Justice Department memo argues Obama recess appointments were legal ....and when is Eric Holder ever wrong......?
Of course they are....!?....and I have a bridge in Brooklyn I could sell ya cheap!
The Department of Justice offered a defense Thursday for President Obama’s controversial decision to make several recess appointments while Congress was holding pro forma sessions.
In a memo, Justice argued the pro forma sessions held every third day in the Senate do not constitute a functioning body that can render advice and consent on the president’s nominees. It said the president acted consistently under the law by making the appointments.
