Bullchit. Show me where Conservatives pulled this stunt with ignoring the 3-day gavel rule ?
If you don't want to hear it, then put your hands over your ears for chrissakes. Otherwise, I cannot help it that you can't handle the truth.
Honestly, it was a political ploy. Republicans will have to take Obama to court in order to prevent someone from protecting consumers from fraud and he knows it.
Senate rules are set by the Senate. And are largely extra-Constitutional. The arguments against Obama's appointments are obvious, but carry an expensive political price. He's laying down the gauntlet and challenging Republicans to say, "We don't want consumer protections against loan fraud and predatory lending."
The courts may side with Republicans, but that carries some potential damage. They've readily admitted that they don't dislike the guy. They just want to do whatever they can to prevent this organization for existing despite the fact that it is already encoded in law.
