Approve cabinet appointees to block Bannon?

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..

It'll be hard enough marshaling Dems with heart to block Bannon's agenda. Let's not go easy on them.

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.
