UVA law professor Saikrishna Prakash, an expert in constitutional law, constitutional theory and presidential powers: "I think this is a hard question, one clouded by the politics of the moment. The whole dispute turns on whether the Senate is actually in recess. During the Bush administration, the Senate seems to have adopted the practice of using sham sessions as a means of preventing the president from making a recess appointment. This practice continued under President Obama. like most things the dems started this crap.
