An Interesting Bit of Gunwalker Speculation
There really isn't enough meat on this to even call it a theory, but it is an interesting inkling of an idea that Mad Saint Jack has come up with regarding President Obama's decision to skip the opportunity to use a recess appointment to give anti-gun Chicago ATF Agent Andrew Traver the top job in the agency.
Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed in a shootout with Mexican criminals armed with Gunwalker AK-pattern rifles on December 14.
If documentation exists—and that would be hugely speculative and extreemly unlikely—showing that the White House or senior Department of Justice management passed on the opportunity to appoint Traver as a result of Terry's murder, then all bets are off regarding the damage to the Presidency and the Attorney General.
This bears watching.
The problem is that for any other administration, this would be a big deal. But Obama is so imcompetent, it is just par for the course.

Did there need to be a recess between the 111th and 112th Congress?

Looks like you can stop an appointment by keeping the recess to 3 days or less.
But Reid was asking for a Recess Aptmt and the senate was in recess from January 17 - 23 and February 21 - 27.

Remember the new Chicago Chief of Police stating the gun problem is a Federal conspirarcy against Blacks. Wouldn't it be strange if the country's second Black President authorized Gunwalker USA. You have got to kill people to save people.
