        These nominees didn't go through the ethics process and are largely unqualified. Delay is 100% warranted.

        aggressive delaying is also the correct strategic response to prior GOP delaying

        are you paying any attention at all? The party of obstructionism has been the GOP for the last 8 years

        1) Bending over for Obama is hardly obstructionism. 2) That's no defense of what Dems are doing now.

        Mitch McConnell set the precedent. Blame him for refusing to allow Obamas to be considered

        RTA: Both appointees were caught lying under oath during their hearings. That's perjury. Dems are right on this one.

        they don't have enough votes to block the nominees I don't think. GOP controls majority.
