Senate braces for showdown over Trump’s nominees
By Jordain Carney - 04/08/18 05:58 PM EDT

The Senate is barreling toward a showdown over President Trump’s latest Cabinet shuffle, with three critical departments looking for new leaders and more that could follow.

Republicans are preparing for a weeks-long battle as they try to confirm CIA Director Mike Pompeo to be secretary of State and CIA deputy director Gina Haspel to succeed him.

Haspel’s nomination in particular is controversial, and the GOP has little margin for error given Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-Ky.) opposition to both of Trump’s picks.

“I mean that's going to take a lot of floor time,” Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), the No. 3 Senate Republican, told The Hill. “Who knows how long and how much the Democrats are going to want to weigh in with some of those. But it will for sure be time consuming. That's not going away.”

I'm more interested in filling the 7 vacancies on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.  That's one-fourth of the seats.

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-

The Senate needs to brace for the cafeteria being out of filet Mignon for crying out loud. It is a worthless group of losers.
