Democrats do not have the numbers to stop any of the nominations but...

they will have the opportunity to point out the flaws in each of these nominees and why they should not be nominated.

First of all, no laws should be created or changed to permit a nominee to hold his position. After all, if it is approved for one general, it is approved for all generals. They only need to pass it once.

Jeffery Beauregard Sessions, General Mad Dog, Betsy Devos, Mnuchin, the EPA guy?

Hold their feet to the fire and bring everything out into the public. Let the Republicans simmer and stew and criticize if they want. Make 'em sweat.

Give 'em a taste of their own medicine.
