That has to be the most politically ignorant concept of the year.  When you have the nastiness of Schumer, et al,  doing the very thing they would like to pin on the Russians,  totally bolloxing our Federal Government and Executive Branch by filibuster,  you need to find another solution.  And,  if this is the way of Congress,  hope like hell you don't get a Democrat for President, because turnabout is FairPlay,  and gridlock is then our democracy.  If it were me,  and I had to live out this current deal,  a Democrat appointment would never happen if I were a Republican Senator.  Never.
