UP IN SMOKE (GOP Senator & DoJ vacancies)

I wrote here about the void in the Trump/Sessions, where four nominees for Assistant Attorney General positions are being held up due to Senate inaction. The four positions are crucial ones: Assistant Attorney General, Civil Division; Assistant Attorney General, Civil Rights Division; Assistant Attorney General, Criminal Division; and Assistant Attorney General, National Security Division.

Why can’t these nominees get a vote? Apparently, it’s because of marijuana. Sen. Cory Gardner is vexed with Attorney General Sessions over enforcement of Federal marijuana laws in Colorado.

And who exactly is letting Cory Gardner to get away with this BS?
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
- J. R. R. Tolkien

I guess McConnell could tell him he can go squat when he needs something.

Probably best to leave those spots open until after President Trump fires Sessions, Mueller, and Rosenstein.  Don't want anybody too competent running the freakshow that is our DoJ.
