The posters have advised that Congress is merely adjourned, not in recess. SO it appears my comment was in error, sorry. If Congress is not recessed, then McConnell wouldn’t have to issue any statement at all
O can still announce he is submitting a nominee to Congress, and O can still use his ‘bully pulpit’ to raise Cain.......but the nominee would have to wait for Senate confirmation, if any. An all McConnell would have to do is simply not schedule confirmation hearings or a vote, period. “The easiest thing in the world to do is nothing...”
If the easiest thing is to do nothing, Harry Reid was the best example of doing nothing. He would not even schedule bills for years and years.
Oh, okay—thanks.
