"Carney declined to say if the administration planned to appeal, referring questions about next steps to the Department of Justice."

Justice Department: "do it anyway. We don't need no stinkin' Constitution."

Since this is basically all about Unions....wouldn’t be surprised if it was deliberate....so Obama could operate with a Csar (no Senate approval necessary)...behind closed doors.

The press did not much cover this when it happened, and they won’t much cover it now, except to explain how the judges just don’t get it.

See, Obama is a god.

Implications of the decision are still being sorted out. One potential result raised immediately was that by invalidating the labor board appointments, the decision may have effectively invalidated all the board’s work since they were made, including orders and regulations issued. The NLRB and the White House expressed confidence that this would not happen. “This court decision does not effect this operation, their ability to function,” Carney said.

The decision also puts into question the appointment of Richard Cordray to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. That appointment was made at the same time as the NLRB appointments.

Carney said it also argued that the decision will have “no bearing” on Cordray, adding “It simply doesn’t as a legal matter.”

TRANSLATION: We're going to completely ignore the federal court and proceed as planned.

Because no one can stop us.

ROFLMAO! I loved the commentary at HuffPo. Basically they think the President should be able totell the Senate when it is and isn’t in session.

The administrations response to any challenge is now: "What difference does it make?"

Yep, I knew this would be the reaction.
They’ll ignore the ruling,

because no one WILL stop them.

No one will step up and enforce this decision.

So ... do the illegal appointees have to repay their salaries?

Or do the misappropriated funds Obama’s personal responsibility?

Here’s an article from the WA Post by Ed Meese from January 2012 that explains the recess appointments and gives some history.

Basically they think the President should be able totell the Senate when it is and isn’t in session.

They probably got that idea from here:

Article II, Section 3:

He shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of the union, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in case of disagreement between them, with respect to the time of adjournment, he may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper;

We have to ensure that this debate is framed properly.

The White House is saying that the Senate was not technically in session, and that one or two Republicans gaveling in a session for 5 minutes is not enough.

That argument is a red-herring for several reasons.

1. Congress gets to define when it is in session, not the president.

2. Most importantly, the Senate is not a lone actor in this. The Constitution requires that both chambers agree to a recess of more than 3 days, and the House did not agree. The House remained in session, which required the Senate to remain in session, too.

The debate must be about how the House remaining in session required the Senate to remain in session, too. That means that the pro forma Senate session was NOT a gimmick. It was a Constitutional requirement.

The House has just as much to say about when the Senate is in session as the Senate does. The president has NO say as to when CONGRESS is in session.
