Why the hell aren’t republicans creating rules to bypass this crap?
The rule is in place. It's to put the Senate in recess and the president can make recess appointments for every, single position including SCOTUS.
Give President Trump a 24 hour notice so he can line everyone up... done and done. Move on.
Because Mitch McTurtle is more interested in the stability of the senate than he is in promoting the new administrations agenda including, apparently, his cabinet. How long can they stall with this tactic?
