Focus on Trump, not Gorsuch: His presidency should be legitimized before vote on his SCOTUS pick (Salon)

Don't get caught up in the predictable brawl over Donald Trump's Supreme Court pick Neil Gorsuch's credentials or his ideology. That normalizes the Trump presidency.

Instead, there should be no vote on Gorsuch's nomination until Trump's legitimacy as a president is established. Which means the Senate intelligence committee and the FBI must first conclude that Russian operatives were not responsible for Trump's electoral victory, and Trump must reveal his taxes and put his assets into a blind trust ...

Elizabeth Warren Completely Stumps HUD Nominee Ben Carson with One Simple Ethics Question | Alternet

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) questioned Donald Trump's HUD nominee Ben Carson on the third day of confirmation hearings and drew attention to a likely conflict of interest affecting them both. 

Warren began by reminding Carson of the billions of dollars for housing development he would oversee as head of Department of Housing and Urban Development. The federal agency exists to improve and develop low-income housing, in addition to providing mortgage insurance and rental subsidies to their residents.

"Now, housing development is an area in which President-elect Trump and his family have significant business interests. Can you assure me that not a single taxpayer dollar that you give out will financially benefit the President-elect or his family?" Warren asked....
