CORNYN: Democrat Obstruction of Cabinet Nominees Irresponsible Embarrassing

This kind of mindless obstruction is actually irresponsible if not downright dangerous. . . . The American people expect their Senators and Congress to do our jobs and fulfill the duties to those who we represent. Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C.Today on the Senate floor U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) addressed the decision from Senate Democrats to delay and slow-walk the nominations of the Presidents choices to fill his Cabinet even though they cant stop them. Excerpts of Sen. Cornyns remarks are below and video of his remarks can be found here.
This week well continue to grind our way through consideration of President Trumps nominees despite the best efforts of our friends across the aisle to obstruct and to slow-walk. Because of their insistence on taking advantage of every possible procedural delay theyve tried to grind the Senate into a near halt. But weve overcome that obstruction and of course we came together early Friday morning and voted to move forward with the Presidents nominee for Education Secretary." So Im confident that well get Ms. Devos confirmed soon."  All they can do which is all they have done to this point is to slow the process down for no reason other than the fact that they can."  Its a strategy in search of a goal. They dont have any particular goal in mind because at the end of the day the President will get the Cabinet that he has nominated and deserves."  This kind of mindless obstruction is actually irresponsible if not downright dangerous."  It should also be an embarrassment. The American people expect their Senators and Congress to do our jobs and fulfill the duties to those who we represent."  Dragging this out doesnt do any good. It wont change the outcome. And it ill-serves the American people. Lets get these nominations done so they can be sworn-in and begin their service to this new Administration and more importantly to the American people."
