Brace yourself for this bastard. He will try it — It must be crushed.
Obama’s criminals at the White House have been working 24/7 and taking this court position and I think they’ve figured out a way
Senate is not in session until 3pm on the 22nd, that’s 10 days 4 hours. expect that recess appiontment at noon on the 22nds
why woudnt the lame duck try it? 11am on the 22nd would be 10 days
The Senate is holding pro forma sessions on the 15th and 18th this week. So the One couldn’t make a recess appointment even if he wanted to.
After the Senate won that court case, do you think they’d leave the doors unguarded?
Plus, it would be in very poor form for President Zero to make a vacancy appointment before Scalia was even buried.
Don’t believe it. I suspect he wants the Senate to feel safe going on recess so he can pull out a surprise appointment.
Can’t McConnell call the Senate back into session?
Obama sees the brass ring right in front of him ....just out of reach....how can he resist?
Dems will lie to get their way... The Senate must not let them get away with this...
“Can’t McConnell call the Senate back into session?”
I have read elsewhere he can’t with out Reid’s approval.
Your kidding me Reid has to agree. Eff him!
Yes, he could, although usually, that is done in consultation with the minority. It doesn’t have to be. To have a quorum, you just need 50 or 51 Senators (a majority). So, if McConnell can muster 50 of his people, they could get a session going. Not sure you could get Rubio to fly in, though. He’s busy.
Can’t McConnell call the Senate back into session.
******************************
They are NOT ON RECESS. The Supreme Court decided that the Senate decides when they are in session.
Yes!
The problem isn’t obama and the democrats - long, long experience has proven beyond any shadow of a doubt they’ll do anything to move America to the left.
The problem is that the spinelsss republicans roll over and take it every, single time, and they’ll do it again.
Obama is more slippery and slimy than all of the GOP put together.
And that is not an easy accomplishment.
Well, Duuuhhh. He knows it’s not legal. Of course that has not stopped him before.
you don’t become a multi-millionaire on a gov’t. apparatchiks’ salary. Many of our honorable ctitters are rich.
He’s busy trying to buy them off. We all know what they are, Now they’re just haggling over price.
