Max I see your point in that he is obviously lying about his knowledge of this procedure, and to that end I can follow you down the path of not wanting to see another person confirmed to serve in this administration that speaks out of both sides of his mouth. That being said, I just don't fucking care. Both sides are completely reactive to whatever political ploy the other side is attempting at any given time.
