(Caveat...this was posted on "Think Progress" but the link went to "Washington Whispers" so this might not be TRUE...but a way to PUSH Reid to get his butt in gear ...because NetRoots KNOWS the CHIMP will play dirty and Reid needs to keep a Quorum in Place AT ALL TIMES DURING Recesses!)

Reid’s plan to block Bush’s recess appointments.

“Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has a little trick up his sleeve that could spell an end to President Bush’s devilish recess appointments of controversial figures like former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton.” U.S. News reports:

We hear that over the long August vacation, when those types of summer hires are made, Reid will call the Senate into session just long enough to force the prez to send his nominees who need confirmation to the chamber. The talk is he will hold a quickie “pro forma” session every 10 days, tapping a local senator to run the hall. Senate workers and Republicans are miffed, but Reid is proving that he’s the new sheriff in town.
