The fun thing about this is:

The Democrats used this against Bush and it is coming back to haunt them.

About time the Republicans started playing hardball.

From wikipedia:

The Long Parliament was made on 3 November 1640, following the Bishops' Wars. It received its name from the fact that through an Act of Parliament, it could only be dissolved with the agreement of the members, and those members did not agree to its dissolution until after the English Civil War and at the end of Interregnum in 1660. It sat from 1640 until 1648, when it was purged, by the New Model Army, of those who were not sympathetic to the Army's concerns.

This is GREAT!

This has the additional benefit of allowing them to stick by their Keystone Pipeline proposal, while Obama keeps them in town to pass the Payroll Taxcut Extension.

Thus, Obama has NO HAMMER regarding the taxcut extension, and his tactic leaves him powerless to inject recess appointments.

Write your congress-critters and tell them to “Support the Keystone Pipeline”!

This is a great idea, which is why we can be certain that the Stupid Party won’t actually follow through on it.

"But there is this other provision that says, well, if the two houses themselves can't agree on an adjournment, the president can adjourn Congress," Ritchie says.

Does Obama dare to think he is Cromwell dismissing the "Long Parliament"?

Keep slamming this unrepentant, American-despising Marxist until he is in on Marine One, flying away from the Capitol on 01-20-2013. Just imagine that day, as cameras catch Hussein’s lowered head and a bitter, furious Moochelle furrowing her brow at him in disgust, as they head back to Chicago in disgrace. DON’T LET UP UNTIL THAT VERY MOMENT! Full throttle!

I dare Obama to force a recess of Congress to install his cronies. That’ll go over really well with the electorate in 2012. /s
