President Obama just made 15 recess appointments. And Senate Republicans are already whining. In a couple of cases, the relevant committees could do their vetting faster; if GOP obstructionism is holding this up, look in the mirror.
In the case of Craig Becker, it's pure partisan politics that has held him up. And, in the Department of Labor, I'm actually pretty pleased with what's happening there.
That said, if the GOP wants to take this as a reason to be more obstructionist, I hope Dawn Johnson is on the next round of recess appointments.
