McCaskill: Republican Hold on TSA Nominee is "Nuts"

Today on CNN Sunday morning, Sen. Claire McCaskill said it's "nuts" for Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) to hold up the confirmation of a Transportation Security Administration chief over concerns about letting employees join a union.  As noted by Politico, "DeMint has been blocking the confirmation of Erroll Southers...because he fears the nominee will let workers bargain collectively. Southers has the approval of two bipartisan committees."

It is nuts.  If Senators or members of the public have concerns about the nominee's qualifications or background, say so and oppose the nomination.  But the games need to stop.
