Reid To Bush: No Recess Appointments Wanted

[Patters]

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) will bring the Senate in for a series of pro forma sessions over the next two weeks in order to avoid recess appointments by President Bush.

The Senate will convene every couple of days - Nov. 20, Nov. 23, Nov. 27, Nov. 29 - in order to prevent Bush from taking advantage of its absence to place individuals in positions requiring Senate confirmation.

Bush has made several controversial recess appointments, including John Bolton as U.S. representative to the United Nations in Aug. 2005, when the Senate would not confirm the individuals. Bolton later resigned from the U.N. post when the Senate refused to confirm his nomination.

In April 2007, Bush appointed Sam Fox as U.S. ambassador to Belgium. Fox gave $50,000 to the group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth during the 2004 presidential campaign. Fox's appointment infuriated Reid and other Democrats, including Sen. John Kerry (Mass.), the target of the Swift Boat campaign. Reid vowed that, in the future, he would move to head off any more recess appointments, but the White House and Senate Democrats were able to work out a compromise to cover the August break.

That's right. Only Bill Clinton is allowed to do that. Because "he cares more".

you're like a trained monkey in a display case at the zoo.... controlled, predictable, tired, lifeless...

deflecting to Bill Clinton in every thread doesn't win you a single argument here... never has... it only isolates you as a guy who has no ammunition, and is resorting to throwing sand at his opponents...

It's apparent the truth hurts, but go to your doctor and tell him to lie to you.

You don't want to admit to the double-standard of the Dems, but it's plain as day to everybody else.

And if anybody's tired around here it's those who think the Dems are going to rail-road Bush, while giving Clinton a tap on the wrist. I know karma comes as a shock, but better to learn sooner rather than later.

well, see... the difference there, in case you can't conceptualize, is that Boy King is CURRENTLY in office, and has facilitated the unlawful killing of 160,000+ innocent civilians, stretched our military to the breaking point, and made one appointment after another MERGING church and state...

i mean, am i SUPPOSED to be complaining about Bill Clinton 7 years later just to make you feel better? lol...

i don't drink coffee, of any sort... but you stick to making up things... it's what you do...

Recess appointments blow.

I suppose they wouldn't be needed if the Senate did their job: give the nominees a hearing and have a flooor vote.

Unfortunatly the dems don't believe in the constitutional process.
