How about the Catholic church? Or is all the hubbub about sex-predator priests just hearsay?

How dull-witted would one have to be to not understand that, Daryll?

The constitution states:
Section 2 – Civilian Power over Military, Cabinet, Pardon Power, Appointments

The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.

THE VACANCY DID NOT OCCUR DURING THE RECESS. IT WAS ALREADY OPEN – THUS MUST GO THROUGH THE CONFIRMATION PROCESS.

CONGRESS – TAKE IT TO COURT.

The purpose of this provision was because the original Congress were part time and lived in freakin 1776 – When it took a week to ride from Georgia to Philadelphia and they were not a full time legistlators in full time sessions.

In fact I believe they only meet once a year at that time.
