The Senate unanimously agreed to block President Trump from making appointments during their August break amid concerns that hell replace Attorney General Jeff Sessions during the recess.
Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who Trump blasted on Twitter after she voted against the party on health care last month, locked in nine pro forma sessions over the next four weeks, The Hill reported.

This wouldn’t be happening, if term limits AND recall was, already, in place, for each and every level of politician and judge!
Yep tag lines are subject to management approval.. Good luck finding that on site. JimRob has lost it ...
I’m hoping that President Trump and AG Sessions do lots of things that are good for the country while the swampthings (most of DC) and the Sewer Rats (the US Senate) are away from DC. They aren’t there to oppose everything positive he enacts.
Dancing with the Spandau Ballet, underneath the DC cherry trees...
Aren't they already?
But it is worse than just McConnell.
Every. Single. Republican. Agreed.
My only conclusion is they all signed up to remove Trump.
It’s a coup.
Why did they ALL vote for it?
Are they? I hadn’t noticed.
I don’t like the 17th amendment either, but it isn’t the root of our problems. The root of our problems is Christians and conservatives who are not willing to join the culture war and separate themselves and their children from the Bernie factories aka socialist government schools. Whatever we do on the Constitution front at this stage is simply a matter of re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic. If we want to stop the Republic from sinking, we need to strike at the roots of the rot, which are: news media, government schools, Hollywood and corporate America (infested with anti-Christians and globalists). Getting out of the public school system not only saves our children, it stands as an example or a Witness to others.
Grand standing
Wow, gay.
IRRC the courts upheld this tactic when it was used to good effect against Obama.
Thoughts?
Never have I seen such a display and concerted effort to destroy and impede a sitting President and his ability to govern since perhaps Andrew Johnson.
We need to do a wholesale clean sweep of the entire House and Senate.
For which were usually bribed and bought (or vice-versa). There’s a reason why the 17th was enacted. Everyone and their mother knew the Senate had been corrupted a long time ago and equally corrupt state legislators “choosing” the Senators was a joke.
Well, that’s not gonna happen.
Time for drastic change. Congress is the Deep State, too.
Agreed. All this talk of 'civil war' isn't going to happen, either. Modern Americans aren't cut from the same cloth as those in the days of the Founders...not even close.
Had Trump not stated that he wanted to fire Jeff Sessions—one of the most conservative public officials in American history—and replace him with God knows who, Senate Republicans wouldn’t have taken such action. There are a lot of reasons to criticize Senate Republicans, but standing as a bulwark against the appointment of Kushner-approved liberals is not one of them.
Oh was that la seule raison?
It certainly was the first time that I heard any Senate Republican hint at staying in session. This is from July 27: http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/449935/senate-backs-sessions
