More of your mis-statements?"Blocking such a high-level presidential appointee is a rare move. Since 1917, when the Senate’s modern filibuster rules were created, a cabinet-level nominee has faced a supermajority barrier to confirmation only twice: Ronald Reagan’s nominee for commerce secretary in 1987, C. William Verity Jr., and George W. Bush’s nominee for interior secretary in 2006, Dirk Kempthorne. http://justoneminute.typepad.com/main/2013/02/on-the-island-with-media-matters-it-depends-on-the-meaning-of-this-way.html Now do you want to post anything to support your argument? |
