Recess Orals (Quick Take)
Starting from Adam Serwer's quick reaction tweet, talk is that the recess case is looking bad for Obama. Two things. (1) As to the Senate controlling things, they do -- THEY had announced "no business" when this occurred. (2) Obama rarely used the power anyway, lack of a NLRB quorum vs. a Republican attempt to nullify the law pushing him to do so here. The change of the filibuster rule is what concerns him the most. On some level, he won the war.
