I think this is what they really fear. Trump could fill every Federal Court vacancy in an afternoon. Not to mention the hundreds of other open positions.

Roy Moore can do that all on his own? Wow.

“Roy Moore can do that all on his own? Wow.”

If Senator Moore can force the Senate into a real Recess, it can happen. McConnel, to his credit, used this trick to prevent Obama from doing it. He tried with the NLRB but got slapped down by the courts.

A dirty little secret is that he’s still doing it to President Trump, thus preventing him from making recess appointments. If Moore can force a real recess the President would be free to fill every single appointed position in one fell swoop.

The howling from all sides, including the media, would be sweet music to my ears.

Any senator can. All it takes is a single objection and the pernicious tactic of "unanimous consent" can be done away with. The fact that no one has stood up to do so says something very bad about every sitting senator.
