People in KKK robes and Code Pink people keep protesting inside the room and interrupting the hearing.

I hate to be "that guy," but has anyone questioned Sessions about pot yet?

If Rubio is a No, isn't Tillerson dead in committee?

Rubio is hinting he'll vote no on Tillerson on CNN

I don't see how this gets out of committee if that's the case.

The plot thickens...

Wonder who The Donald's backup would be?

Corker?

The worst would be Romney. I oppose Tillerson for his excessive Russophobia. Rohrabacher, who truly understands Putin and has a solid grasp of foreign affairs, would be best.

Oh God kill me now.

I guess Russia isn't a threat anymore. What a joke move by McCain. Rubio might even have more of a spine than him on this one (though maybe not, we'll see).

A separate vote on Tillerson for confirmation by the Senate appears likely to take place later in the week.

Committee votes are planned for today for Sessions, Perry, Zinke, Price, Mnuchin, and DeVos, as well as a full Senate floor vote for Chao (who may get unanimous support).

Anyone who thinks that delaying any Trump nominee will harm Democrats in 2018 hasn't been paying attention.

Deb Fischer confirmed she will vote for DeVos. Looks like Pence is going to break the tie.

I saw something about Tom Thillis being undecided on DeVos, not sure if that's still the case.
