AP: Republicans “Rammed” Nominees Through Committee With “Brute Political Muscle”
6 Power Line by John Hinderaker

The Democrats are doing everything they can to impede President Trump from assembling his administration. In a particularly pathetic display, all of the Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee boycotted the meeting where the nominations of Rep. Tom Price as Secretary of Health and Human Services and of Steve Mnuchin as Treasury secretary were to be voted on. Under normal rules, the committee can’t conduct business unless at least one member of each party is present.

The Democrats’ ploy is discussed (ridiculed, really) at enemy press report the story? “GOP suspends Senate rule, muscles Trump picks through panel.”

In the latest intensification of partisan hostilities, Republicans rammed President Donald Trump’s picks to be Treasury and health secretaries through a Senate committee on Wednesday with no Democrats present after unilaterally suspending panel rules that would have otherwise prevented the vote.

The GOP’s show of brute political muscle came shortly before a testy session of the Senate Judiciary Committee at which lawmakers approved Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., to be attorney general.

And so on. Emphasis added. This is idiotic reporting. Actually, however, I think a great many readers will be pleased to see, for once, Republicans using “muscle” and brute force on anything.
