Article II, Section 2. The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.

Both parties ignore the plain language of the constitution which only grants power to fill vacancies that happen during the recess, not those which occurred prior to the recess.

“It is wrong to dismiss the delays resulting from the Senate Republicans’ obstruction as merely political tit for tat, this is a new and damaging tactic Senate Republicans have devised. They are stalling action on noncontroversial nominees.”

(December 21, 2008)
Chris Wallace, Fox News: "Mr. Vice President (Cheney), did you tell Senator Leahy, to go “f--k himself”?"

Vice President Dick Cheney: "I did."

Wallace: "Any qualms, second thoughts, or embarrassment?"

Vice President Cheney: "No, I thought he merited it at the time..."

AND HE STILL DOES!!!
