From the President's meeting with the Senate Democrats, Sen. Pat Leahy asks about the GOP obstructing the President's judicial nominations and what can be done about it. As President Obama noted, it's not just judicial nominations that are being stalled, but all of them. He promised to reach out to Republicans and make getting nominations through a "priority". Yeah, like that's going to work. When President Buah wanted to get some horrid appointment through that the Democrats didn't want, like say John Bolton, he did a recess appointment. If the Republicans are going to continue to obstruct the way they have been, I'd like to see President Obama finally say enough is enough and do the same thing. It's not like they aren't going to call him every name in the book anyway for playing nice with them.
