McConnell's office has released this...
Louisville, KY – U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell issued the following statement today regarding the President's unprecedented recess appointment of Richard Cordray as director of the new CFPB while the Senate is not in recess: Although the Senate is not in recess, President Obama, in an unprecedented move, has arrogantly circumvented the American people by 'recess' appointing Richard Cordray as director of the new CFPB [Consumer Financial Protection Bureau]. This recess appointment represents a sharp departure from a long-standing precedent that has limited the President to recess appointments only when the Senate is in a recess of 10 days or longer.
Sounds like his staff is getting a barrage of calls...they're saying it's only been four hours...and to stay tuned for more (blah, blah) statements from McConnell's office.
Oh, we'll stay tuned:)
Oooooh. “Statements” from Mitch. The next step will be “strongly worded but respectful memoranda”.
