(From yesterday's "Democracy Now&quot
"Senate Hearings Begin for Wealthiest U.S. Cabinet in History Despite Lack of Vetting"

AMY GOODMAN
"In 2008, Senator McConnell insisted that all of Obama's Cabinet appointments be fully vetted before their hearings.
But speaking to 'Face the Nation' (1/8/2017), this is what Senate Majority Leader McConnell had to say about Democrats who have been urging similar checks on Trump's Cabinet nominees:"

SENATOR MITCH McCONNELL:
"All these little procedural complaints are related to their frustration at having not only lost the White House, but having lost the Senate.
I understand that...But we need to sort of grow up here and get past that."
