quote[Democrats are refusing to be made turkeys over the holidays by a lame duck president, a capitol newspaper reports.
"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has decided to keep the chamber in session over the Thanksgiving break to block President Bush from making any unsavory recess appointments while Senators are out of town," Erin P. Billings reports for Roll Call.
Reid explained Friday, "With the Thanksgiving break looming, the administration informed me that they would make several recess appointments. I indicated I would be willing to confirm various appointments if the administration would agree to move on Democratic appointments."
"They would not make that commitment," the Senate Majority Leader added.]
Awesome!
