Grassley has joined with McConnell on the "no confirmation this year" bandwagon. That is the 2 senators who would move this forward.

For funsies, Grassley voted to confirm Kennedy during an election year

This is actually a flat out lie.

I was watching MSNBC coverage leading up to the debate and was dismayed to find out this idiot, who has no capacity for insight, whose inhalations made him sound like an asthmatic having an attack, is NBC's senior political reporter: https://twitter.com/perrybaconjr

This probably explains, in part, why I don't really watch NBC news coverage.

Can't the senate do pro forma sessions to prevent recess appointments (they are in one now I think)?
Yes. The Senate will not be out of session until the next president is sworn in.

Oh thank christ. Sandoval, unintentional hero of democrats everywhere.
He was never going to actually be nominated, and this cuts short the chance for Senate Republicans to really be publicly shamed.

People say how it sucks to live in DC. It occurs to me those people don't like politics.

As a wonk, I think I might have to move there one day.
