Yeah, I hate doing this, but Senator Schumer is right about carefully vetting all of Trumps nominees.
That is his role as the loyal opposition.
And some of Trumps nominees are very wealthy people with little track record in the public eye.
I dont want to put some idiot into office that has some hidden agenda to destroy Social Security or Medicaid, etc.
I know that some of Schumers motivation (probably around 98% of it) is purely partisan, but is OK as the adversarial role of the loyal opposition is supposed to grind the flour finely for all our good.
I understand the desire of Republicans to hurry the Democrats along, but lets not try to make Schumer into some martyr for the cause.
Lets nail him if he does cross the line legitimately in all truth.
But otherwise, vetting these nominees is his JOB.
