"The case against Secretary Granholm, as laid out by the supporting Republicans, consists of several major points:
- Conflict of Interest: Granholm was accused of using her office to promote a company where she previously served on the board. This raises questions about the ethical boundaries between public service and private interests.
- Failure to Secure Energy Independence: Rep. James argued that instead of securing American energy independence, Granholm is actually depleting it. He pointed out the sale of strategic petroleum reserves as one example.
- Poor Track Record: Drawing from her time as Governor of Michigan, James labeled her policy history as one of failure, suggesting that this past performance has been a reliable indicator of her current actions.
