Filibuster Reform Puts A Twist On SCOTUS Recess-Appointment Case:
The Supreme Court is set to hear a major case next Monday about the president's power to temporarily appoint nominees when the Senate is not conducting business. And while the case may suddenly be less consequential in the near-term after Senate Democrats eliminated the 60-vote threshold for most nominees, it still carries important implications.
If the Obama administration loses this case, potential chaos awaits: an unknowable number of executive actions could be invalidated.
