Trump's pick to head the CIA is Mike Pompeo, a troll who is open to bringing back legal torture. Rand Paul is the only Republican to vote against him. Thank you, Rand Paul. Below is a list of Democrats who voted to confirm Pompeo.
Joe Donnelly of Indiana
Dianne Feinstein of California
Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire
Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota
Tim Kaine of Virginia
Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota
Joe Manchin of West Virginia
Claire McCaskill of Missouri
Jack Reed of Rhode Island
Brian Schatz of Hawaii
Chuck Schumer of New York
Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire
Mark Warner of Virginia
Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island
This was a test of whether the Senate Democrats led by Schumer will function as a united opposition to the barbarism of Trump. The answer is that the Senate Democrats are not united and will do little. If you oppose torture, you have no major party in the Senate to support you.
