    The libs plus one moderate actually were completely incorrect on this ruling, except for their agreement that Obama violated even the liberal SCOTUS' judges non-standard. Mark Levin was fit to be tied tonight.

    The right way to do appointments that respects both the president's right to make timely appointments (no holding appointees hostage) and the senate's right to provide informed consent (no sneaking appointees in without senate approval) is:

    The president appoints who he wants, when he wants.

    If the senate is in session, the senate has 30 days to give a yea-or-nay. No action means the appointment is approved. The appointee takes office when approved or at the end of the 30 days.

    If the senate is not in session, the appointee takes office immediately. THe senate has 30 days from when it returns to session to give a yea-or-nay. No action means the appointment is approved. The appointee is removed immediately if the senate votes nay.
