Not with the DLC in charge... no way. May as well admit it folks. The GOP is still in the majority with the DLC in our way.

6. Did the DLC take control in the last few weeks? |
|
they had one Senator there each day to gavel open a pro-forma session during Thanksgiving, so as to prevent recess appointments.
The DLC hysteria here is out of control. It's like Skull & Bones in 2004.

it was meant for cases when the congress was gone for months at a time, to fill vacancies that had to be filled. It wasn't meant for use during a long weekend or a holiday break.
I hope they'll do what they did over Thanksgiving, and have one Senator gavel open a pro-forma session each day.
