to fire Sessions and appoint a new AG.
They are making those threats that he will have hell to pay if he uses the privilege of the 'recess appointment'.
I'm thinking that they are idle threats. If they really don't want Trump to use the 'recess appointment' in this manner - they were real effective in preventing President Obama from utilizing the 'recess appointment'.
If they really feel that Trump will use the 'recess appointment' to his advantage - the Repugs have the tools to put in place - just like they did for Obama - and prevent Trump from doing this.
They can stay in session and prevent 'recess appointments'.

(1,128 posts)The democrats are threatening to filibuster the adjournment motion which needs to pass for the Senate to adjourn. This will keep Senate in Pro Forma Sessions and thus no recess appointments possible. Per CCN, Obama made recess appointments anyway and the Supreme Court ruled them unconstitutional.

The Repugs are talking tough - but the Dems - through the filibuster - will keep Congress open.
I didn't believe that McConnell would initiate preventing recess appointments. He's too afraid of Trump. He caves under Trumps bullying.
