Money quote:
“But that progress can’t be made if the President seeks controversial recess appointments and fails to make Democratic appointments to important commissions.

The democratic senate is the biggest waste of taxpayer dollars in the history of our country, IMHO.

As I posted on a previous thread:
Lets see if Ive got it right. President Bush will be in Crawford celebrating Thanksgiving with his family and friends, while Reid will be in Washington D.C. celebrating nothing and being with no one. And Reid's colleagues will be doing the same. Reid is lower than whale sh*t at the bottom of the ocean.

Anyone who knows the Senate rules, knows how this ploy by Reid can be defeated. Even when the Senate is in a non-voting mode, any Senator can say to the person presiding (there has to be someone presiding), "Mr. President, I suggest the lack of a quorum." At that point, the clerk must call the roll.
If no quorum shows up, then the Senate MUST adjourn, without further action of any kind. Then the decks would be cleared for recess appointments, should the President wish to make any such appointments.
Glad I could be of service.

Is there even any appointments coming up to block? Thought Mucasy(sp) was the only one and he got approved.

Reid = a mean spirited, bitter man still stinging from the fact Mr. Bush won two elections the right way (by getting more Electoral college votes than challenger #1 and challenger #2).
Mr. Reid, history will find that you are a loser... it will NOT take 20+ years to set this fact in granite.
Go away little man

If the Senate will be open through the Thanksgiving break, what’s to prevent the Republicans from showing up and voting on several important issues?

I recall on Inauguration Day, Bush made a speech with all the Senators and Reps present, and began the speech, “Distinguished members of Congress....and some not-so-distinguished members...”
