      „Commitment“???

      Fuck off. Like any one of these assholes can be taken at their word.

      AGAIN! They’ve already broken the law why are we still here! Release the files and stop the cover-up

      The Democrats can’t stop a confirmation unless some Republicans also vote no. So it doesn’t matter. The most they can do is slow it down.

      But it’s nice to see that we’re already setting up to blame them for it. Good work.

      If they get the commitment, confirm and then the commitment isn’t met, what then?

      Better to hold it all up , the previous AG wasn’t working for the people, neither will the new one.

      There is already a court order and a law passed by this Congress to release all files so why does it matter if a new AG commits to releasing them or not?

      If the Dems win the House and make gains in the Senate they better be vicious.

      There won’t be a confirmation for this guy, he’ll just be the „acting“ AG for as long as possible.

      Trump was hoping that pushing Bondi out the door would take the Epstein drama with her (Blanche is already pushing that narrative).

      Dems and the victim-supporting GOP members need to make Epstein the central thing to any confirmation. Get the new nominee on record promising they will PERSONALLY see to it that every letter of the Epstein law is followed. Then book them in for a deposition every two week to update under oath.

      I think we’ve seen this happen enough to know they will absolutely confirm him without that commitment.

      How about no confirmation of ANY attorney general until Donald vacates the White House?

    18. gdex86 on

      Dems cant stop the confirmation of anyone. Even ignoring fetterman fettermaning. They can force this guy through on a pure party line vote with out even really waiting.

      This article sets up a goal to shame the democrats for not meeting that is impossible. But hey commondream has to show that actually its the dems fault.

      Okay he commits and says ..yeah I’m release them unredacted and then gets in office

      Huh ..what files ? We don’t have no files.

      If a new AG is nominated and the Senate holds things up by not voting, Blance can continue to serve as long as it takes so this is an empty threat.

      trump has enough former lawyers to just keep appointing „acting“ AGs until the end of his term. No confirmations needed!

    27. TheDonnARK on

      Yeah we’ll see about that. My guess is they’re going to do a bunch of questioning that they believe is very media friendly and will be seen as hard-nosed and all these other awesome action words, and then fucking confirm him without conflict.

      Any “commitment” from someone in Trump’s cabinet means absolutely nothing. Acting AG Blanche has already made his viewpoints clear on the Epstein files and you can expect more of the same from whomever will be the new principle.

    29. mvolley on

      “Commitment” refers to what should happen to people who believe the nominee will tell the truth in confirmation hearings. They should be committed for living in the past rather than in the current reality, where the administration prefers to lie while it ignores norms and morality.

    30. chowderbags on

      Does a „commitment“ even matter? They can just turn around and not do it once they’re confirmed. It’s not like there’s some actual contract that can be signed.

    31. AnonAmbientLight on

      Y’all need to be mindful here.

      You only need 51+ votes in the Senate to confirm a new AG nominee.

      Democrats cannot filibuster or stop that from happening. The problem I’ve seen lately with sites like CommonDreams and indeed some Democrat politicians, is that they’ll tell people something but crucial information is then left out (not always on purpose).

      What this does is confuse and enrage people. You’ll read the headline, and the headline assumes that the new AG could potentially be blocked and that is 100% not possible.

      And in the article, they briefly mention that the process can be „slowed“ but they do not specifically mention that it ***cannot be stopped***.

      The end result is people becoming upset at ***Democrats*** for doing something they couldn’t have stopped to begin with.

      Calling out Senate Democrats, who don’t have the votes to block confirmations, and pulling attention away from Senate Republicans, who are actually in charge of this process, tells you everything you need to know about „the grassroots group Our Revolution“.

    34. Electronic_Wait_7249 on

      Not good enough. You know they’ll lie.

      No confirmations whatsoever until after release.

      If you don’t make Trump pay up front, he’ll stiff you.
