At the very least the recess should be cancelled.

None of us could refuse to do our jobs like the Senate is doing now and not get fired. We are still at war and have no CIA director and a lame duck Sec of Defense. And now the Senate is going on break? Hell no. No vacation until you do your job. If Reid won't call them back then Obama should.

for something else, or some other agreement has been made, and I can't figure out what it is. I don't know what the game is here, besides the fact that the optics are bad on every side. Not saying they're going to definitely confirm him, just that something is up.
