Republicans to Filibuster Their Own President to Support Him
Senate Democrats seek to invoke an obscure provision that compels the President to send recess appointees back to the full Senate for an up-or-down vote.

Thus Sam Fox, appointed April 4th during the Congress' week-long vacation, will be sent back to the Senate for confirmation, forcing Republicans led by scumbag Mitch McConnell to filibuster their own President's nominee or let their party usffer a huge defeat in an open vote.

So for all of you who bitched that Congressional Democrats had lost their nerve, be assured they are back on the warpath.!!!!!
