So Senate Republicans don't want their own President to have his administration. They won't have all night sessions, now this. Why?

They're protecting the prerogative of the legislative branch, which is a separate but equal branch of the gov't.

But clearly McConnell, who has rightly blamed Dems unprecedented obstruction, has no intention of allowing speedy confirmations for POTUS

Not true. In fact dozens & dozens were confirmed by UC voice vote yesterday as part of adjournment motion.

Yes. Dems continue to run clock. People forget, noms can still be filibustered, but only takes 51 votes to kill filibuster.

According to the Atlantic, only 1/10th of the more than 1000 appointments needing confirmation have been approved by Senate. Horrible.
