2013 Senate Democrats Just Confirmed Betsy DeVos And Will Confirm Jeff Sessions And All Of Trump’s Cabinet Nominees

Senate Democrats, in 2013, stripped 2016 Democrats of all power to oppose Donald Trump and effectively confirmed his entire slate of Cabinet nominees. .


Drunk with “Majority Power” Democrats, on November 21, 2013 “nuked” the Senate filibuster for 1,183 Executive Branch appointees including Cabinet Secretaries and District and Circuit Court Judges, allowing confirmations to happen with only 51, rather than 60 votes.

Law of unintended consequences? 2013 Repubs was like, you wanna give the majority party more power? We cool wit dat. No bigs.....

That was exactly the reason they did it. However they could have sent the noms back to BO for replacements. They chose not to and instead chose to flex their muscle and show the minority party a thing or two. Let see how that works out for them in today's world.
