This morning on the Fox Nation there was an article posted with the title, “Obama Makes Dangerous Recess Appointment.”<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/center>
\n<\/p>\n

The funny thing about this posting is that when you click on it you are delivered to a page that doesn’t explain anything about what makes the President’s appointments dangerous. And if you venture further to read the article Fox Nation links to as its source, you’ll find yourself at The Hill’s Briefing Room blog<\/a> where it also says nothing about anything dangerous.<\/p>\n

The article at The Hill describes Obama’s decision to appoint a Justice Department official and a few ambassadors who have been held up by an obstructionist Republican Party in the Senate. There are still some 200 pending appointees that the GOP has refused to permit to move forward simply out of a desire to cripple this presidency. It is an unprecedented campaign of blocking the fulfillment of important positions in the judiciary and elsewhere in the administration. And it has a manifestly harmful effect on the country.<\/p>\n

Many in the conservative echo chamber are already blasting the President for “bypassing the Constitution”<\/em> in order to seat these appointees without a senate confirmation. Except that the authority to make recess appointments is explicitly granted to the President in the Constitution. However, blocking senate confirmation votes for executive appointees is not. That is a senate rule that will hopefully be dispensed with in the next congress.<\/p>\n

The phony outrage being ginned up on the right over this fails to acknowledge the fact that George W. Bush made 171 recess appointments. Ronald Reagan made 243. The hypocrites on the right would like those facts to be ignored. Like most facts for conservatives, they just get in the way. And the fact that the Fox Nationalists can run an item declaring something is dangerous without supporting the claim is just another example of their commitment to keeping their audience angry and dumb. And it is what is truly dangerous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
