No ... actually Republicans BLOCKED or Filibustered a Cabinet nominee. Which is great news for those who care about the Vetting process. Hagel did not provide the necessary paperwork on past statements and his Foreign connections to companies. Plus until Republicans like Lindsay Graham get real answers as to Benghazi as promised { especially who crafted talking pts. to pass on to Susan Rice FIVE days after the fact } than more blocking will occur. No more Democrat shenanigans.The Country went thru that with the Non-vetting of Obama.Virtually all things of a pertinent nature were deemed OFF LIMITS. Plus John Bolten was treated far worse by Democrats than this Hagel hack.
This will come up again when the Senate returns from the President's day recess. It ain't over by a long shot. Since Reid changed his vote to no, he is allowed to bring this up again, and he will.
So is this all the GOP is boiled down to at this point - folding arms and holding breath, trying to block doorways? Wouldn't their energy be better spent working on rebuilding the GOP?
