Senate Republicans win massive confirmation of more than 100 Trump nominees during Schumer Shutdown

Recommended Posts

The U.S. Senate on Tuesday approved, in a single vote of 51-47, a massive package of 107 nominations by President Donald Trump, using the new procedure dubbed by Democrats as the "nuclear option," which allows large blocs of nominations to be confirmed by a simple majority.

The decision comes as the government shutdown stretches into its seventh day, with the Senate stuck in negotiations.

In the same batch, more than two dozen ambassadors, several prosecutors and various senior executive positions were confirmed. Among the profiles with the greatest impact were Sergio Gor, ratified as U.S. ambassador to India, and the ratification of Paul Atkins, president of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), for a seat on the commission until 2031.

The vote was taken "en bloc" under S. Res. 412, the new framework that streamlines appointments following the Republican-driven regulatory pivot in September

Given the utter incompetence of his appointments so far, how can anyone not fear for the safety of our country with this news? 

Blame Schumer for putting Illegals first.

Nuclear option huh?

@nobody told me this was impossible.

@Ray_T I didn't say it was impossible.  I just said I don't trust it coming from gutter.

He's saving the Country from people like you. 

Republicans could draw 19 more House seats after an upcoming Supreme Court ruling. Many experts are forecasting the end of a key provision of election law — enabling Republicans to shore up their advantage in the House, according to a new report.
