The senators won?t miss their turkey, but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will open the Senate for a pro-forma session and twice again next week.
The reason is that the Democrats don?t trust President Bush. They fear that he will use his power to make recess appointments of candidates who have been unable to muster sufficient support in Congress to win confirmation. No recess, no recess appointments.
When a president goes out of his way to poke his political rivals with a stick, he can hardly blame their leader for taking the view that one good technicality in Senate procedure deserves another.
