WASHINGTON (AP) – The top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee will request a delay on the confirmation vote on President Donald Trump’s nominee for attorney general. That will push the panel vote until Jan. 31.
The Judiciary panel is scheduled to vote Tuesday on Sen. Jeff Sessions’ nomination. But committee rules allow any member of the panel to hold a vote over until the next week, and members of both parties frequently do. A spokesman for California Sen. Dianne Feinstein said Monday that she will request the extra week “to give the committee more time to conduct its due diligence.”
At Sessions’ hearing earlier this month, Senate Judiciary Chairman Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, said he looked forward to “moving to his appointment without delay.”
Does Grassley have what it takes to say “No?”
Exactly........
This should not be tolerated. We know this is obstruction and stalling. Call a vote and if they won’t vote.... Nuke ‘em.
Democrats lost the election. They need to grow up and get over it.
The nuclear option is already in effect. This seems to be a legal Senatorial delaying tactic. I wonder if McConnell can void it.
Too bad so sad. Nuke the cockroaches from orbit.
Run em down with a steam roller.
And look at the source! Those corrupt liars in this Senate committee have their own corrupt media partners reporting this childish delay, all concocted by collusive crooks.
What’s going on here. We have the Senate, House and the President. Why do the Democrats seem to be in power? Beginning to look like real crap, same old stuff.
Boy engedi really got me a bit concerned if LL was really left in place after the inauguration. had to check on the DOJ website to find that Sally Q Yates is listed as acting attorney general. Whew....
:-) Great. I’m not really packed. There is nothing down here that I want to take with me that would taint perfect Heaven with our LORD Yeshua!
Feinswine is such a corrupt partisan old bi*ch.

The Senate has worked with Sessions for how many years, but now they need to do “due diligence”?? What an idiot Feinstein is and she believes Americans are that gullible.
Mine seems to be. I have to work that short stuff to pack it in or I’d put in a long tagline.
Her husband made out like a bandit during the Iraq war. She may think she is untouchable, but her husband darn sure isn’t.
Nuc that bitch
The Dims are pulling this garbage because there is no cost. McConnell could easily threaten to return the favor by keeping the Senate in session close to holidays, scheduling votes at inconvenient times for the Dems, etc. But he won’t play hardball like that of course.
McConnell should hold key votes late in the day so the west coast scum Dims miss their flights.
LOL! You packed?
I’m leaving everything behind.
Plan on going commando!
Gotta get certain persons out of the country!
