Interesting look at the gamesmanship currently underway in our Congress. While we hear from the Right that President Obama has dismissed a congressional tradition with these Pro-Forma sessions, this perhaps help explain why he did a recess appointment and bypassed this body.
If the point is that the Senate/House are still in session, thereby making recess appointments illegal, then how is it that no business is to be conducted during these sessions? How does that serve the public good? It doesn't.
Obama's appointments may fall under judicial review, but in terms of populist appeal, he's winning this battle big time in the court of public opinion...
