and yesterday ohio senator sherrod brown apparently just had it.o the senate floor to try to make the case why adam szubin needs to be confirmed to this job now. >> mr. szubin heads what is in effect treasury's economic war room, managing u.s. efforts to combat terrorist financing and fight financial crimes. he can do his job better if he's not acting but he's in fact the confirmed nomination, the confirmed nominee of the president of the united states. nobody's in a better position in our government, nobody, than mr. szubin, and i want him confirmed so that he can do his job better. >> this is that the is at a 30-year low in terms of confirming nominees. this particular committee, the banking committee, has confirmed zero nominees this year. but with all the talk about isis and doing something to fight isis, you'd think that maybe the guy to fight isis financing with a bipartisan pedigree and everybody thinks he's eminently qualified and there are no substantive objections to him whatsoever, you'd think maybe that might be one. democrats are tryin
