It’s a shame none of the Rs in DC have the cojones to ram this right into federal court and give Obama one more thing to have to defend himself against.

Better be front and center on the debates...yea I know....I can dream.

But RS and Newt really better run with it hard and fast. It’s a gift. A gateway to get by all his other media coverups with the racism charge. Because there is no presidence.

The senate has the power to take action to fix this, but of course, won't, because liberals control the chamber. The house could take action, but any action would be described by the press as just being politics...

So what's left is private citizens taking action in the courts, who will most likely shrug their shoulders and point at the senate and the house as the places to have this settled, as they have mechanisms for keeping the president from overstepping his bounds.

The whole dog and pony show over who's running for president (or in Obama’s case, present) means nothing compared to taking back the people's house from the liberals, both in and out of the GOP.

Why are they calling it a "recess" appointment?! It is not a "recess" appointment. It would be a recess appointment if the Senate was actually in recess. However, they are not in recess.

Radio talk show host Mark Levin was quite clear on this issue - it was illegal since the House was still in session and the Senate cannot adjourn without the consent of the House and vis-versa.

The “Communist In Chief” just came out of the red closet, not only on this Constitution-ignoring act, an impeachable act, but also in his Shaker Heights Cleveland high school speech where he talk the students (these blithering ignorant assholes), that he would do want he wanted to and ignore the expressed limits that the Constitution places on an imperial presidency re the rights of the Congress.
(Again, hattip to Levin for playing some of this speech).

Did you know that the last “O” in Politico stood for “Uh Oh, we screwed up again with our ignorance of the Constitution”?

IT IS TIME TO FORM A NATIONAL “IMPEACH OBAMA COMMITTEE”. He has shredded the Constitution or corrupted it, aided and abetted by the marxists and crooks he has appointed.

Time to change the national slogan from “Hail to the Chief” to “Jail to the Theft” (he is stealing our freedom).

It is time that loyal Americans stood up and said “No More”.

Murky?!

Such "journalism" is proof POSITIVE the media--local, national, and 'net-based are eager to fellate Hussein!

Can you imagine if Bush did this what the headline would say? Would it say Bush's authority was MURKY? Hell, no. The headlines ALL would talk about Bush's abrogation of precedent, the Constitutional crisis he was creating for political gain, and the PROBLEM with executives who overreach their authority.

Not with Hussein.

Dammit, folks, we have to not only beat this assclown in November, we need to begin to change the CULTURE in news media. Teach kids the truth, and encourage them to infiltrate these industries.

Note how Politico admits that the Senate is not in recess but that Obama’s appointment is “murky” despite the fact that the Constitution clearly states that he can't appoint unless they are on recess but then try to justify Obama’s move by claiming Bush made recess appointments when congress was in recess.

I think this is just the beginning, obumber is pushing for a fight. He will only become more aggressive until he gets his fight. That is his whole reelection strategy. Boner is in a bad place because he has been weak all along. Nothing he can do now, it’s lose-lose situation for the republicans. obumber has the media and apparently some balls, the gop has boner and mcConel. We are screwed!

Obama recess appointment power is murky (It's not "murky", it's Unconstitutional)

Especially when the power is to fill a vacancy that occurs during the Senate's recess, not one that the President has failed to fill prior to the recess because he was too chicken (or something else more sinister) to deal with the Senate.

When even Politico sees muddy water, B.O.'s sitting neck-deep in an unsavory pile. Sooner or later, the other shoe has got to drop on this subversive POS and his apparatchiks.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Bummer’s got corporate America on his case now. This can’t be all bad though the rhetoric that will arise from the White Hut end will be rich.
