    Shaheen’s opposition to Pompeo virtually assures he won’t get recommendation of the committee to become Secretary of State - first time since 1925 when committees began doing business in open session. He still will be advanced to floor and likely to be confirmed w mod Dem backing

        Hi Manu. Not sure what you mean about 1925...in 2005 John Bolton failed to secure committee recommendation as UN ambo nomineehttps://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/29/us/politics/john-bolton-national-security.html …

        Yep - but never for a Secretary of State nominee. Senate historian’s office says since 1925, there have been no instances of a Secretary of State nom receiving an unfavorable vote in committee. Before then, committee business often done in closed session - so no accurate records

        Forgive me for the dumb question but does the committee’s thumbs down kill his nomination or is it little more than a negative Yelp review?

        I believe that the Majority Leader can allow for any nomination to move to the full Senate if they so choose. It's just very rare and they usually go along with the committee's vote. So yes, glorified Yelp review, especially with McConnell at the helm

        Don't call them "moderate." There's nothing "moderate" about supporting Pompeo for any Senate-confirmed post, it is an extremely right-wing position to take that normal Americans do not support.

        @SenateDems NO ONE in your ranks should vote to confirm Pompeo. He is a tRUmp & Putin puppet. If you cannot do your job, we will find someone who can.

        I see what you are saying, but if democrats in red states are so afraid that if they vote with democrats on important issues they won't get re-elected,we may as well have republicans in those seats.
