Well, "sweetie", the repugs made a sham of the "in recess" crap, by coming in every couple of days to bang the gavel. They were just trying to circumvent what had been "business as usual" when their pet presidents were in office. Don't be so naive.
Meh...tell it to The Supreme Court; they made the ruling.
So passing only Republican legislation is what a Democratic Senate should do? When you see compromise between them you will see bills get passed. Too place the entire blame on one is foolish, because it does takes compromise. Clinton, and Gingrich got stuff done, because they were willing.
Actually, Clinton got things done because he had the advantage of working with both a Republican House and a Republican Senate for 6 years.
Bill Clinton, you will find, vetoed 36 bills. Obama, just to compare, has vetoed 2. Doesn't look like Clinton was all that much of a compromiser.
See? If you watched Fox News more, you would know that.
The subject ain't the number of recess appointments, Sweetie. It is the fact that when Mr Obama made them the legislature was not actually in recess. So says SCOTUS.

Yes, I saw how Clinton and Gingrich got too much done. You need to learn how to read. I said that Reid should at least let the things be voted on. He won't even let the senate vote on things. One person should not be in control when we sent two senators from each state to do the work. Reid is holding up the process. He is stopping things from being voted on that a majority of Americans want such as the Keystone Pipeline. Then the president turns around and says they won't do anything. No the senate is not doing anything and it is not the fault of the Republicans so please do not TRY to say that I said something I did not say.
Vote according to how the people back home want it voted on but at least vote on something. We are not paying them to play political games. Let the senators be accountable for their voting to the people back home. Reid won't do it because HE would not like the outcome.
