democrats have opposed the pruitt nomination for epa since day one. yesterday it became a race against the clock because a federal judge late in the day ordered scott pruitt to start turning over a bunch of documents. a federal judge yesterday in oklahoma ordered scott pruitt to start turning over thousands of pages of correspondence between his office and oil and gas companies from the time when he s been attorney general of oklaho oklahoma. that court order came down yesterday, less than 24 hours before the senate was scheduled to vote on him to be the head of the epa. because of that, senate democrats tried to postpo postp confirmation vote until everybody can look at the documents the court has just ordered to be disclosed. wait until everybody can look and see what scott pruitt said to the oil and gas companies that he s been illegally trying to keep secret for two years. can t we just wait until we see those documents since they re about to come out? senate republicans said no.
