"Consult Sen. Feinstein? Why, that's the old Washington way: horse-trading, backroom deals. Hasn't the Veep-elect heard that change has come to America?"
So, in your mind, anything done in the past should be thrown out and done differently regardless of whether it serves a valid purpose?
No, Senator Feinstein is an influential senator and chairman of the committee that will hold the hearings on Panetta's nomination.
You sound like Bush and Cheney. Their argument was that the Senate can only vote down a nominee if the nominee doesn't meet the minimum constitutional requirements.
The constitution says the senate will advise and consent. If Obama is serious about getting his nominees through, he will run them past the chairman and the ranking member of the appropriate committees. Even if they don't approve, Obama can still nominate them.
As I've said before, it's common-sense, common-courtesy, and tradition.
Consult Sen. Feinstein? Why, that's the old Washington way: horse-trading, backroom deals. Hasn't the Veep-elect heard that change has come to America?
Leave Pres. Obama alone in staffing his administration. His job is not to please anybody, least of all Sen. Feinstein. His job is to get things done and please the American people.
She's nothing but a DINO anyway, plus, she should be held partly responsible for the 'ILEGAL" actions she allowed to be perpertrated as a member of the Intelligence Committee.
Her hands aren't clean either, the question is only: To what degree?
It wasn't her pick to make! Nor is she in the transaction team, so why does she get a say/
Did you mean "transition team, not transaction team? I don't think Obama transacts appointments. That's the forte of Blagojevich.
