Joe .... you may want to read the Constitution, bud. The right to appoint a Cabinet member is given to the president, with the advice & consent of the Senate.
The Democrats today are doing absolutely nothing that the Republicans haven't done when the situation is reversed.
The party in power ALWAYS whines about obstructionism when the other side raises objections to their nominee. Look at the situation with judges - by the beginning of Clinton's second term there were dozens of judicial vacancies that the Senate could not hold confirmation hearing on. Today the Republicans are whining about 8.

Don't get me started on judges. Republicans repeatedly didn't even give Clinton appointees COMMITTEE hearings much less votes. helene White was held up for 4 years and never got a vote in committee. Repubs are lying sacks of shit when it comes to judicial appointments.
