Senate FINALLY taking action against Democrat's obstructionism on nominees
It took long enough.

Limits the debate on nominees who have already cleared some procedural hurdles.

"...The Trump administration has had 300 nominations confirmed by the Senate, with an additional 177 currently working their way through the upper chamber's pipeline, according to a tracker by The Washington Post and the Partnership for Public Service.
That lags behind President Barack Obama, who had 418 nominations confirmed by the Senate at the same time, while President George W. Bush had 493 and President Bill Clinton had 471.
Trump's nominations are also taking longer to clear the Senate. His picks take, on average, 72 days to confirm, while Obama's nominees waited 51 days, Bush's 36 and Clinton's 38...."

RE: Senate FINALLY taking action against Democrat's obstructionism on nominees
I'll be honest here. I hate it when BOTH sides do this.

Granted, there are some nominations put forth by anyone in the office that are skeptical and deserve more scrutiny but to just blockade the system with BS congressional rules is a disservice to the American people. Any congressman/woman that takes part should be fined. Start messing with their paycheck and MAYBE they'll start listening to the people that actually put them there.
