Democrats initially said they were going to influence the lukewarmers to vote the nomination down, but hey...when's the last time Democrats ever relied on democracy to get something done? That's funny.
So what was the next logical step? Block Bolton's nomination:
Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer "put a hold on the nomination" of Bolton as US ambassador to the United Nations, her spokeswoman Natalie Ravitz said without indicating how the process could be delayed.
The move is intended to either force further negotiations or ultimately to prevent his nomination from reaching the Senate floor.
I honestly think the Democrats won't be satisfied until they're down to possibly 38 votes in the Senate. Maybe then they'll finally take the hint and will stop trying to play political games with the American people.
There is absolutely no reason to block Bolton's nomination. They wanted to kill it in committee. They couldn't. So now they're trying to do everything they can to shut it down before there is a honest floor vote. And then they wonder why the Republicans are determined to change Senate rules?
The Democrats have no ideas, no solutions, no nothing. They are nothing more than the party of obstruction.
