Mitch McConnell ignoring cabinet confirmation procedure he demanded in 2009

Nicely put

That is the sad part about it. Why cant our elected officals play by the rules? They are the ones that make the rules you would think that they would know how to follow them.

SFC Bernard Walko Advice and consent of the Senate. That is the rule now how the Senate goes about giving advice and consent is up to its own rules and they should be followed.

SFC Bernard Walko - While they are more guidelines than rules (say that like Jack Sparrow lol) many of the picks have not yet completed the customarily required ethics clearances and background checks. They can be confirmed with out them but the point of this background checks is 1 to make sure they are not working for another team. 2 To make sure they are of moral character. 3 So you don't end up with a lemon.

Look at it like this I like Sara Palin she cracks me up, but someone should have fully Vetted her long before they asked her to be a running mate...

While I am a stanch conservative on all financial issues and America First, I have many socially liberal points of view traditional conservatives adamantly disagree with. But the one thing from BOTH sides I will always rail against is Hypocrisy!!! If you wanted it for the left you bloody well do it for the Right. the Rules apply or in this case the guidelines evenly. I wont let the Reps off just because I like the picks.

You are the Standard you accept.
