Today during a press conference, U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) discussed the decision by Senate Democrats to deliberately slow-walk the President's Cabinet nominees, including the Attorney General. Excerpts of Sen. Cornyn's remarks are below, and video of his remarks can be found here.
"What I find particularly egregious is the fact that Democrats have slowed down and slow-walked and obstructed the nomination or confirmation of one of the President's national security Cabinet members, and that would be Senator Jeff Sessions, his Attorney General."
"The fact that they've drug this out and made it impossible for the Department of Justice, an important part of our national security team, to remain without a leader is completely inexcusable."
"The last thing I would say is they know how this story ends. They know we're going to be successful. So stunts like staying up all night and making speeches, I'm not sure who they're trying to impress other than their dysfunctional base by stopping and slowing down these confirmations, which will be successful eventually."
