WASHINGTON (AP) — Their power ebbing, Senate Democrats launched a last-minute drive Saturday to confirm roughly 20 of President Barack Obama's nominees, and several Republicans blamed tea party-backed Texas Sen. Ted Cruz for creating an opening for the outgoing majority party to exploit.
I would imagine that the positions will be those that give the Dems majority status on labor and commerce commissions and those courts that would enable the pres's ACA and EO positions.
