The confirmation of US Attorney Michael J. Sullivan as head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE) was thrown into further doubt Wednesday, when a republican senator who is blocking the nomination renewed complaints that Sullivan has refused to loosen licensing rules for guns.
" 'I recently received his answers to those questions, and I was disappointed in his responses, so I am going to continue to hold this nominee,' Vitter said in a statement released to the (Boston) Globe. 'The nominee seems to support the ATF's current inadequate policies and exhibits a lack of willingness to address these problems.' "
Gridlock is good.
