    Congress has only done the budget process correctly 4 times since 1974! I appreciate @SenateMajLdr for hearing our call to cancel recess, so we can confirm nominees & do appropriations before fiscal yr (9/30). Its the only way to avoid another omnibus. http://goo.gl/1md3AL

        Its a political stunt & you know it. Only a native Texan thinks Oklahoman's are that dumb. Oh, and confirmation is so important now? Does the name Merrick Garland ring a bell? You can't wait to confirm the next Betsy Devos, can you? Believe me, TexanRed, we will remember.

        This recess cancellation is to screwed the American People before the GOP loses in November 2018! We know nominations are not important... remember Garland!

        Fair enough, I understand the process needs to be done, but would you go along if Dems were in charge and said this attention to protocol was necessary? We know the answer, it's what we saw for 8 years under Obama. We need bipartisan leadership or this ship will continue to sink.

        Sounds like you have been wasting our tax dollars for very long time. Regular people lose their jobs when done that poorly. But you get your salary, kick backs, healthcare, & a nice pension.

        Maybe Trump should nominate qualified people instead of crooks. Maybe ya’ll should have worked with Dems when you had a chance (Garland). Maybe this is your reckoning, Senator.

        You’ve had plenty of opportunities to get these things done, James. It takes more than showing up on Tuesday and leaving on Thursday. All this does is keep the Dems off the campaign trail, that’s how afraid you cowards are this time.

        Let me guess...the real reason you want to cancel recess is because you are afraid you will lose control of the senate and you won’t be able to confirm any more unqualified candidates!

        Maybe with all that extra time you could try to #KeepFamiliesTogether at the border, doing something to finally help Puerto Rico, protecting the Mueller investigation, and, most importantly, making sure Donald Trump knows he is NOT above the law. Stand up for the rule of law

        You campaigned as a deficit hawk, then voted to give the richest of the rich tax breaks which add trillions to the deficit. Now you and your fellow GOP con artists wanna cut Medicare, Medicaid, & Social Security to pay for those tax breaks. Oklahomans deserve better, sir.

        so we can confirm nominees....Oh how soon you forget. Remember Merrick Garland? You lost the right to say anything about nominees, you hypocrite. Believe me, we will be sure to remind you of your terrible treatment of Merrick Garland. A man far & above you & the @GOP sir.
