Why the ‘secret ballot’ B.S. for Senate leader?

[BrokeLoser]

Shouldn’t we the people know which senators we should hold accountable for their vote?
This seems like some backwards shit with no transparency.

Thune wins secret ballot to become new Senate GOP leader, succeeding McConnell

After receiving a majority of conference votes, the newly selected leader will assume the role in January.

The swamp needs to be drained. I am sure there will be a leak of who voted for who?

Meh....You get to vote for who is in the club. They get to decide who their leader is how ever they want.

Changing that would require amending the Constitution.

No, all you have to do in two years, is vote those assholes out and put MAGA in their place. Establishment morons will never learn.

I don't know much about Thune, maybe he will work out nicely, but I suspect the reason for the secret ballot is because Washington is a buddy-buddy system and the secrecy keeps everyone from knowing who Thune's buddies are who voted him in and who expects to have their palms greased in return.

Everything in DC is slime, no wonder Melania doesn't want to spend another four solid years living there in that shitty weather.

First, you don't know who they are, and second, even if you did, you'd forget who they are in two years.

Senators serve 6 year terms shit for brains. And they will all still be in office when Trump is gone.

The Constitution, as was pointed out, gives the Senate the right to make its own rules. You MAGA losers don't get a say in the matter.

I'm not sure but I don't even think the CCP use secret ballots when they choose their national leader.

So you oppose secret ballots when voting for president? The whole purpose is to avoid bad feelings and recriminations.

Apples and Oranges kid…Senators are our employees, they deserve no right to operate in secrecy. Total transparency is real democracy.

We will for the senate confirmation votes for Trumps picks.

Those votes are NOT secret!

If there is any chance for freedom, what starts in January is the last one. We saw what Joe's hatchet people did to civilians. The almighty Party rules. We see who they throw under the bus if not needed anymore.

Biden uses a hatchet to people he doesn't agree with? Oh, noes!!!!

I agree...but we'll find out soon enough.

Confirmation votes ain't far away.

No, the Senate rules its own. Not Trump, not us. Our vote for Senator ends our responsbility.

Constitutional? Traditional? Why is it a question asked only during a (pending) republican administration?
