I get that point, Sam, the SC point, but, at least for me, the important point is the strategizing within the Obama administration. It's a complex mix of politics and policy, perhaps too complex to work. We'll see. My own guess, fwiw, is that the compelling argument, whatever the SC does, is that the fake recess argument can't be used to make agencies dysfunctional; and it might be worth arguing to stretch it, that the confirmation process simply can't be used for that function. Would be glad to hear that argued. But before a sensible SC. As for this respondent, I'm not taken with one line responses.
