...says "Yes" to a reccess appointment of Harriet Miers or John Yoo.

Recess? Of course. (none / 0) (#14)

When it becomes obvious that there are not the votes to confirm Olson, the Republicans themselves will drag their feet.  We're already halfway to October, so it's no stretch to imagine that Ted will get a Christmas present just as soon as the Congress is out of town.

Can't Reid (none / 0) (#17)

put the Senate into pro forma session so that Bush can't make recess appointments?

Rather than having the Senate adopt a month-long adjournment resolution, Reid could opt for a recess of a few days. Then, Democratic senators -- most likely from Maryland, Virginia or another nearby state -- would be asked to take turns convening the Senate briefly every few days.

From CQ.com, though concerning the August recess.

Better this than Y, M, or O
