Good.
But I have to ask, why didn’t a GOPer from the Senate file a complaint ?

[WOBBLY BOB]

The is no justice. There’s just us.

[VikingMom]

Doing the work the Republican Congress won’t do!

[rockinqsranch]

Congress holds the purse strings which means Congress, the House specifically has the clout of the funding of the Presidents renegade activities, unless of course somehow the money stolen from the taxpayers since 2009 is being used by the Democrats to pay for their maverick governance.

Where’s that big stick House Speaker? Why is the Chicago Street Punk getting away with a long list of illegalities?

Somebody up there that we elected to Represent us had better start to do so.

[jazusamo]

Excellent question, I’d like to know too.

Why yes, yes they do. Makes one wonder why they refused to defund health care, like Bachman tried to get them to do.

Just me but I suspect they want it to go through just like it is.

[jazusamo]

Yep, the Chicago Street Punk is a bully and has the wimp Speaker buffaloed, they both need to be replaced.

Because they aren’t in session.

The National Right to Work Foundation filed a motion Friday that challenges the legality of President Obama’s recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)

Bet this suit gets thrown out because these folks have no "standing". The folks who have standing ( the House of Representatives GOP members) need to start impeachment proceedings based on violation of the Presidential Oath of Office to "uphold the Constitution of the United States."

[Deb]

Because the Congress is in “recess”. You know, that’s why they call it a “recess appointment”.

[upchuck]

I read someplace (wish I could remember where :) last week that it is written into the law creating the CFPB that the director MUST be approved by the Senate. Which, of course, he wasn’t. I wonder why nobody seems to be beating on this? Can somebody back me up? Was this in the law?

[jazusamo]

Well yes, according to the Street Punk in the WH but not according to Congress and Boehner should have been acting on Zer0’s usurping of Congress’ powers.

[Deb]

Stop it. The Congress is in “pro forma” session because they are in recess. Attacking Republicans for everything is really getting old.

[jazusamo]

Okay, putting the Republican issue aside what’s really getting old is Obama and his thugs running our government as they see fit, ignoring laws and precedent and at times flat breaking them.

Where are the checks and balances?

[Logical me]

About time. And it wouldn’t hurt to mention that possible impeachment.

I've been hearing that song for years now, and still nothing different ever happens.
