He is apparently a member of one of the Committees that reviews nominees for Veteran Affairs, etc.

Others need to step up who are on other Committees to do the same and delay - just like Stuporville did with the military promotions.

The one thing to keep in mind too is that this tactic works best with the "lower level" nominees that are usually confirmed "by unanimous consent" (e.g., SESs like Regional Directors, Deputies and Assistants, etc).
