They will be voted out. There is only so long the chamber of commerce and business round table can rule the USA.

DONT GET PISSED AND VOTE DEMOCRAT by sitting out elections. IT WILL BE FAR FAR WORSE. .

Thune needs to be ousted as Leader.

He's literally not a leader. He's a wrench in the gears of our majority held Congress.

Is there any legal basis for Pro Forma sessions? My understanding is that they were started when W was president and they stuck because he never challenged them.

Recess appointments are a Constitutionally defined power of the Presidency. Pro Forma sessions are a Senate rule. Also, does the Constitution say "Senate" or "Congress" in that section?

Trump should make some minor appointments and see if they want to fight about it.

Direct elections of Senators by the populace was a mistake.
