Obama admin taken to court for recess appointments
Daily Caller ^ | 1-13-12 | Neil Munro

A right-to-work organization is taking the White House to court over the president’s controversial decision to install three new members on the National Board Relations board without Senate approval.

The legal challenge came after the three new members approved a legal response in an existing lawsuit. The plaintiffs asked the judge on Friday to rule that their participation is invalid because President Barack Obama did not have the authority to appoint them.

“We asked [the judge] to consider the question of whether they are constitutionally seated,” said Mark Mix, president of the National Right to Work Foundation.

Without legitimate appointments, they can’t participate in the lawsuit, Mix told The Daily Caller. And without their participation the board does have the quorum needed to implement the new regulations that the foundation opposes.

When the president installed the three officials on Jan. 4, he justified his move by saying the Senate was in recess.

The U.S. Constitution allows the president to bypass the usual Senate debate and vote to appoint officials when the Senate is in recess.

But “the Senate was never in recess, notwithstanding what the justice department has said,” Mix said.

By the time this actually gets to court, it will be to late. Either Obama will be out or he will be dictator.

Let’s see how the court determines that they don’t have standing to challenge his greatness.

I have read enough WWII books and seen enough history channel WWII presentations to realize that Obama is a Hitler in the making. His method of political insurgency seems to be a bit slower then Hitler, but the results will be the same.

The Election of 2012 will either prove me wrong or right.

He looks old in that picture. I wonder if he usually wears lots of makeup or something.

For what little humor can be found in our present situation, thanks.

Hussein’s cult doesn’t care.

If the cult wins in court, the behavior will continue.

If the cult loses in courts, the behavior will continue.

I love this move. Unfortunately, they will find a favorable federal judge to rule in their favor. Got to get Obama out of office. Any republican is better than he is. It will be years before we truly understand the damage he has done. Most of the damage is being done in those millions of federal jobs in DC.

They are not playing the same game. We are a country of laws and they are the lawless, therefore we need to find a way to fast track our slow system into prosecuting and convicting the lawless quickly and efficiently
