enough about our Nation's defense. STOP and think. It's bigger than giving in to his agenda. You are doing our enemy's bidding. We all will be left vulnerable and you will be one of 100 votes that could have stopped this madness. It's self preservation and you know it. You were so concerned when the previous Secretary was laid up in the hospital having life saving surgery but you're not concerned about this nominee being incommunicado due to an alcoholic induced sex party bender? Are you kidding? You're positions in the Senate at this time are the most important things you will ever do in your lives and you want to abdicate your responsibility to a childish tyrant.
