Um, separation of powers means they can’t do this. They may have tried but it is meaningless except for pandering to their leftidiot base.

...Following the House, the Senate will hold a series of “pro forma” sessions over the next month, effectively blocking President Barack Obama from making any appointments during Congress’ August recess...
We need new Republicans.
Alexander, Corker, Flake, Gardner, Graham, Hatch, Heller, Hoeven, Murkowsky, McCain, Rubio, Burr, Tillis, Portman, McConnell, Thune, Cornyn, Cochran, Isackson, Blunt, Johnson, Toomey, Capito, Rounds, Fischer, Collins, Wicker, Sasse, Ernst and Shelby are all Democrats in R jerseys.
Elections have consequences.
Did you all hear Trent Franks from AZ when he was on Hannity’s radio show yesterday?
He gave a very well put speech of what is going on with the too timid, too polite, too mannerly, too decent acting republicans, against the dems who are not any of those kind of persons.. they just fight.. dig in.. and do whatever it takes to get what they want. He said Sessions recused himself because he’s a decent man and tried to do what was the right thing to do.. the honorable thing to do.. but he pointed out the republicans are so busy trying to be nice, that they are losing this war for our country. He understands the problem.. he says the republicans are too timid... too weak.. he understands there are crimes that need to be investigated.. by the left... hillary and all we want investigated.
Franks is also on the house judiciary committee.
If democrats controlled both houses with a democrat president, this proposal would receive ZERO democrat votes.
If Trump was threatening to appoint someone wholly unqualified I could see his own party doing this.
But in this case, there’s no evidence of any such intent.
These so called Republicans are scum.
AS I have said, the eGOP is dead to me. I would rather have Democrats people hold accountable than the Republicans that get away with this sh*t!
Time to remove their exemption to Obamacare...oh, and stay in Washington ridiculing them for being “in session” but never doing any work. Do it all August long, every day. Ask if they’re really the French, who take the whole month off...
I will NEVER vote Republican again. NEVER
Time to go to the matresses!
I think this was a deal. Lisa M. releases her hostages in return for this cap. We’re winning. But we’re fighting for everything.
much adoo about nothing - I don’t believe the President has, or had any such plan.
I don’t know about others but I trust the President a heck of lot more than those in Congress.
Yep they did this to Obama and GW Bush.
MUrkie better start looking for alternate funding for her next run. The RNC reserves the right to allow a candidate on their ticket or not.
August recess, only 12 working days scheduled throgh the end of September.
‘Cock block’ the guy who works all the time b-4 leaving and off to a several week vacay.
The Exempt class: nice work if you can get it!
Bump
Not one GOP senator opposed this?
