Good move by our side – from the Wall Street Journal:
U.S. Senate Republicans late Thursday declared victory in their effort to use a procedural maneuver to thwart the president from making any recess appointments during Congress’ Memorial Day break.
Congressional aides say the Senate will not go on a formal recess but instead will technically stay in session, making it highly unlikely that the president would use his constitutional power to make appointments while the Senate is on break…
This is good for two reasons:
1. While Obama is appointing, for the most part, a group of corrupt, leftist hacks to fill his Administration positions, he reserves his kookiest and most corrupt for “czar” and recess appointments. We’re avoiding the worst of the worst by doing this.
2. We have to press the Democrats to vote on as much of the Obama agenda as possible. Nothing would please Reid more than to not hold a single vote between now and election day, 2012…any vote he takes he’ll either have to see his side rejecting Obama or going along with an increasingly unpopular President. The more votes, the better the advantage for us.
So, don’t get too discouraged out there, GOPers…we do have some pretty good guys and gals in the House and Senate these days. Not nearly as many as we need, but we can correct that next year…meanwhile, some good work is getting done.
