Thanks for your intelligent, comprehensive, relevant and above all "civil" comment.

It is the kind and quality of comment the left here is famous for and explains why lefties now dominate the conversations here.

While Ms. Nielsen is no Maryam Monsef or Bardisah Chaggar, she is superbly qualified for this highly technical cabinet position.

If she were an Obama or Clinton appointment, the lefties here would be saluting the decision as a welcome selection of a highly qualified woman to a high profile and important government position.
