Recess!

The Hill has a good post on the potential of recess appointments to the NLRB. Unless the Senate acts to confirm the three pending nominations (it wont), the NLRB will only have 2 members at the end of the year. All 47 Republican Senators have sent a letter to the President asking him to reject recess appointments. Randy Johnson, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s senior vice president of labor, immigration and employee benefits notes, "I doubt the president would go forward because it would poison the well in the Senate.”
