Hard to say if it's hysteria or not but there's rumors that Mitchell plans on treating the cabinet like he did the Supreme Court.

The constitution says that the President appoints Cabinet and Supreme Court members with the Senate whose role is to advise and consent to the Presidential appointments. Historically this has meant that the Senate goes along with whoever the President nominates. Rare exceptions had been bipartisan - for example Bork was rejected on the Supreme Court and Bolton for UN Ambassador by both R's and D's. Mitch started spiking Obama nominees by refusing to hold votes to confirm them. Now he's explained his hypocrisy on Kavanaugh by saying that if the opposite party holds the Senate then they don't have to appoint Justices - it wasn't about the timing of the election. So, yeah it seems plausible that he would just refuse to consent to a bunch of Biden Cabinet nominees. Very legal. Very cool.

So basically Biden’s getting **** all done? I guess getting rid of Trump and having him cry like a baby is a good consolation prize.

Trump said Biden was going to be Secretary of Labor to try to scare people but I think the net effect was to increase progressive turnout.

Yes. He spoke tonight about a great injustice occurring in his alternate reality.

The dissenting Senators were from RI, OR, PA, VA, CT, and VT.

How did those states go for this election?

Ginsberg could have easily stepped down during BO's administration.

Hahahaha, if you want to apply that standard then you'd get a lot more nay votes by counting the votes of senators from states that went for Trump this election than you would get by counting nay votes of Republicans at the time.

I am making the point that what the Senate did to Bork resulted in Barrett.
