I didn't say I was impressed; just intrigued. I wonder if it hurts them to be forced to follow common sense.WowThe Senate blocked President Trump from being able to make recess appointments on Thursday as lawmakers leave Washington for their summer break.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), doing wrap up for the entire Senate, locked in nine "pro-forma" sessions — brief meetings that normally last roughly a minute.
The move, which requires the agreement of every senator, means the Senate will be in session every three business days throughout the August recess.
The Senate left D.C. on Thursday evening with most lawmakers not expected to return to Washington until after Labor Day.

I thank the Senate for that. Mueller should be safe from the wrath of Trump.
I have to say that this GOP led congress has impressed me somewhat. I had assumed they would bow to the alt-right, but instead they're doing what they think is right for the nation. I'm intrigued.
While I wouldn't give them that much praise - I applaud them for this.
Probably. I also give them credit for not trusting Trump on the sanctions bill - which they forced him to sign.
Poor Trump getting blocked from all angles..
