The pretend outrage on recess appointments is quite the crock. It has hinged for years on a number of things, including the definition of what is meant by recess. If congress isn't in recess, why won't it allow discussion on all of the items before it. If it is in recess, then the appointments are constitutional. Pick one.

On the NDAA, it doesn't smell right. I don't get what the point of it is, and I also don't get why it sailed through both the House and Senate on the way to Obama. It was
broadly supported by both parties in both chambers, with only minor amendments along the way. (Senate was 86 for, 13 against, 1 abstention; House was 322 for, 96 against, 13 abstentions)
