you congressional staffers really are pushovers that you’re so worried about not getting a whole one month vacation

This really would be an unacceptable breach of norms. Congressmen need to be back in their home districts to understand and cater to constituent needs!

You have no idea what you’re talking about. We’re underpaid and overworked. This is one of the few things we can look forward to on the Hill

Even if they go forward with this, it shouldn’t effect the house right?

Typical House rat. Also you probably need this before your LD fires you for writing shitty constituent letters: Effect Vs Affect

The Radical Left, Do-Nothing Democrats, and some RINOs are crying crocodile tears about canceling August Recess. Give me a break! We need to get our INCREDIBLE nominees confirmed to Make America Great Again. These are serious people, PATRIOTIC people, who will get the job done and reverse the damage of the last four years.

Why would anyone want to go on vacation when there’s so much work to do? We have a country to save! The people want action, not endless golf trips and fancy dinners. It’s called SERVICE, folks! Drain the Swamp! #MAGA #AmericaFirst #NoVacationForObstruction

I was going to say that there are already too many gag accounts here, but I can’t even tell if this is a fake post or not.

I’ve never been through a cancelled August recess before. How do most offices handle this if I already booked travel?

Depends on the office. One of my former staff directors made it clear that they never make anyone cancel travel that they received approval for.

My current SD on the other hand…I think there’s a good chance he makes the whole office cancel, even the staff assistants and interns.

Your current SD at least understands what it means to keep standards up

It’s just a part of the job. It’s a privilege to work here and you should understand that “other duties as assigned” includes the possibility of last minute changes to vacation schedules.

This is so stupid. Why are we doing this for judges?

I assume mostly because Trump keeps getting whooped in court. Not that this is a particularly efficient way of addressing that

Would this flip any courts? Not following the judicial portfolio closely.

I guess it could make a difference at the 3rd circuit. Would explain why he cares so much about getting Bove and Mascott on but not sure why we’d care about all the other judges.
