process. The GOP also claims that Democrats aren’t negotiating on a budget deal, veterans’ legislation and Food and Drug Administration fees until the Obamacare debate is over.

They'd best be careful because it doesn't look like it's going to pass.  And, then they'll be stuck having to do the right thing.

If Democrats are offering this, then they are worried that it will pass.  Not that they will actually follow through with their promise if it does not.  Democrats are liars through and through.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
