Senate Republicans block Hagel nomination â€“ for now

Senate Republicans on Thursday blocked -- for now -- Chuck Hagel's nomination to lead the Pentagon, marking the first time the chamber has successfully filibustered a Cabinet nominee.

Now, do I like seeing "Chuckie's back!" Being from Nebraska no, but Presidents do have the right to pick their cabinet members, no matter how bad they are, look at "Baby Face" Bush's pick for Secretary of Defense, there was a real looser!
