Republicans Boycott EPA Nominee Committee Vote
"All eight GOP members of the Senate Environment and Public Works committee failed to show up at the meeting to consider the nomination of Gina McCarthy, who currently heads the EPA's air pollution office. Committee rules require at least two minority members to be present for a vote."
"White House spokesman Jay Carney, speaking to reporters on Air Force One en route to Texas, called on Republicans 'to stop the theater and to move forward with the process.'"
"Carney said there has been "an historic level of obstructionism" on McCarthy and other nominees."
"...on Wednesday, Republicans used a procedural move to delay a Senate panel from considering the confirmation of Obama's pick to the head the Labor Department."
