The top Republican on the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure is urging Republican Sen. Jim DeMint to stand firm in opposing the nomination of Erroll Southers to head the Transportation Security Administration.
On Monday Rep. John Mica, who played a key role in the creation of the TSA in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, sent a letter to DeMint outlining a number of concerns about the Southers nomination. Although Mica, as a member of the House, has no role in considering the Southers nomination, the letter provides support for DeMint’s so-far lonely role as the only Senate Republican to publicly oppose Southers.
