Dems Vow Roll Call Vote On TSA Nominee Delayed By Sen. Jim DeMint
By Christina Bellantoni
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will schedule a formal Senate roll
call vote on the nomination of Errol Southers to be administrator of
the Transportation Security Administration as soon as Congress return
from break.
Reid spokesman Jim Manley told TPMDC that Reid will file a cloture
motion as soon as the Senate reconvenes the week of Jan. 19.
He said it's a necessary step to overcome Sen. Jim DeMint's hold on
the nomination.
"In light of recent incidents TSA deserves to have its leadership in
place," Manley said.
"It is long past time for Senator DeMint to stop trying to score cheap
political points."
Confirmations rarely are subject to roll call votes - several passed
the Senate by unanimous consent the day they adjourned.
Democrats are furious that DeMint (R-SC) blocked the confirmation over
a question of whether Southers would allow collective bargaining for
TSA screeners.
They believe that if Democrats had delayed a national security nominee
under a Republican president, their party would be excoriated.
Democrats also compared the move to the Republicans blocking funding
for troops for political purposes.
........................................................................................................................................
Even Republicans who oppose the nomination believe Southers would be
confirmed, and sources tell TPMDC he is highly qualified on
counterterrorism issues and would have been useful had he been in
place before the Christmas terror attempt.
Manley called DeMint "disgraceful."
Southers, nominated in September, passed out of two committees this
fall.
A spokeswoman for Sen. Joe Lieberman's Homeland Security and
Government Affairs Committee, which approved the nomination in
November, said today that Lieberman believes the hold is "contrary to
the public interest."
"The head of TSA is a key player in the government's efforts to
safeguard the American people from terrorism," said the committee
spokeswoman Leslie Phillips.
...................................................................................................................
DeMint won't lift his hold, a Senate aide told TPMDC earlier today.
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) told his colleagues Dec. 22
that it was "irresponsible" the Southers nomination was being held.
"Unfortunately, without Chief Southers in the position he has been
nominated to, TSA is without the leadership necessary to move
forward," Durbin said on the Senate floor.
"At the same time Senate Republicans are insisting on expanding the
role and responsibility of TSA by requiring guns to be allowed on
Amtrak, they block and delay the permanent leadership necessary to
implement these new policies."
He added, "In the midst of the heaviest travel period of the year, it
is irresponsible that the Senate has left this post unfilled."
