I'll side-step the editorializing about Daniel Pipes (though I won't disagree with writer of the message below).

However, to suggest that recess appointments are "unusual" or "only for emergencies" is to deny the bare-knuckle reality of Washington power politics. Presidents of both parties have used recess appointments solely to by-pass a stubborn or "bothersome" Congress.
