Democrats to Shatter Imaginary Tradition of Senate Comity and Dispatch
By 
Democratic senators plan to aggressively target eight of Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees in the coming weeks and are pushing to stretch their confirmation votes into March — an unprecedented break with Senate tradition.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL:
“It’s curious that they’d [Democrats] object to treating the incoming president’s nominees with the same courtesy and seriousness with which the Senate acted on President Obama’s nominees,” Antonia Ferrier, a McConnell spokeswoman, said in an email. “Our committees and chairmen are fully capable of reviewing the incoming Cabinet nominations with the same rules and procedures as the same committees did with President Obama’s nominations.”
Um, treating Trump’s nominees with the “courtesy” and “seriousness” with which Senate Republicans treated Obama’s nominees is exactly what Senate Democrats should be doing. It really is amazing that O’Keefe can just disappear this extensive history, though.
