Heh. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) becomes the latest Republican victim of the Trump administration's bait and switch:
Sucker! Don't you know you can't depend on what this bunch of clowns promised you yesterday, or even told you this morning?
Ask Susan Collins.
And sadly, I predict Gardner will soon fall into line, mumbling some excuse for the ones that tricked him, just like Collins did. Individual Republicans (and the promises made to them) must never stand in the way of satisfying the right-wing Trumpian impulse du jour.
“I will be putting today a hold on every single nomination from the Department of Justice until Attorney General Jeff Sessions lives up to the commitment that he made to me in my pre-confirmation meeting with him, the conversation we had, that was specifically about this issue of states’ rights in Colorado,” the senator said.
Gardner’s efforts to hold up nominations would continue until an Obama-era policy, the Cole Memorandum, is reinstated, he said. The Cole Memorandum stated that federal prosecutors would practice a hands-off approach when it came to state marijuana laws, accommodating a wave of pro-marijuana legislation at the state and local level.
Sessions nixed the Cole Memorandum Thursday...
