And how is it a Republican policy?

Oh, I dunno, that's just a baseless assertion, I guess. Oh, wait, it isn't. There's a persistent pattern of crippling, blocking, and generally making the ATF into the toothless eunuch of the executive branch.

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

ATF was separated from the DOJ eight years ago. Also, the President cannot name a single acting head without 60+ votes in the Senate, as you doubtless know.

Google "filibuster" and have your head explode.
