McConnell must be persuaded not to recess.
Don’t recess, just don’t schedule any meetings.
“There’s nothing on our calendar, but we’re in session.” All you have to do is send one or two guys over to call the Senate to order, move adjournment, and go home.
Yep. But will he do so.
In my opinion, with the republicans likely to lose the senate in November, it would be better for democrats to wait until the new presidency as well.
1. With the Senate they block anyone.
2. With both the president and the Senate they get exactly what the selection they want.
3. With Obama and the Senate in Republican hands, they get a compromise or they get nothing.
So you’re worried about a recess appointment blitz — a flurry of rulings before the senate can fly back.
McConnell might be on the phone now planning it out with O.
