Dawn Johnsen May Receive Recess Appointment, Perhaps Supreme Court Seat

Barry has been trying to get this radical pro-abort confirmed for a long time. Fortunately, the Republicans have been able to hold it up.

Dawn Johnsen has been on the top of the list of pro-abortion appointees from President Barack Obama that the pro-life movement has opposed. Now, it appears Johnsen, who could become a top assistant attorney general who advises Obama on legal matters, could receive a recess appointment.

Meanwhile, conservatives Ken Blackwell and Ken Klukowski, write in a new editorial that Obama could be grooming Johnsen for an appointment to either the Supreme Court or the most influential appeals court in the nation. I doubt that...the Senate won't confirm her for that either.

Republicans, joined by Nebraska Democrat Ben Nelson, have been successful in holding off Johnsen's nomination with a filibuster.

As a result, Obama told reporters this week that he may consider appointing Johnsen via a recess appointment. The Senate would still have to confirm her when they return. She'd only be temporary.


“I respect the Senate’s role to advise and consent, but for months, qualified, non- controversial nominees for critical positions in government, often positions related to our national security, have been held up she IS controversial because she is such a radical pro-abort leftist despite having overwhelming support,” Obama said. If she had such 'overwhelming' support, she'd be confirmed. :)

“If the Senate does not act …, I will consider making several recess appointments during the upcoming recess because we can't afford to let politics stand in the way of a well functioning government,” Obama said.
