We all have watched SCOTUS work hard
to estroy America by ignoring
that to which they swore Allegience.

And in every case they will come down on the side of the left. The fix is in, folks. It’s a kangaroo court.

Which is really strange since it is the most conservative court (I think) in history. 4 liberals, 4 conservatives and a middle of the road. How crazy. The four conservatives on the court need to talk to Kennedy about freedom. If the Supreme Court stays the same the next 3 years, we are in great shape to change the court even more conservative after we win 2016 (if we pick a Santorum of course).

I’m sure Roberts will let us down again.

Supreme Court to Consider Obama Recess Appointments

The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to decide the scope of a president's constitutional authority to make recess appointments, a power that Democratic and Republican administrations have used for decades to install nominees without Senate confirmation.

The justices agreed to consider an appeal by the Obama administration, which is seeking to overturn a lower-court ruling that invalidated President Barack Obama's use of recess appointments to fill vacancies at the National Labor Relations Board. That ruling threatened the legitimacy of hundreds of actions the labor board has taken since the president used the recess power to install three new board members on Jan. 4, 2012.

Thanks caww. Will go out and take a look. Since the session is ending wonder if this issue will be looked at this year?

It still kills me.. Republicans have dominated the Supreme Court in terms of number of nominees over the past few decades, and yet we still can’t get a reliable working constitutional majority there? Meanwhile, every nominee that the Dems put-up is solidly in their corner.

And, worse yet, if the Hildebeast or some other rat wins in ‘16, my fears about Scalia and Thomas lasting another four or eight years begin to ramp-up seriously.

This is just something that will forever bother me. For all the talk that the country is all but dead, I’ll truly believe it when/if we officially lose the high court.

Then again, Roberts could confirm that the country is already lost with his rulings this week. My blood pressure is shot.

The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.

For example if Hillary had died while the Senate was in recess Zippo could have made anyone SOS at that time. It is not to fill positions created ie labor board.

I’ve been thinking about that fact. The conclusion to which I’ve come is that the liberal justices are reliable for the Left because they rule along ideological lines. Whereas Kennedy and the conservatives at least try to interpret the law. (Obviously, that doesn’t explain Roberts’ decision in Obamacare.) So their decisions aren’t always to our liking.
