Our government is undergoing a significant test. The new administration has selected new Cabinet members without qualifications for jobs proposed. Compare the qualifications of these people to the Cabinet members of the current administration.

The new Cabinet choices appear to me to be yes-men rather than the best suited for the job. Even more concerning is the apparent threat of retribution to senators not supporting the administration’s choices for these posts. It almost looks like a “finger in the eye” to the American people by the incoming president.
