Senate Democrats reject justice department nominee Debo Adegbile

Disgusting. How dare the head of the DOJ civil right's division have spent his career defending peoples' civil rights!

They voted to filibuster their own party's nominee because the nominee did his job and got a client spared from the death penalty? Time for some primary challenges to these DINOs. Especially to Casey and Coons, who are from blue states.

Basically both of these comments are 100% correct. Especially the bit about challenging the Delaware Senators. Corporatism is strong in DE, and must be challenged.

The real problem is that he defended people's civil rights while black.

We all read the article so maybe it would be best for people to explain why political grandstanding by the Senate Majority Leader is going to make the senate work more expediently for the American people

...Is that you, Mitch McConnell?

No but seriously, it's very simple, Reid wants the option to bring this guy up for a vote again, so he voted no, which means by the odd rules of the Senate he can bring this nomination up for a vote again, where normally he could not. Whenever you see a Reid "nay" vote, that's what he's doing. McConnell would be doing the same thing, and Bill Frist also did the same thing.
