I don't doubt Tribe has more brains than I do, but as a constitutional scholar, he's very much of the school of the "living" constitution.  Or, the constitution only means what we want it to mean when we want it to mean that.

If we accept Tribe's interpretation, that means the President not longer needs Senate approval for appointments.  Be careful what you wish for...

As for me, I'll go by the document that Tribe is bored with:  "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."

I love this.. this 'lving document' thing you've decided is a new 'insult'.. HA!

guess you're one of those  people who don't think women should be able to vote and blacks are only three-fifths of a white man..huh

the fact that it's been 'interpreted' by thousands of TPTB since it's inception proves it's a 'living document', if it wasn't.. there'd be no need to 'interpret' anything..

but you go on with your newly found libertarian pov..

Facts are the center. We don’t pretend that certain facts are in dispute to give the appearance of fairness to people who don’t believe them.  Balance is irrelevant to me.  It doesn’t have anything to do with truth, logic or reality. ~Charlie Skinner (the Newsroom)
