Reid's Plan to Stop Recess Appointments
==Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid "has a little trick up his sleeve that could spell an end to President Bush's devilish recess appointments of controversial figures," according to Washington Whispers.

"We hear that over the long August vacation, when those types of summer hires are made, Reid will call the Senate into session just long enough to force the prez to send his nominees who need confirmation to the chamber. The talk is he will hold a quickie 'pro forma' session every 10 days, tapping a local senator to run the hall. Senate workers and Republicans are miffed, but Reid is proving that he's the new sheriff in town."==

I hope this is true--it will be another coup by Reid!

1. I'm sure it IS true. There's not gonna be any more Boltons.
And you know damned well that Bush will want to replace Gonzo, who is looking like he's closer to resigning every day...with whom? Another evil bloodsucker? Well, his bloodsucker will have to get the once-over, at least...

2. I'd been thinking something just like this had to be done.
This Unitary Executive has been doing everything he can to become king.
