Scott demolishes Omarova: It’s not personal, it’s business HotAir
However, as Scott makes clear, Omarova s long record on hostility toward the US banking system and capitalism in general is much more disqualifying for this position. Scott didn t have time to get to the point I raised earlier, although he brought up the same structural concern via other public Omarova statements:
One has to wonder how many other Senate Democrats want to sign up for a plan that would cut Congress out the loop on spending decisions by enabling the executive branch to gather its own funding by seizing private capital. This is a recipe for an authoritarian state, not a federal representative republic.
That s entirely the thrust of Omarova s public philosophy, as Scott detailed through her own words. The question isn t whether an old peccadillo should sideline Omarova, but why Joe Biden ever nominated her in the first place. Forget the criminal-history vetting did anyone at the White House bother to read through Omarova s writings before nominating her for this position? Especially with a 50/50 split in the Senate?
