(CNN) - The Senate will move forward in confirming President Barack Obama’s nominee to become defense secretary this week, a leading Republican who opposes Chuck Hagel’s elevation to the role said Sunday.

“I don’t believe Chuck Hagel, who is a friend of mine, is qualified to be secretary of defense. But I do believe that elections have consequences, unfortunately, and the president of the United States was re-elected,” Sen. John McCain said on “State of the Union.”

The Senate will vote again Tuesday on whether to end a Republican filibuster of Hagel’s nomination. Two weeks ago, a similar attempt fell short of the 60 votes needed to end the debate. Many GOP lawmakers and aides expect Hagel to be confirmed, although with just a handful of GOP votes.

I wouldn't expect any less of a traitorous act from McChurian. He's been going "Sig Heil" to TPTB for a long time.

I have the assumption that

were McChurian truly patriotic

and

were he as powerful and influential as he purports to be

he could stop it.

Of course, none of that is true and the Senate has been compromised for decades against the best interests of the People of the US of A.
