soooo we allow his first picks in because otherwise he'd pick someone else (who we'd suddenly allow in, I guess?)

No, we fight him in places where he actually can't do any worse (DeVos, Sessions, Tillerson) and pick our battles on the others

Keep in mind: we don't allow poo poo right now because they can rubber-stamp anyone they want no matter what we say (DeVos, Sessions, Tillerson)

of course their plan is secret, it's so amazing that if the public knew about it they would be too busy crying tears of joy about the obamacare replacement plan to get anything done... definitely not at all because the plan is basically to gently caress the poor since that's the only button the gop ever pushes

it's also important because administration officials need to have authority among THEIR OWN departments to get anything done. coming in as a 2nd stringer after a couple of weeks basically puts you in the position where your entire department has no reason to trust or listen to you because they have no reason to think you'll be around very long. in addition to the delay of some number of weeks in simply finding a replacement, there will be a delay of some number of MONTHS while the new nominee simply repairs the damage that was done.


depends on what you mean by 'long term'. even in the most charitable view, donny t only has 3 years before he's going to be at least partially distracted by campaigning again. cleaning up after a gently caress-up leaves typically can take about 6 months, sometimes longer if the new nominee themselves gets any flak whatsoever during the adjustment period. even if you presume sessions is replaced by someone equally as evil and equally as adroit, that's 1/6th of his overall effective time lost.

Good post.

Not get involved.

Supreme Court justices will (should) recuse themselves when there is a conflict of interest, for example.

if they're going to get rubber stamped why are you worried about who you're battling against

On the one hand I'm a little worried that opposition to the current administration will continue to act successfully as a substitute for establishment Democrats actually having policy goals or opinions, much as it did when the Republicans made "oppose Obama" their #1 and only goal for the last eight years

On the other hand though, gently caress this administration. Bill Clinton lied under oath about getting he dick sucked and he was nearly impeached, are we supposed to just ignore Jeff Sessions lying about colluding with a foreign power?

yes

Judges recuse on the appearance of a conflict of interest which is a higher standard

Justices actually have no real rules and do whatever the gently caress they want. They mostly follow the rules for judges tho
