Rep. Diane Black Will Prove Congress Isn't In Recess As Soon As She Returns From Recess

Psst......Buddy.......mebbe you and the ignorant libs should learn some civics. (notice how I separated you from the ignorant ones?) HTH


Pro forma confusion at White House

The White House seemed confused over which chamber it is dealing with when it comes to the controversial recess appointments President Obama made last week.

Twice on Thursday — in a Twitter message and again in the daily press briefing — officials pointed to the House being out of session.

"I believe on the House majority leader’s website today it said the House was not in recess — I mean, not in session," said Jay Carney, the press secretary.

The only problem with that is that the House is irrelevant to recess appointments. The only question that matters is whether the Senate is in session.

I would say Jonathan Bernstein, the Huffington Post and you yourself (for posting such irrelevant drivel) need a civics course. It's the SENATE, not the House, that needs to be in recess for a recess appointment to be legal. You folks, in your zeal to show how stupid some republican congresswoman is, instead showed just how stupid you are.

lol

(Edit: I now see that others have made this point to you. Dumb stuff like this doesn't make it past this crowd, Buddy.)
