Gee....Why do I think a few Repub Senators will show this week.
Oh, s**t.
A recess appointment and that recess appointment ruling in the administration favor in immigration case would be the worst possible outcome for Obama. Its why he won’t make a recess appointment.
man, that was badly worded
Looking for the right muslim, no doubt.

Simple Definition of recess
: a short period of time during the school day when children can play
It was my understanding that the House and Senate must formally announce themselves to be adjourned, as opposed to simply being absent. That was the crux of the SCOTUS ruling against recess appointments, IIRC.
The timing of Scalia’s death was awfully suspicious.
Obama can count on McConnell
It sure is suspicious.
WHY DON’T THESE IDIOTS READ THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD!
They’re NOT recessed, they’re just adjourned:
“ORDERS FOR MONDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2016, THROUGH MONDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2016
Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the
Senate completes its business today, it adjourn, to then convene for
pro forma sessions only, with no business being conducted, on the
following dates and times, and that following each pro forma session,
the Senate adjourn until the next pro forma session: Monday, February
15, at 11 a.m.; Thursday, February 18, at 9 a.m.; I further ask that
when the Senate adjourns on Thursday, February 18, it next convene at 3
p.m., Monday, February 22,”
The Senate is in adjournment, not recess, and is having pro-forma sessions.
No recess appointments can be made.
To: The U.S. Senate
Do not go into recess. Repeat. Do not go into recess.
Signed,
Or Else
How convenient that Scalia was Pelican Filed during this auspicious occasion...
The timing of Scalia’s death was awfully suspicious.

I already thought this, got my tin-foil on. Hillary said in the last debate that boma was a good choice...Please let her have a meltdown on tv so I can watch...
Elections do have “coincidences” also. You sure can tell that the Clintonista family is back in town. It’s like the 90s all over again.
Mitch McConnell needs to call the US Senate into session immediately and keep them technically “in session” until the communist has been formally replaced. Freedom is already hanging by a thread.
Indeed.
