Why the Senate Should Reconvene Immediately to Stop Obama

The sudden loss of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia already has the political class buzzing about what comes next.

News and analysis moves at lighting speed. The first thing America should do is take a deep breath and celebrate the life of one of the most influential constitutionalist judges in my lifetime. Antonin Scalia was a giant on the Court and he helped change America for the better.

However, because President Obama has routinely abused executive power and given the Senate is in recess, it is reasonable for conservatives to fear a recess appointment.

Therefore, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell needs to immediately convene the Senate as soon as possible to forgo any risk of a recess appointment. A recent appeals court held that a recess appointment can only happen when the Senate is in a long recess.

Good call, Black Elk.

When are FR people going to accept: The Republican Party is on THEIR SIDE. The GOP is on OBAMA'S side. Their interests are the same. It's laughable to seriously suggest that.

It's "magical thinking." A mental disorder. We've been molested over and over again, then we claim the GOP will never molest us again.

The Republican Party is on THEIR-—OBAMA’s-—side. The Republicans are on the same side as Obama and the Dems. There is not one precedent to demonstrate that this is not true, and many precedents that support it.

Thank you for your kind words. It is nearly impossible to place any confidence in the so-called "GOP leadership" of either house. All they care about is lobbyist and special interest $$$$$$. We need to remind them that, unless they are putting payoffs in their personal bank accounts, the $$$$$$ they seek is only good for attracting votes. That translates to votes are more important than $$$$$ or they would not be performing in a permanent whoreathon for $$$$$ in the hope that they can use it to get votes.

We should never cease reminding them that we've got the votes and can withhold those votes.
