A Republican senator vowed on Wednesday to block nomination of President Barack Obama's choice for U.S. ambassador to Iraq, saying he had mismanaged talks with North Korea and ignored its human rights record.
The North Koreans "are now just as hostile and dangerous as ever," Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas told the Senate.
His opposition could make things difficult for nominee Chris Hill, because if a senator objects to a vote being held it would take 60 senators to approve his nomination, and the Democrats control only 58 seats in the Senate.
This web-log calls for the repeal of the 17th Amendment and addresses the hegemony committed by the US Senate. The first significant step to remove the domination and unmistakable corruption deriving from the National Government and the restoration of the Federal is to repeal the 17th Amendment. Americans should fear the steady hegemonic growth by the Senate oligarchy because the US Constitution cannot be spoiled by bombs, the courts, or the President, but only through malevolent legislation.
