Democrats 'draw a line in the sand' over Trump's E.P.A. nominee | 08 Dec 2016 | Democrats, progressives, and Trump unenthusiasts had girded themselves to be outraged by the candidates Donald Trump would choose to fill his Cabinet, and, so far, his nominees have not disappointed. A retired neurosurgeon who has likened anti-segregation efforts to communist oppression will be in charge of Housing and Urban Development. A former Goldman Sachs banker will lead the Treasury Department. A billionaire who wants to dismantle the public-school system has been nominated as Secretary of Education. And most recently, wrestling executive and longtime Trump supporter Linda McMahon was rewarded with the Small Business Administration. But the announcement that Scott Pruitt would head up the Environmental Protection Administration–an agency that the Oklahoma attorney general has spent most of his career attempting to destroy—has rightly touched the rawest nerve, setting off what could be a drawn-out and contentious Senate confirmation fight as Democrats vow to oppose his appointment.
