I think they should approves of the president’s unaffirmed appointments. After all, it’s not SCOTUS’s job to repair the damage resulting from the citizens’ electoral choices.

Scalia:

“You don’t really think we’re going to go back and rip out every (decision made),”

Why the hell not? Those decisions, every one of them were made in violation of the constitution, nothing they did should be considered binding or legal... EVERY SINGLE ACT they performed should be invalidated. I know its a pragmatic nightmare to do that, but that’s what should be done.

If the High Court fails to put a stop to this, I’d say we’re done for.

Under the narrow ruling, more than 300 appointments since 1981 would not have been authorized, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service.

I would like to know how many of those are Reagan and Bush noms, and how many are Slick Willy and Obozo. My guess is despite having been in office less time, Slick and Obonghit have made many more recess appointments that fall into the unconstitutional category.

The court can only rule on the specific appointments in front of them. It may have a ripple/trickle down effect but that’s not their concern. They are truly above all that. These can be distinguished and probably will be as being during “pro-forma” sessions. The key issue is who decides when the Senate is in session, the Senate does.

Recess appointments are not in any jeopardy.

The only issue is whether the Supreme Court will permit blatantly unconstitutional "They are in Recess Because The King Says They are in Recess" appointments.

Geez, I really hate to throw cold water all over this but I absolutely do NOT trust this Supreme Court to do the right thing and rule Dictator Hussein’s recess appointments unconstitutional. Unfortunately, we’ve seen this crap before where each of the justices appear highly skeptical of the arguments brought before them (remember how they all verbally lampooned the defense’s arguments regarding Obamacare’s individual mandate, only to inexplicably end up ruling it Constitutional??). Sorry, but the Supreme Court has made so many HORRENDOUS decisions in recent years that it’ll probably always be forever tarnished in my eyes. I have ZERO faith in the U.S. judicial branch at this point.

The Hill: another administration mouthpiece. They talk about our Court as “wading in.” We’re the ones wading in when we confront their pronouncements.

Big deal. Looks like even the Liberal Justices are on board with this. Won’t mean much.

What we SHOULD be screaming about is the SCOTUS denial of cert in the AZ abortion case. This is drivel. That is a catastrophe.

Does this mean we get to undo three years worth of decisions and acts committed by these pretenders?
