Reply #12: So rather than standing up in opposition, she would rather kneel in submission.

Great, just fucking great. Would Bush have had an acting AG, sure, he also would have done recess appointments. But by forcing him to take those actions, you would have given a loud voice to the country that opposition is alive and well in the halls of Congress, and your hands would be clean. However the message that you send with your vote to approve is that there is no opposition in Congress, that the Democrats are neutered, stifled, whimpering little yes critters that actively aid and abet this criminal administration. Diane, by your actions you are approving every single criminal act that comes out of the Dept. of Justice from here on out.

It is past time for the Dems to stop cowering in a corner. They have the people behind them, they have the power they need, it is time for them to do either one of two things, stand up and fight, or get the hell out of the way and let the people of this country take their government and country back from a gang of thieves and murderers.
