Commentary
It is unsure the motive of Donald Trump as to why he would nominate such a controversial figure to our nation's top law enforcement post. However, it is reassuring that even some Republicans will draw the line to inexperience and immorality when advising and consenting on cabinet level posts to lead our nation's government, even if they still refuse to refute the very leader of this government on the similar grounds - they have done the right thing here. Character counts, and the character of that nomination was certainly in question. There are still others being nominated whose character, loyalty to the nation, other than Trump, and morality are under question. Let us hope that Republicans continue to scrutinize other unworthy picks.
