It is unethical for Republican Senators to threaten the Democrats. The Republicans have no interest in being serious about good will for next year, only threatening any remaining authority of this session of Congress.

...“Let’s clear the decks, (click here) unless we can get some agreement with Republicans,” said Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.). “We should stay all night and all weekend getting the president’s nominees on the job.”
Added independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont: “We still have the majority. I think we should be as aggressive as we can.”...
The two nominees to the cabinet have to be voted through to start the new year out right. And Majority Leader Reid may want to check with President Obama regarding any measures that have to be handled in this session. President Obama has come home with very promising foreign policy with China in regard to a peace initiative along China's sovereign shoreline. He also has landed a direly important agreement between the two country in regard to the climate crisis. Senator Reid has to act on this before the next session of Congress. The urgency of these measures cannot be measured in time. There is no more time to wait for either the nominees or the President's accomplishments.
