And thus forcing things to the SC. Which if the republicans had done something like that, it would have been the end of all civilization as we know it.
The crying and gnashing of teeth would have made 6 year olds jealous. The press would have been calling for street protests.

Its attitudes like this that make parents wish they could send their kids back from were ever they came from.
Or at least be able to slap the neighbors kids.

Obama thinks that the Constitution is filled with suggestions.

And if the Senate is so opposed to an individual they will probably still not confirm the appointment. So as this plays out, those positions are still filled. But I think the whole thing is being handled properly, and will probably wind its way to the Supreme Court, which will then actually be deciding on basically the validity of the whole concept of recess appointments, and as wodun says above the validity of decisions they made while in office…after all, if they say that pro forma sessions are valid, then each party will always hold pro forma sessions in order to block appointments. I would think Republicans should understand this. The Democrats have little to complain about since Reid introduced the use of pro forma sessions when Bush was President.

Does this mean all of their decisions need to be revisited after a legitimate panel is in place?
