What Kind Of Recess Appointments Can * Make In August To Cause.....
more trouble or to protect himself/*Co going forward?

Can Reid/Pelosi keep Congress going during August to prevent recess appointments?

Just by calling * out on this before he even tries to do a recess appointment - would that be effective?

1. I thought Reid already said Congress would not be out of session for longer than 10 days,
which is the line for Bush being able to do recess appointments.

Did I misunderstand, or was this just for their last vacation? :shrug:

2. I think that they should stay in session...
Set up a schedule and keep a core group in Washington. These are challenging times, Bush* can't be trusted.

4. Good question
My fear -- Gonzo resigns right before the recess and Jr makes a recess appoint of John Yoo or similar horrid cretin even worse than Gonzo.

I hope it's true Congress will only be out for 10 days! Hadn't read that anywhere but here.
