Senate Republicans may finally have had enough of unprecedented Democratic obstructionism. The Democrats have required a lengthy process of cloture and final passage votes for every single nominee, grinding the Senate to a halt and keeping hundreds of qualified nominees from getting on the job now well into Trump’s term.
If Democrats don’t relent and let Trump get his team on the job, Senate Republicans should change the rules to limit the hours of debate and allow multiple nominees to be approved together. Trump deserves to have his team in place.
