block President Bush from making any unsavory recess appointments while Senators are out of town. No media bias there.

Don’t the senators actually have to be in the chamber to be “in session” or is this another smoke-and-mirrors parliamentary maneuver like the “virtual filibuster”?

There has to be a line somewhere but they won't see it until they see evidence it's been crossed.

Bush should just let Reid know that, if Reid does this, Bush is prepared to call a special session of Congress to keep them in session all the way through January 2009.

You can bet this loathsome troll will be on the first plane out of DC. Wonder who will stay behind to mind the store? Does anyone know how many senators it takes to keep the chamber in session?

There is a danger for Harry here ... it is a parliamentary game, not putting the Senate in recess. Recess would let the members go home, safe in the knowledge that business could not be condiucted. However, if the session is kept open, could not a sufficient number of Senators show up, constitute a quorum, and conduct business? it would make for an interesting game of chicken, if nothing else!

Is he going to pull the same thing at Christmas? If not, the President could stick his fork in this turkey then.

Bush needs to go on National TV and outline the progress being made on the ground in Iraq and talk about the fact that Congress is on vacation without providing the funds for our troops who are on the front lines.

“With the Thanksgiving break looming, the administration informed me that they would make several recess appointments,” Reid said. “I indicated I would be willing to confirm various appointments if the administration would agree to move on Democratic appointments.
“They would not make that commitment.”
It has been normal protocol for the WH to let the Senate leaders know that he was going to make recess appointments and who the would be. Apparently this was done for this upcoming break and Reid isn’t in agreement on some of them and also wants some democrat appointees approved to some executive branch departments.
This sounds like a neogiating ploy by Reid...... we’ll see.
