Chai Feldblum
While the Senate is in recess, President Barack Obama used his power to make appointments to break a the Republican filibuster of his nominees.
Among those appointed was Chai Feldblum, a lesbian, as one of five members of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Feldblum is a Georgetown University law professor.
The White House made 15 recess appointments. He has 77 awaiting action on the floor of the Senate.
Recess appointments are only for one year and must come up for Senate approval the following year.
Right on with this story but is the media drumming this up to be bigger than it really is? I mean I am so sick of this hysterical reaction to plain congressional hullabaloo that happens almost every year… just like deem and pass and reconciliation, check the story on the Bush vs Obama usage of recess appointments you’ll be surprised when you get the facts
