Being ignorant of the whole process - does it require a super majority? Or is confirmation possible along party lines since republicans control the senate?

Well, Hegseth - who is only there because donvict saw him on the teevee and ~~was sexually attracted to him~~ thought he was "straight out of central casting" - only got the job by a 50/50 vote broken by "JD" "Vance".

So, yeah, donvict wins the office by 1.5% or whatever, the Senate can vote 50/50 and apparently that's how we do things - where someone who only barely has support to do something can run roughshod over every law and norm in this country...and we'll let Brainwormz kill millions by this logic.
