    A sign of our polarized times: Former senators used to sail through the Senate and get confirmed easily for administration jobs. Today, all 49 Dems voted to filibuster Sam Brownback, a former Kansas senator, to be Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom

        Dems say they sought to block Brownback's nomination to the religious freedom post over what they said was a shoddy record on LGBTQ Americans

        We had a similar thing, Office of Religious Freedom, in Canada under the Cons. It was about protecting Christianity more than freedom for all religions. And nothing got done. Base pleasing.

        Too bad. Republicans have run roughshod over Democrats, effectively destroying our State Dept, EPA, Dept of Education, our standing in the world and more. Do I care that Democrats try putting the brakes on after McConnell stole Supreme Court seat? NO.

        It's not increased polarization. Sam is a terrible governor, senator, and human being; and they're simply showing him the door.

        I mean, The Kansas Experiment failed. Why would you vote for someone who, as governor, chose to to further disenfranchise the poorest people in his state?

        It's fairly absurd to believe Brownback should be put in charge of anything you don't want destroyed.

        Sam Brownstain? Check with the people of Kansas before letting him near any governmental position. It's called due diligence.

        Also weird to pick such a blantantly dogmatic Catholic believer to head a position w/ that title. Like having a Klan member organize a diversity meeting.

        This is also why I question the title & role. This is about promoting a religion on behalf of the US? No way! I heard every Dem voted against it--took another Pence vote to get it thru.
