Thank you senator Reid for using the tools you have
to keep Bush from abusing the recess apointment
privilage.
For the reader's information:

The Recess Appointment was created for emergency puposes when congress was out of session months at a time and it took weeks for law-makers to get to the Capitol.

The president needed a way to appoint a replacement if someone died or had to resign.
It was NOT meant as a political tool to ram unpopular nominees in and avoid the confirmation
process.
These days congress is seldom out of session more than 2 months and it only takes 3 hrs to get across
country. Both parties have over-used this manuver.
Senator Reid should keep the senate in Pro Forma session for all recesses for the rest of this presidency and future presidents should stop using it for non-emergency purposes.

Finally! Some actual action taken to stand up to the despot in the White House! Recess appointments are meant as an emergency measure but, I'm sure, they have been used for purely political purposes many times in the past. The problem is that the the "man" (misnomer) now in the White House looks at them as just another way to get around doing things in a legitimate, legal way---just as he has done with virtually everything in his presidency. His attitude is screw the Constitution, the public, Congress, morals, common sense, common decency, the world---anything and anybody that doesn't agree or fit in with his narrow-minded, misguided, disastrous agenda. He is the Liar In Chief, and the worst thing that has ever happened to this country. I have zero respect for him, his party and anyone so uninformed about the facts that they still support his actions. Thank you, Senator Reid, for giving hope that there may be light at the end of the incredibly long tunnel back to sanity for our nation.

Thank you for sparing America more of Bush's absurd recess appointments. Please see Link for more thanks!

Thank you Leader Reid! This is all a part of the "Gloves Off" leadership I have been praying for and asking you for for so very long now.

Thank you, and please, don't allow recess until Bush and Cheney are long gone.

*applause*
