The Senate Democratic leader plans to demand answers on Qatari influence in the United States and call for testimony from the attorney general.

For the most part, nominees aren’t subject to filibuster; the most that the Democrats can do is to slow the pace of approvals to a crawl, which they should have been doing from day 1. Next best time to do it for every nominee is today.

    The problem is “no matter who” leaves no room for better democrats.

    Which is why the party is basically oops all manchins.

      Nah. Its that of any large group, there is a risk somebody is bought off. So having a few more legislators more than the minimum protects you from that.
