http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2013/02/04/mcconnell-senate-gop-could-filibuster-hagel/
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Saturday that theres a chance Republicans will filibuster former Nebraska senator Chuck Hagels nomination as secretary of defense.
Sen. Hagel did not do a very good job before the Armed Services committee, McConnell told Kentucky reporters. (Hagel struggled in the Senate committee hearing, appearing unprepared for aggressive questions about Iran, Israel and nuclear weapons.) I think the opposition to him is intensifying. Whether that means he will end up having to achieve 60 votes or 51 is not clear yet. McConnell did not say how he planned to vote.
A filibuster against Hagel would be unprecedented. A Cabinet nominee has never been defeated by filibuster, although nominees have been voted down by a majority (John Tower was the first in three decades) or pulled over scandal or opposition (Tom Daschle, Bernard Kerik).....
If the GOP filabusters Hagel does that mean we get a Democrat as SecDef? and who?

When did this become The Puritan Underground.com?
I would expect all this Beyonce sexy outfit bashing at conservative websites but not here.
I thought we were more accepting of people and their choices in this community.
Just shocked we have so many who want to fight the "sins of the modern world" here.
This feels more like an argument for foxnews or one the freepers would rail about IMHO.
