from what i understand, these are a (to borrow an algore word) ‘scheme’ to prevent bush from making recess appointments - they open a session and immediately close it so they can claim that congress is in session - so recess appointments can't be made
and if congress is not in session, cspan can't broadcast - so we can't watch the tea party
i posted this question on the live thread - but i think i got lost in the high traffic
for these pro forma stunts - or tactics - they open session and immediately gavel it closed? could the republicans vote no to closing the session? or make a motion to call for a vote to close the session? since they are the only ones there, they could keep the session open - or where am i going wrong here
that would keep cspan on air
