I suspect that's what Cheeto wants now, more than ever -- he's planning to make as many recess appointments as possible next month, with a new AG at the top of his wish list.

Right now he's apparently trying to push Sessions to resign, but I suspect he'll fire Sessions if he can't pressure him to step down.

1. Great find.

2. We cannot stop this fascist pig without the help of the GOP and they are not going to help.

Just please remember in 2018 to GOTV and remember which party cares so little about the USA that it is willing to give our democracy (flawed as it may be) away to Russia and Putin and the other oligarchs of the world.

3. Can't the Dems copy the GOP playbook and keep one person in the House & Senate ?

Isn't that how they prevented Obama from doing recess appointments ? Excuse my ignorance of Parliamentary rules.

4. I don't think that's possible with Republicans in the majority.

Such decisions seem to be made by the majority leadership, unfortunately.

5. The dems did that under Bush too

Unfortunately, I don't think it will work unless you have the House and the Senate
