[MrB]

How about reviewing the fraudulent BC while they’re at it?

Just for argument’s sake...why were recess appointments fine for earlier Presidents but not for Obama?

[gaijin]

Already used SigInt intercepts to bully Roberts inti Obamacare...

Gisv I WONDER what will come of this...

[edcoil]

“The case sets up a high-stakes Supreme Court fight between the other two branches of government.”

God a vast fortune is spent by the taxpayer in efforts to protect itself simply from its “three equal” branches of government.

This is truly sad and out of hand.

[BAW]

Excellent news.

[moovova]

Obama's Supreemies say...

President Obama made three so-called recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) while the Senate was not in recess. These appointments were unprecedented—no other president has made recess appointments while the Senate was in session.

[Cicero]

What difference does it make? He’ll just blackmail Roberts again.

[Alex in chains]

All presidents have had the authority to make recess appointments when Congress is adjourned.

Obama did it while Congress was NOT adjourned.

[fatnotlazy]

Sounds like cowardice to me.

It's not whether recess appointments are acceptable.

It's about what constitutes a recess. The Senate never officially recessed, but Obama basically declared they were in recess and made the appointments.

Because Baraq made his while the Senate was not in recess. End of argument.

Yup. His reply will always be “yes, master obama.”

[txrangerette]

You didn’t hear about what Obama did? He declared the senate to be in recess, when it wasn’t. Because only the senate can declare itself in recess. Obama declared it was, anyway, and appointed people he wanted. A lower federal court than SCOTUS already weighed in and said it was unconstitutional/illegal, but Obama blew off the ruling and those people still sit in their appointive jobs today.

[hattend]

Thanks for the clarification

I had forgotten the details.

[autumnraine]

Because they were made while Congress was in session (so not recess) and just called ‘recess appointments.’

Earlier recess appointments were made when congress was in actually in recess. Obama did it while congress was not in recess. In other words he appointed who he wanted outside the law and through down a challenge to the other branches to do something about it. If he wins this without repercussions, he is truly a dictator.

[NonValueAdded]

It’s about freaking time ... where are the other challenges to the unconstitutional actions of the Obama regime? the pace is glacial.
