Republicans should familiarize themselves with a little case called NLRB v. Noel Canning, which was a *unanimous* loss for the Obama administration, when they tried to get cute about whether Congress was in session.
Also, there& #39;s something hilariously silly about threatening to adjourn Congress because Congress isn& #39;t working fast enough.

Republicans, you can only pick one:
(1) The Democrats won& #39;t vote on a bill for desperately-needed COVID-19 relief for small business.

Guys, the House is not out of session right now. They& #39;re holding pro forma sessions every few days.
Again, this is the sort of cutesy crap that the Obama administration tried, which got slapped down by a unanimous SCOTUS. https://twitter.com/DewayneSpell/status/1250550772225454080">https://twitter.com/DewayneSp...

Republicans, at some point the Democrats are going to retake the White House.
Just remember that every hair-brained abuse of office you approve of now can, at some point, be used against you.
Make good choices!
