As it turns out, the only qualification necessary to play in the sandbox of Trump's next administration is unwavering loyalty. The Senate rarely denies presidential appointments of their administration, but we're about to see just how in-Trump's-pocket the Senate is. This is their first test. If they confirm some of the most dangerous administration nominations in history, Trump will know that they'll do anything for him. He's even requested they simply step aside, to give up their authority to check executive power by taking a recess, allowing him to push all of his nominations through completely unchecked. On a rare positive note: every single Senator would have to vote to recess.. There's no way, right? ... Right??
