....just DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Conservative obstructionism has blocked votes on a wide variety of key presidential nominees in the Senate over the last year. All of the qualified nominees would be approved if given a vote, so the right has done everything possible to abuse procedural rules to prevent up-or-down consideration.

Sam Stein reported that seven judicial and political appointees will be re-nominated by the president, including Dawn Johnsen, who was nominated in March to head the Office of Legal Counsel, but who can't get a floor vote, in part because conservatives disapprove of her opposition to Bush-era torture memos.

The re-nominations can't formally happen until the Senate returns on Jan. 20

Of course, if the president really wanted to shake things up, he could use recess appointments and highlight their necessity in the face of a dysfunctional Senate process...."
