I don't give a rat's ass if Obama uses recess to appoint people who the minority won't even allow an up-or-down vote... George Bush threatened to do it...

It's wrong no matter who does it and nu-democratic...

It was right for Senator Reid to push the "nuclear option"... It also was right when the Repub threatened to do 7 or 8 years ago...

There should be no filibusters on appointees unless that filibuster is done the "Mr Smith Goes to Washington" way... But that means real work and real time and real debate and real legislating... Not at all what we have now where the filibuster is as easy as taking a breath...
