The President should just appoint all of his nominee’s by recess appointment as soon as the Senate goes on their monthly vacation.

Then, McConnell should tell the Dummies that he wants them all up for a vote of the full Senate or the Republicans will filibuster every single bill that comes before the Senate — no exceptions.

I don’t know if it would work, but it would sure be fun to watch the temper tantrum.

“The President should just appoint all of his nominee’s by recess appointment as soon as the Senate goes on their monthly vacation.”

Apparently Reid has already figured out how to get around that- he’s stated he will adjourn the senate when they return- and then start up again, effectively erasing any recess appointments. I don’t know if that would work, but he seems to think it will.

That could/would work if.....the RINOs held the line.

Well, McConnell is already playing the filibuster card; 1 of every 6 rollcall votes in this session’s Senate has been a cloture vote, which puts this session on pace to demolish the record for cloture votes in a single session. He’s even holding up legislation already approved by the Senate (96-2 vote, in one case) by refusing to name GOP Senators to the House/Senate conference committee that must resolve difference between the two versions of the bill.

I don’t think McConnell has all that much parliamentary ammunition left.
