Nope. Eisenhower used recess appointments to put Warren, Brennan, and Stewart on the job at SCOTUS. The Senate did subsequently confirm them all for permanent duty. The bigger impediment to judicial recess appointments these days is that Senate pro forma sessions technically prevent it from going into recess when it’s in the hands of the opposition.

Well, I’m not entirely sure DeSantis represents optimism on my part. I think he’s a much stronger candidate against Biden - the old and decrepit argument against Biden didn’t work when the other guy was an out of shape orange 70+ year old man. The contrast on stage with a baby boomer Iraq war vet will be stark.

DeSantis is Gen X.

The only people who don’t know Lindz is gay are either dead or comatose.

I don’t want to presume. But I will definitely point and laugh if his Grindr account gets hacked.

I’m not being presumptuous.

My gaydar has been deadly accurate for over 50 years now, and every time Graham speaks or moves it goes crazy.

If he isn’t gay, then neither was Paul Lynde or Franklin Pangborn.

Do you mean there’s technically no way to do it, or that dems would never push it? I suspect the latter, but curious if you have a technical reason.

Not a huge surprise. The FBI basically goaded a group of dipshits into concocting a dimwitted fantasy narrative that obviously was never going anywhere. Then the lead agent got fired for beating on his wife.

Jackson’s Family Arrives To Applause

Coons snapped a shot of Jackson’s parents walking to their seats.

I might have put Chris’ name in there to distinguish this from the inevitable Proud Boys facebook post.

In that case, my hot take is that Kyrsten Sinema is lying about being bisexual.

Neither of them come close to L’il Lindsay.

I would imagine that she’s dined at the Y a few times, just so she can make that spurious claim.
