From your quote:  
“Instead, the court stopped short of limiting recess appointments to remote periods and circumstances, as a federal appeals court had ruled last year. It said simply that 72 hours is not long enough to qualify as a recess; 10 days, it said, would be more like it.”

I like **Giraffe** ’s statement and am considering using it as a signature, a replacement for “Cite?” or a tattoo (after translating it into Japanese).
