So Can Anybody Explain Why Harry Reid Agreed To Have The Senate Meet During This Scheduled Break...

for the Memorial Day Weekend...

Which prevented Obama from making Elizabeth Warren a Recess Appointment ???

What THE FUCK... was Reid thinking ???

:banghead:

:nuke:

It would be so much easier to support my party if IT DIDN'T SUCK SO MUCH !!!

:argh:

In order for the Senate to adjourn, the House must pass a resolution authorizing it to do so. If the House does not pass an adjournment resolution, the Senate cannot adjourn. If it cannot adjourn, it must meet.

If it must meet when there's a shortage of Senators, they have pro-forma sessions.

The repubs in the House--remember, they have a majority there?--said they wouldn't pass an adjournment resolution. That took it entirely out of Reid's hands. He didn't adjourn the Senate because he couldn't.

Doesn't that just make you really, really mad? I mean, here you are blaming the entire Democratic Party for something that you think Reid did--when, in fact, Reid had nothing to do with it. All that anger, so totally misplaced.

Such a pity.

Republicans back off and allow recess appointments.

Why allow the Republicans to take yet another vacation paid for by us if they want to obstruct?

This is a pretend "bogus" Senate session much like the fake phantom Republican filibusters.
