Take a lesson from the hold on Ed Martin. Do more! No more unanimous consent

To: Sen. King

From: A verified voter in Lewiston, ME

May 8

Please take a lesson from Adam Schiff's hold on Ed Martin. The new evidence that made Martin inappointable came out during the hold. The credentials, previous experience and personal character of Trump's nominees so far has been an affront to decency. It's time for the senate to stop rubber stamping these characters. NO MORE UNANIMOUS CONSENT. Please, a hold on every nominee while you do proper investigation. Stop rubber stamping nominees who are intent on dismantling their agencies. Advise and consent means ADVISE and consent not consent without appropriate scrutiny. I am counting on you to hold up higher standards for all appointments than the senate has hitherto. Please also rectify the senate's confirmation of Hegseth, Bondi, and RFK jr. All have done things that make them more eligible for impeachment than public service.
