Good point. Unless I’m missing something, this is the wrong battle at the wrong time.

There is plenty to get angry about regarding Obama. A recess appointment is about the most constitutional thing he’s done yet, and as you said — it’s not even clear that he’s bypassing confirmation anymore.

“”A recess appointment is about the most constitutional thing he’s done yet, and as you said — it’s not even clear that he’s bypassing confirmation anymore.””

Not quite - Article 2, Section 2 of the Constitution states that a vacancy has to happen DURING a recess!!
Look it up. Someone in Congress should be pointing that out - they are a bunch of lawyers, are they not?

Suppose it won’t matter now if he submits his name - possibly to avoid controversy over the appointment being unconstitutional???? Probably not - that doesn’t seem to bother him in the least.
