The Senate blocked President Trump from being able to make recess appointments on Thursday as lawmakers leave Washington for their summer break.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), doing wrap up for the entire Senate, locked in nine "pro-forma" sessions — brief meetings that normally last roughly a minute.

Yep they did this to Obama and GW Bush.
“I think this was a deal. Lisa M. releases her hostages in return for this cap.”
Huh?
MUrkie better start looking for alternate funding for her next run. The RNC reserves the right to allow a candidate on their ticket or not.
Yep they did this to Obama and GW Bush.
Maybe but not with the massive number of nominations languishing in the Senate waiting for confirmation Trump is dealing with and did thier own party do it them?
Wake up! The RNC *is* Murkie!!!
“He said Sessions recused himself because he’s a decent man and tried to do what was the right thing to do”
It is a pity his sense of doing what is right does not involve appointing a special prosecutor to investigate any number of democrats that have actually committed crimes.
“I will NEVER vote Republican again. NEVER”
Why do you want Leftists controlling the Supreme Court for the next forty years?
....Yes, they can. Republicans did it to Obama several times.....
Trump isn’t Zer0, though treated worse than.
Franks was in total agreement that to do what is right, just gives the left/dems the path to do the opposite and win the war.. to do what is right, does not work in this corrupt environment. Sessions, in his naivete in this pool of slime, just gave them the way to attack Trump.
I have said on FR many times, if you are the only one who is fair and honest, you will lose the battle. Franks said as much... there is no room to do what is right in this corrupt cesspool in Washington!
Mike Pence needs to join Trump in speaking out against the Establishment and the deep state.
You forgot McCain.
McCain isn’t going to make it to 2022.
God is term limiting McCain since the voters of Arizona would not.
Mike Pence was part of the GOP House leadership with Ryan and Cantor. He is Establishment.
McCain is in there. I just checked.
The whole republican party needs to stand with Trump...
They do not realize what they are doing to their party by dissing our President .. for the sake of believing if they just stay neutral and not ‘soil’ themselves with the likes of Trump, they can skate past the Trump Presidency and in 4 years, they’ll be home free.
They will find out too late to help Trump, that they are the reason they will lose everything.. they and obama are the reason Trump won!
Trent Franks needs to replace Jeff Flake.
Arizona should not have 2 amnesty Senators.
August recess, only 12 working days scheduled throgh the end of September.
‘Cock block’ the guy who works all the time b-4 leaving and off to a several week vacay.
The Exempt class: nice work if you can get it!
If democrats had the presidency and Senate, there would be no need for recess appointments.
65 nominees approved:
We’re having to fight tooth and nail for everything.
