Congress needs to hit back hard on this.

I admit a bit of surprise that even Reid is falling in line about this. Anything that chops away from the prerogatives of the Senate directly impacts his power.

And if Obama gets away with it once, he’ll keep right on going until he gets everything he wants — or he’s stopped. This has to be impeachment territory.

Write your Representatives and Representatives. I did tonight. I also copied everyone on my email address book to do the same.

This clown of a POTUS has to be stopped. NOW!

Yes they do. Yet I doubt they do anything. Reid doesn’t care about the Senate anymore in my opinion. He was bought by the Unions last election. I doubt he has another term in him. He hates this country just as much as his boss I am thinking.

Get a look at the banner behind him while he gave Congress the finger? "We Can't Wait."* Get used to hearing it -- he is going to run so hard Left that it will make the last three years seem like the Eisenhower Administration.

Frankly, if the Repubs don't immediately haul his ass court on this, I am going to sit-out the November election.

The recess appointment was designed for an age with extremely slow travel and communication. Those conditions no longer entail.

Besides, Art II, Sec 2 speaks to vacancies that occuring during a recess of the Senate. That was not a vacancy that had taken place during a recess. In fact, the Senate was in the midst of considering it.

Everything Cordray does is illegal. None of it has to be obeyed or followed.

In fact, civil disobedience is the proper response to Obama’s action.
