Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said the Senate Judiciary Committee is "exploring" measures that would block President Trump from appointing an acting attorney general to replace Attorney General Jeff Sessions during the August recess, effectively allowing him to circumvent the need for congressional confirmation.
"We're exploring the ways right now," Durbin said on MSNBC's "The Beat with Ari Melber."
The Illinois senator declined to offer further details when Melber pushed how they plan to prevent any attempt of Trump to replace Attorney General Jeff Sessions, adding that he's told Melber "as much as I can tell you at this moment."

Well, then.
The Democrats want to protect the “conservative” Jeff Sessions.....WOW......
Stupid, Stupid People...
Trump and Sessions have the Dems’ heads spinning.
I don’t know who Durbin thinks he is, but the president is within his right to made any and all recess appointments he wishes during the recess.
Game, Set, Match...Played right into Trump’s hands
This is interesting...the dems want Sessions left in place....hmmmmmm.
After today, what will they want?
They certainly didn’t want him. Next they want to keep him. As long as it makes Trump look bad.
I’m slow so can you explain how this play’s into Trump’s hand?
It seems like Barack Obama has been awfully quiet of late.

“The Democrats want to protect the conservative Jeff Sessions”
That should tell you all you need to know about Sessions.
Thought Sessions was a Klansman???
If I’m Durbin, and I’m serious about plotting ways to block a possible Trump recess appointment in August, why would I be talking about it to the press.
And if I’m Trump, and I’m serious about wanting to get a recess appointment through for a Sessions replacement in August, why would I be tweeting about how disappointed I was with Sessions every 5 minutes?
Things are not as they seem.
I dunno, that seems like a stretch to me.
Calm before the tsunami!!
They don’t want Trump to be able to escape the witch hunt that was set up for him.
