Democrats’ 24-hour talkathon against Betsy DeVos proves how little power they actually have in Washington

The Washington Post reports:

Senate Democrats’ promised talkathon is actually a sign of the relatively meager amount of power the party has these days when it comes to curtailing the president's wishes.

Here's why: Yes, Democrats can hold the floor all night and all Tuesday morning in advance of the confirmation vote on DeVos. But what they almost certainly can't do is stop her from becoming the secretary of education.

The struggles of being a minority party. Even the Washington Post has to face reality now and then.
