A local editorial - usually liberal or pragmatic - suggested that as long as The T does not have a full cabinet, that Bannon calls the shots and that this is why Democrats should stop blocking them.
Curious of what people here think..

Approve cabinet appointees to block Bannon? (Original Post)

(7,572 posts)1. That is a point, particularly in the State Dept.
The EPA and Education DEFINITELY should be blocked.

No benefit in approving them. None.

(50,946 posts)3. Yes. And at the same time, sue to have Bannon taken off the NSC.

(3,283 posts)4. Yeah and that too. Resist.
Squinch
(50,946 posts)6. Yes. Resist ALL OF IT.

(37,428 posts)5. Bannon probably wrote that editorial.
It'll be hard enough marshaling Dems with heart to block Bannon's agenda. Let's not go easy on them.

(32,342 posts)7. That's dumb.
Bannon is going to dictate what the Cabinet does too. This is simply gumming up the rubber stamp Cabinet for as long as possible.
If we can drag it on a month, that's one month out of the two years these fuckers are denied power until the midterms.
