Senate Republicans stop all nominations until illegal appointments are withdrawn.
House Republicans refuse to appropriate/budget funds for any part of the executive branch until illegal appointments are withdrawn.
Tea Party Rally in February in DC to protest illegal appointments.
Pledge by Republican Senators & Congressmen to not raise the debt ceiling again until illegal appointments are withdrawn.
I like all your ideas!
I have already called Boehner and I will call McConnell next. I have also called my Democratic Senator, who is up for reelection in November, to tell her that I will fight against any member of Congress who doesn’t uphold the Constitution!
Reid could stop this but he’s giving tacit approval even though it crowds in on his own power.
Your list is about the only options available, if the GOP will have the cajones to do it.

Or more likely, Mitch McConnell will voice a second (but more mild) objection to this "highly questionable practice" and then life will go on usual. Repubs are usually good for one protest followed by another mild protest in order not to be accused of being racist.
Bottom line is, that McConnell & Boehner & the so-called Repub leadership are literally scared shitless of 0dumb0!
And the Repubs think they will mount a serious challenge to 0dumb0 in the 2012 election? My prediction.... 0dumb0 & the DNC & demoRATs & the media will have the Repubs running shitless in the 2012 election. It will be a massive blowout, no matter what happens to the economy or world events.
