Re: One leetle problem with Sept. 7 Joint Session of Cong - ASIDE from the Repub deba
Thats the game the Republicans are playing. Congress is still officially in session. They meet every few days. Remember the Senate meeting after the earthquake? Something like 5 Senators, and the session was clocked at 22 seconds. But that is enough to mean they are officially in session.
Here is the House's August 30th schedule (4 minutes):
