And how is it a Republican policy?

It is part of DOJ. The executive branch names a prospective head, does it not?

Then it is up to the Senate to give its advice and consent in naming the head, right?

I thought that the Democrats controlled the upper house of Congress…

You know some things actually cross party lines.

But of course you are right. They should fix it or get rid of it, but that is also an executive decision, isn’t it?
