		<description>&lt;p&gt;Recess is a privilege, and to get it takes responsibility. They haven’t been, they don’t get a recess, but don’t tell them until the last minute. Piss ‘em off good!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-840772&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;BigMitch @ 61&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-840768&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Steve-AR @ 58&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last month, I thought I read that Reid said that was the plan. If he doesn’t do it, I guess the Dems told him to F-off.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thinking out loud, here. What if he made a deal with the White House not to do it, so that Gonzo could resign, and W could make a recess appointment? Would that be a good thing?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think the Ds in the Senate should lie in wait for Gonzales to resign and then leap back into session.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;CAN Bush make ‘non-traditional’ recess appointments by violating the 10-day period? Yeah, he can. Everything of that sort that he does weakens him further. Can he simply install a new AG? Hilarious. I wish he would.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(sorry about screwing up the quoting above)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;To do otherwise is to abandon the Constitution, right here, right now.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, by now it may be a foregone conclusion, regardless of what the Democrats do or don’t do, that the Constitution is finished. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wow, just exactly how panic-stricken do you expect people to be?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bushco DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH POWER LEFT to make their barks into bites.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They LOVE scaring you, though. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Constitution is not falling. The rightwing made some disgusting inroads into their plans to wreck it and the country for profit, and now their time is pretty much run. Can they attack Iran? Yes, they can, and there isn’t much that can be done. Can they destroy a US city and declare martial law? Yeah, they can — but that martial law would last a week, if that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The more disaffiliated you are, the more fearmongering you do. There’s a message in there somewhere.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;It is very surprising to see how ignorant the commenters are of Reid’s ALREADY COMMUNICATED plan of &lt;b&gt;reopening the Senate every ten days&lt;/b&gt; throughout the summer break, thus preventing any recess appointments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You know, Reid and Pelosi lay out their calendar IN JANUARY. Apparently people have only now realized there is an August recess. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whether or not there should be one this year is a separate issue. Leader Reid already clarified MONTHS AGO that recess appointments during August would not be possible. At the time, he said that new Senators would do the duty of keeping the Senate ‘open.’ (I can’t find a link to this information, but he HAS addressed this).&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Obviously the Democrats &lt;b&gt;must &lt;/b&gt;cancel summer leave by staying in session continuously. In addition, they need to continue doing &lt;b&gt;all-night sessions&lt;/b&gt;, at least one a week. To do otherwise is to abandon the Constitution, right here, right now.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, by now it may be a foregone conclusion, regardless of what the Democrats do or don’t do, that the Constitution is finished. Nevertheless, if the Democrats don’t stay in session, continue with all-night sessions and otherwise exercise every single power available to them, they are as complicit in the destruction of the Constitution as any Republican who takes his or her marching orders from Cheneym, Bush and Gonzales.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;that’s 1,164 signs on freeways since Jan. 1st.  people still ask me if it’s legal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We all need to put those in our frontyards. Tomorrow. Big, giant ones. Spell impeach on the roof so the news helicopters will see it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rooftop blogging..  a fantastic idea. Not only news choppers.. also Google earth would start “advertising” the message.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And Scarlett.. well… amazing what you’ve started.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I knew I’d heard about those plans somewhere.&lt;br /&gt;
 I wouldn’t put anything past little Mr. Le Loi, C’est Moi, though.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
