Estimates of potentially more than 30 out of 54 Senate Republicans voting not to confirm him is absolutely crazy if true.
And extremely sad. I feel terrible that Trump's own party members all have TDS.
You are still not getting it.
Trump does not need the Senate to appoint Gaetz - as long as the Republican led Senate 'allows' recess appointments.
Recess appointments are Constitutionally allowed and can only be stopped if the Senate actively put in place measures to ensure the Senate has no time off at all.
Recess appointments have been used all through the history of the US.
An appointment via recess can stay in position until the end of each 2 year Senate period - so Gaetz could be installed for nearly 2 years if the appointment is made in recess.
The Senate leader, Thune, has already said he will allow Recess appointments if the Democrats try to do what they did in 2017 - slow walk all confirmations.
Gaetz could well be just the stick to make sure Democrats comply with fast confirmations and do as they are told.
Genius, really.
I rather suspect, though, that Gaetz will be appointed via recess and he will be tasked with holding to account all those people who have corrupted the justice system over the last 4 years. Much needed to restore the US judicial system to the principles of blind justice.
You need to understand that there is going to be no compromise with the loony woke TDS sufferers.
You'll get another chance to turn the world to shit in 2028, but until then, no one is listening to your crap.
