Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of Homeland Security appears to be nothing but a cowardly surrender monkey.

Yes, he has promised to cave on the practice of using administrative warrants to arrest criminal illegal aliens and is promising to spend years waiting for the courts to issue ICE the warrants they need to pick up these criminals.

Mullin said:

"I have made it very clear to the staff,” Mullin said, "that a judicial warrant will be used to go into houses or to place of businesses unless we are pursuing someone who enters into that place. I have not minced words with that and I haven’t changed my opinion on that.”

The use of administrative warrants has always been acceptable until Obama upped the ante and made a judicial warrant a requirement. The judiciary is already backlogged and getting such a warrant is going to be nigh unto impossible, at least in a timely fashion. The Democrats know this which is why they are demanding it. And Mullin plans to neuter the whole deportation program.

Now I hope he doesn't get approved.

Needless to say this won't satisfy the Democrats who say they will continue to block funding. You can't negotiate with them; they have to be deeated.

Mullin apparently didn't understand that. Or he did and knew they would reject the deal still, so figured he could at least score some political points.

But I don't like it. If they succeed at this they will only try it again, and demand more. Thune should just end the filibuster and do so now. But he won't and the Democrats will continue to hold the American People hostage.

If Mullin doesn't understand this then he's not the man for the job.

BTW I still can't find any polls that ask who is to blame for this. That tells me that the public probably blames Democrats; the polling companies won't do those kinds of polls when it's bad news for the Dems because they don't want to pressure them to surrender. If the GOP was being blamed we would have polls out that would be front-page news.
