"These nominations are confirmation of Trump’s authoritarian intent, of his desire to rule by fiat and act as a king. They are early evidence that he is exactly what his critics have said he is. They are a sign that he will, in fact, be a dictator on “day one.”
"Confirmation is a test for Republicans... If Republicans say yes to this group—or allow Trump his recess appointments neutering the Senate’s constitutional right to give advice & consent—they’ll say yes to anything"
