Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) announced Tuesday that the Senate will delay the August recess as senators scramble to catch up with a GOP agenda that is months behind schedule.
“In order to provide more time to complete action on important legislative items and process nominees that have been stalled by a lack of cooperation from our friends across the aisle, the Senate will delay the start of the August recess until the third week of August," McConnell said.
Senators had been scheduled to leave town at the end of July and not return to Washington until early September.
With the change, the Senate will now work the first two weeks in August, with the break starting on Aug. 14.

They should all be locked in an un-air conditioned room until they pass an Obamacare REPEAL.

OK kids, no recess until you clean up your mess. Class has to stay indoors until you learn your manners.

Poor babies! Actually having to act like they are doing their jobs for a couple of weeks more than planned! Sad! /s

They haven't needed a recess since the advent of Air Conditioning.

I have the opposite opinion. The sooner they get out of DC the sooner they stop screwing up the country.
They should take a permanent vacation. We'll do just fine without them.

Sorry Frank but they actually do have constitutional duties and they need to be made to perform them!

'SomeONE has been chewing gum. There will be no recess until I find out who.'
We were a pretty solid lot.
If they didn't fess up, we would take care of it later.
(The fat kid would 'trip' and fall on 'em playing marbles or something like that...)

I think they're all relieved they won't have to come face-to-face with constituents.

That was back in the day when the walk to school was 10 miles long. Uphill...both ways and those 36 inch suckers were made out of real hardwood. None of this namby pamby balsa wood looking stuff they pass off today as a ruler at Home Depot today. My Nuns used carve notches in theirs after each whack. I had a good 1/3 of that ruler marked off in 1/4 inches devoted to little ole me. I would have made the full yard had I not been promoted to the next grade and got a lay teacher. She was some hippy liberal fresh out of the U of W who didn't believe in corporal punishment or some such nonsense...
