    If any other administration officials or potential Obama nominees want me to take their names out of consideration, I can do that too!

        @RandPaul Or you can do your job and see who gets nominated before you act like a petulant child about it.

        @CavernFabio @RandPaul actually, the job of a senator in this case is to decide whether a nominee should be confirmed. He's doing that.

        @jwativ @RandPaul If his whole thought process is "Nope, because OBAMA!" before any proceedings, that's not good governance.

        @CavernFabio @RandPaul our government was designed with checks and balances so that the default would be little gets done

        @jwativ @RandPaul He has the power to appoint. They have the power to consent. Checks & balances prevent tyranny, not governing.

        @CavernFabio @RandPaul yes, by dividing duties and power like that the intent is that few things gets done, as in necessary things.

        @jwativ @RandPaul No. Look at the historical context. Things get done at a slower pace as a consequence, but inefficiency wasn't the intent.
