From Rich Lowry in NR:

Chuck Grassley has said that a new attorney general won’t be confirmed by the senate, and it’s been made clear, by Ben Sasse among others, that the senate is not going into recess to avoid creating the opportunity for a recess appointment. This means if Trump wants to fire and replace Sessions with someone who isn’t recused, he’d have to rely on an acting attorney general, and someone who is not the naturally next-in-line, Rob Rosenstein. I guess this is possible, but it would be a truly jerry-rigged scheme that would create an enormous political backlash. The senate obviously can’t stop Trump from firing Sessions, but it has made it harder.

Is congress going to start thinking about doing their jobs that were abandoned decades ago?

America is becoming great again!

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

Heh.

I have no time for Jeff Sessions but if he sticks this out I may have to reconsider.
