Reid to Keep Senate in Session to Prevent Recess Appointments
posted by

2:18 PM
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has decided to keep the chamber in session over the Thanksgiving break to block President Bush from making any unsavory recess appointments while Senators are out of town.
In a statement inserted in the record Friday, the Majority Leader said he will hold the Senate in a series of pro forma or nonvoting sessions to prevent the controversial practice. In the statement, Reid argued that nominations need to get on track, and that Bush has not met the Democrats "halfway" in agreeing to Democratically backed nominees to "important commissions."

"With the Thanksgiving break looming, the administration informed me that they would make several recess appointments," Reid said. Congress doesn't deserve recess anyway

You see what we get when we let people 'legislate' their own pay and holidays (and health care), among all the other perks. How about 60 hours a week for 50 weeks a year, and time clocks. These are mostly people that couldn't hold a real job to save their lives. Just look at their performance...what would happen to you if you "performed" like our 'leaders'? You'd be living under a bridge and pushing your office around in a friggin shopping cart, that's what. What has this great "Democratic majority" got you? That's right, not a fucking thing except a clearer look at the so called "Democratic party". I WANT MY MONEY BACK!
