I don't think Senator Professor Warren is "weak" for supporting the nomination of Ben Carson, a space alien, to head the Department of Housing and Urban Development. I just think she's mistaken because Carson has no more business running that agency than he does flying the space shuttle. But I can't go along with the general thrust of the piece, that a general opposition to the president*'s shoddy imitation of forming a government is wrongheaded because the Republicans will simply vote these people into the jobs anyway.
