Richard Cordray: Obama Invokes the Teddy Roosevelt Option (click title to entry - thank you)

...The going theory among Republicans was that Obama couldn't and wouldn't do this. Why? In order to break, in order for there to be a true recess, both Houses need to agree on a resolution of adjournment. Since May 2011, House Republicans have refused to do so. Instead, they've set up pro forma sessions -- every three days, the House must be gaveled in, and that's it. No action, no legislation. Republicans did this and pointed out that no president since Teddy Roosevelt had tried to ram nominees through in anything less than a multi-week recess....
Republicans are horrid. They seek to violate every venue of decency that exists in the USA legislature. Is it 2012 yet?
