... Republicans, in their legal filing, said sometimes legislation is passed in those pro forma sessions, and said Mr. Obama has signed some of those bills — which they said indicated he accepts that those are legitimate sessions.

Democrats had actually pioneered the technique of pro forma sessions under President George W. Bush, using them to try to deny him the chance to make recess appointments. Mr. Bush never tested his powers.

But this year, after Mr. Obama did use his powers, Democrats reversed course and said he was justified.

Of course they did.

And guess which attorney was hired by the Republicans ..... Miguel Estrada.  POW!
