GOP: Could Obama make a recess appointment overnight or on weekend? (strongly worded letter to DOJ)

Wow! You have to hand it to the Republicans; they're not taking Obama's actions sitting down. Instead, they're asking Obama's partner-in-crime if Obama has done anything wrong here. I wonder what Holder will say????

The politicians have turned this once great Nation to a complete joke.

This letter is air-filled cotton candy designed to make it look like the GOP leadership is actually doing something powerful about O's power grabs.

Like cotton candy, it will melt down to a sticky goo after sitting in Holder's round file for the next 11 months.

If they are not going to impeach why bother? Barry is laughing at them and so is Holder.

[wbill]

Obama must be shaking in his boots.

Yup. And if the behavior continues, ANOTHER strongly worded note will be sent, along with the annotation: "And this time, we really, REALLY mean it!".

I wish, I wish, I wish my party had a spine.

Or, on MLK Day?

Let’s get real. Give Holder and the DOJ one week to respond to the letter and anser the questions. If they do not respond within the time limit then cut off funds to that organization. Also Boehner can issue a statement signed by House members declaring the appointment to be unconstitutional and that any orders from that organization be ignored.

[FastCoyote]

Actually, Grassley has just set up the DOJ for a smackdown by the Supreme Court. If the president can deem the recess, then it nulls and voids a provision of the Constitution and will therefore by necessity be overturned, even by the court leftists.

[mojitojoe]

Barry will write them back at the right time. He already has his letter prepared.

However, that’s the only way Bush was able to appoint Bolton.

However, that’s the only way Bush was able to appoint Bolton.

So what. I would love to know what Bolton did to get rid of the UN or at least cut it. I was expecting more from him. That might just be prime reason why we need confirmation so that we get someone in there that will work and not just be a figure head.

John Bolton was a recess appointment.

None of this should have happened republicans could have kept the house in session. We are ruled by one party, the Elite.
