GOP can't block recess appointment of Elizabeth Warren.

[Cal33]

David Arkush of Public Citizen has written a letter to Pres. Obama informing him
with citations from the Constitution of the U.S. that the GOP cannot prevent
him from appointing anyone to any office during the coming recess.

I sure hope David Arkush is correct:

1. Warren is a bargaining chip... n/t

[arcane1]

4. Dammit, don't say that!

We don't have a good history when it comes to bargaining :(

[Cal33]

6. She could become a "bargain chip" only if Obama falls for it. The main point is if

David Arkush is correct. But, isn't Obama supposed to know? Wasn't
he teaching Constitutional Law?

[SDuderstadt]

2. He may just have it!

If so, that is great news.

3. But the question remains: Will the President have the stones (or the will) to do it?

I'll believe it when I see it.

15. There is a rumor -- and it is just that AFAIC -- that Obama is irked at Warren

for being something of a publicity seeker. I don't understand that, but my source is pretty good...
I can't see that, but perhaps I have rose colored glasses when it comes to Warren. I just love her. And even if she is a publicity seeker, she's the best kind. She's doing this for the public good, IMHO.

Ah, the world of Washington politics...

[Cal33]

16. And if the rumors are true, getting publicity might be a way for her to

carry her ideas through into success.

5. So if The President can prevent GOP from blocking adjornment - this is great!

The last time there was supposed to be a 'recess' the GOP blocked adjournment and the Senate had to go into 'pro-forma session' instead.

7. The Current Occupant

will not appoint anyone to regulate the banksters of whom the banksters do not approve.

That is all there is to it.

[Cal33]

11. Could he be THAT afraid of the banksters? I hope he will pull through

this time -- if David Arkush's information is accurate.

12. Yes, EXACTLY. nt

9. Hi Scuba, I think if you wrote a separate thread you'd have more readers, and

also more signatures for the petition.

10. Good idea, thanks.

[Raine]
