It's nice to see that the Senate won't permit the Decider to make recess appointments during this Thanksgiving holiday. The Democrats have convened the Senate in pro forma session so that Dumbya can't pull an end-run and appoint various turkeys to high positions. Recess appointees in the past have included the neocon nutjob John "Screw Loose" Bolton to the U.N, and Sam "Swift Boat" Fox, who funded the notorious Swift Boat attacks on John Kerry, as ambassador to Belgium. Among other key appointments, there are numerous judges waiting for Senate confirmation, and the concern was that the Decider would appoint some horrifically bad ones to the bench.
