Bolton confirmation delay

Link
The Senate again showed its wisdom by not voting for cloture and thereby continuing debate on the Bolton nomination. Senator Joe Biden of Delaware and Christopher Dodd of Connecticut are demanding that they be able to view what they perceive as pertinent documents from the Administration. Senator Frist of Tennessee seriously tried unsuccessfully to get the Administration to release the documents, according to Senator Biden. He gave credit to Senator Frist for his efforts from the Seante floor after the vote was taken and said he was wanting to vote on Bolton and will as soon as he gets the documents he has requested. I don't know the merits of seeing these particular documents, but based upon the reported facts, that many staffers of Bolton had seen the documents on intercepts, it does not appear to be just stalling by these 2 senators to at least see these documents in their oversite capacity. I am concluding that there must be damaging information to the Bolton nomination, if these documents were released. Where there is smoke there is fire. I think this must be an embarrasement to the Administration on their foreign relations policy with respect to Syria, Iraq and Cuba or they would be released. Senator Frist is framing this vote as another stall tactic and feels like a filibuster. Senator Frist, take off the Filibuster glasses you are wearing. The are clouding your judgment. You will continue to see every time you don't get what you want as a filibuster, instead of the normal process of governing in a democracy, where minority rights are protected and valued.
