A third federal appeals court ruled Wednesday that President Obama violated the Constitution last year when he made recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board, adding more weight to the case as it goes before the Supreme Court in the justices’ next session.

The Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 2-1 decision, said that the president can only make recess appointments after Congress has adjourned “sine die,” which in modern times has meant when it breaks at the end of each year.

The GOOBers pulled Barry’s chestnuts out of the fire. The Constitution doesn’t mean anything to them either.

When will our military or my President Putin arrest Obama for crimes against our Constitution?

No big deal. The DOJ (re:Holder) looks the other way. Will try to overturn the court somehow.

When the Senate is in “real” recess, the House is notified of such. When did the Senate tell the House it was in recess? Oh, that’s right....it DIDN’T.

I guess Obama will have to go the Reichstag fire route.

With “Justice” Roberts on the case Obama can’t lose.

Obama is certainly an expert constitutional law professor.
