Guess which major nation doesn't have a Secretary of State today?

The petulance of these people... a one day delay imposed for no reason other than because he can. (Anyone wondering why Cornyn would do this--he will be a hero with a small but wealthy and influential set of uber-wingnuts.)

Roadblock Thrown In Way Of Clinton's Confirmation
Single Senator's Objection To Block Unanimous Floor Vote

A spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says Hillary Rodham Clinton will not be confirmed as secretary of state Tuesday because of a single senator's objection.

Reid spokesman Jim Manley said Republican John Cornyn of Texas has indicated he will block a move to confirm Clinton by a unanimous floor vote later in the day.

But Manley also said there would be a roll call vote Wednesday. And he predicted that "she will receive overwhelming bipartisan support" at that time.
The Senate does plan to confirm several of President-elect Barack Obama's Cabinet by unanimous vote later Tuesday.

Neither Cornyn nor his office was immediately available for comment.

1. He's setting up for his own Presidential run in 2012.

Symbolic, meaningless gestures hold a lot of weight with stupid Freepers.

2. Don't worry, Biden is more than capable of picking up the slack for Hillary
