Transgender woman Rachel Levine has been approved 52-48 as Assistant Secretary of Health. Shelby and Tuberville voted in favor. (Just kidding. It was Collins and Murkowski).

I don’t really care as I doubt my life will change over this. But watching people freak out over it makes it worth it.

So far, I don't recall either of my Tennessee senators voting for a single Biden nominee. It's been all nay or not voting.

I'm so proud of these upstanding Americans.

I'm so proud of these upstanding Americans.

A quick scroll showed they both supported the Agriculture Secretary and I think Defense. Haggerty supported one or two Blackburn opposed.

Josh Hawley of Utah is the only one with a perfect record of voting against the nominations. I think the only opposition from a non-Republican was Sanders voting against the Ag Secretary.

I hope people are finding the information about the vote totals and who was opposed interesting. It takes some digging to get the information but I think I have everyone so far, at least for the secretaries.

It is appreciated.
It doesn’t take me long to find my guys Scott and Rubio on each list.

Racist Scandal Lurks In Background Of Cornyn Obstruction Of Gupta Nomination To DOJ

For those who did not view a story on Rachel Maddow last night regarding John Cornyn's active opposition to Vanita Gupta's nomination it is worth a view. One of the most grievous abuses of our judicial system in Tulia, Texas that Cornyn supported and celebrated as then Attorney General of Texas.
