In the aftermath of the Paris terrorist attacks, Senate Democrats on Wednesday criticized Republicans for blocking national security nominees who would help fight terrorism and track Islamic State militants.
The delay on one of those nominees is particularly puzzling. Adam Szubin, who has bipartisan support, has been waiting more than 200 days to be confirmed as the Treasury Departments under secretary for terrorism and financial crimes. The job involves tracking terrorists to prevent them from raising money on the black market and elsewhere.
Szubins nomination got a hearing before the Senate Banking Committee on Sept. 17, and Chairman Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) praised his past work in countering terrorist financing during his time with both Republican and Democratic administrations. He is eminently qualified for this, Shelby said at the time.
But Szubins nomination hasnt moved since. Theres no clear reason why, beyond trying to make it difficult for President Barack Obama to fill administration posts.
somebody should be talking about this all the time. WTF are they thinking? how do the stalling ISIS enablers in the senate get away with this? again, WTF??????????
