Senate Republicans have cut a deal with Democrats that will prevent President Obama from making recess apointments while Congress adjourns to go home and campaign, the Hill reports. Under the terms of the deal, the Senate will hold pro forma sessions twice a week, because Obama can only make recess appointments if the Senate is in recess for more than three days.

Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

Ah, too bad. Now Van Jones and Bill Ayers can't get their two-year federal judge seats.

Isn't a little late in the game after numerous appointees to top positions byBHO have created a super culture of bureaucracies with many more gov't employees?? Not to mention the injury to the economy and national security of our great nation with the ability to impose yet more gov't regulations with too much assumed power. Point: moratorium on drilling in the Gulf with no end in sight. Today it was stated that the moratorium would be lifted "when" they (the gov't) feel secure that it is safe to drill. So for now they continue to deny oil drilling permits as oil & natural gas rigs go idle and very skilled people in the Gulf lose more jobs all by design. That date "when" sounds very open ended to me or maybe it is the 12th of never to them. This non-sense does not fit into our plan to get the economy back on track where we need Jobs-Jobs-& more Jobs!
