"Dems Mulling Protest Of Trump's EPA Nominee"

"Democrats are mulling a boycott of Wednesday’s nomination hearing for President Trump’s pick to lead the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee is scheduled to vote Wednesday on Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt’s nomination.

But Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.), the panel's ranking Democrat, told reporters on Tuesday that committee Democrats would be meeting to consider a boycott of the nomination, a measure Democrats took against two other Trump nominees on Tuesday morning."
