1. Confirm Mike Pompeo to fill the void at State

From USA TODAY: "Though Trump nominee's hawkish views are troubling, they are not sufficient reason to block his confirmation to be secretary of State: Our view."

2. Senate must save itself by confirming Mike Pompeo

From The Hill: "In recent years, one of the bright spots in the legislative branch has been the bipartisan spirit that infuses the work of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee."

3. Confirm Mike Pompeo: President Trump needs a secretary of state
From New York Daily News: "Pompeo would not be our choice to be America's top diplomat, but unlike other patently unqualified Trump Cabinet picks, he is a solid-enough selection who deserves Senate consent."
