The Times On Obama's Recess Appointments - Republicans Made Him Do It

"The NY Times pretends to examine the legal and Constitutional issues surrounding Obama's recent recess appointments. They include this "the devil made him do it" howler in the second paragraph:

Senate Republicans had been using procedural rules and filibusters to block or delay the confirmation of nearly 200 agency nominations, leaving vital positions vacant and neutralizing agencies they did not like. That compelled Mr. Obama to escalate matters further on Wednesday, making recess appointments even though the Senate was technically not in recess."
