Don’t worry, the next time the Republicans gain control of the senate, they’ll change it back right away.

Do you suppose that Harry Reid knew that Napolitano was about to resign, so decided to change the rules?
It might be worse.

Consider the possibility that the Administration has been given a "heads up" about a Supreme Court Justice retiring. Then the cheese would get really binding.

Doesn’t matter. 0bama can make a recess appointment anytime he feels the Senate is in recess, which is anytime.

"In 2014, don’t change the rule."

You're not paying attention: When Democrats are the Minority, they run to the USSC with complaints of "Un-Constitutional"....When Republicans are in the Majority, they kiss the Majority Leader's ass, and vote with the other Side.

Ok, now I understand why the nuclear option story was floated yesterday...

But seriously, why doesn’t 0 just appoint a golf cart as head of DHS for all the opposition that anyone is going to give. It doesn’t matter. At this point, every move the regime makes is just a giant adolescent middle finger to the nation.
