Obama Uses Recess Appointment For Richard Cordray

squashed:

jerfrey:

Today, Barack Obama plans to defy congressional Republicans and give Richard Cordray a recess appointment to head the Consumer Financial Protection Agency. Senate Republicans had made it clear that they had no particular objections to Cordray, but simply were going to filibuster any nominee to head the agency until Obama agreed to partially repeal the law that created the agency. They then followed up with some procedural moves that they claimed made a recess appointment impossible but that administration lawyers say lets them do it.

This is good. This is very good.
