1. YOU SAID :You clowns realize it (the SCOTUS decision) will apply to all presidents not just Obama

2. I REPLIED: The SCOTUS decision which said the Senate was in session when the SENATE said it was, applied to Bush when Harry Reid used the tactic, but.. BUSH knew it was legal and didn't violate it. Unlike Obama who tried to claim that the Senate wasn't "really" in session.. i.e. He tried to say when the Senate was in session and the SCOTUS slapped him down for it.

So.. Did you grasp the fact that the SCOTUS decision simply UPHELD what was already known and followed by Bush? Funny how Bush the "idiot" you guys claim he was, knew this before the so-called "Constitutional Scholar" did.

There. did that clarify it for you? Or were there too many words with more than one syllable for you?

Because certain appointed folks, by law, actually have to be approved by the Senate. This is one of the "built in" checks and balances of the system. ie:
Federal Judges, very high ranking military, all senior cabinet positions, and more.

Here's the entire list from Fall 2013 from the Congressional Research Service:

It's our government, we should understand how it works.

When LittleEva is drowning in his own stupidity, you can always count on WK AssupRidee, DEM, DOTY 2013-2014 to ride in for his defense.

If you read the majority decision (there was no minority decision) it is frequently mentioned that this single instance is in question. That is read to mean that future administrations can make their own case for what is and is not recess. In this case, the Senate was not in recess. The appointments are vacated (there were four total) but it does not remedy the situation by calling into question all business and decisions made by the NLRB when they did not have a quorum.

Anybody willing to bet that IBIdiot has memorized the entire libretto to at least a dozen Broadway Musicals?
