Cabinet choices will make for interesting hearings

Make no mistake, as it stands right now Obama's choices for his cabinet will be confirmed. The Democrats hold a large enough advantage in the Senate that even if one or two break ranks they will still have plenty of room for confirmation. That does not mean though the hearings will not be lively, interesting and in some cases messy.

Janet Napolitano appears to be the choice for Homeland Security Secretary and with her comes the past baggage of the Anita Hill Sexual Harrassment matter which was orchastrated by Democrats in an attempt to keep Clarence Thomas from his Supreme Court Appointment.

We have already discussed Eric Holder and Bill Richardsons involvement in the Monica Lewinsky matter may come up as well.

I do strongly suggest the Republicans tread carefully with these issues. If there is clear and convincing evidence that wrongdoing was involved, fine use it; otherwise, leave it alone. Right now the Republicans have a great opportunity to show that they are willing to fight on important issues and will be as the Democrats were for the past upteen years, obstructionists with no agenda of their own.

If the Republicans want to challenge a bill, policy fine....do so, but offer something in return. If you want to attack an appointment make sure you have your ducks in order and they are lined up bill to tail, anything less is well just show and we have endured enough show already.
