Brief 1: One option that a president has to get some of his controversial nominees appointed is to wait for Congress to recess and then is able to appoint them to a limited term. I remember celebrating W’s recess appointment of John Bolton as U.N. ambassador. Obama stired controversy on recent recess appointments because Congress was not actually in recess.

I know what you are thinking…Liberals seem to abhor religion and will stop at nothing to denigrate the beliefs of others. Their absolute worship of the anti-religion in and of itself is a religion. I cannot say that they are atheists outright, but many of them maintain only loose ties to the religion in which their parents raised them. I differentiate those from people like me who are believers and live the faith, but don’t like to go to church.
