SCOTUS decides on Obama's picks

Two years ago Obama appointed three "pro-union" members to the National Labor Relations Board that is supposed to provide oversight by union-management relations. He did this with a recess appointment because the democratically controlled Senate was not in session...anyway, that's the story being put out by the White House. The democratically controlled Senate was IN SESSION and those recess appointments were illegal. This is the first time that a president has tried to use the recess appointment clause to bypass the "advise and consent" reponsibility of the Senate. Understand that? No other president has even TRIED. They knew it was unconstitutional though our legal scholar president doesn't know that.

The reasoning of the White House is that the democratically controlled Senate was not doing it's job and giving his nominees a vote. They believe that the fact that the White House and the democratically controlled Senate can't get along is reason enough.

Predictions are a very lop-sided vote AGAINST Barry.

The senate was not "in session" in the normal way......normal Republican dirty tricks. You forgot to mention that while regurgitating your FOX news summary dunce boy.

That having been said, the stories you read this morning are probably correct. The 3rd Circuit as already dinged the administration on this one. I suspect SCOTUS will follow suit.

I could point out who was running the Senate at the time (the democrats) but I am just amazed that Timmie realized that the Senate was in session. That puts him ahead of Barry. Wow!

Wow, but it doesn't make any different who is running the senate. The minority can keep it "in session" at least in legal terms, Admiral. Which is exactly what happened here. The senate was kept in session by the GOP for the express purpose of blocking recess appointments. Just tell the truth Admiral.....if you can still recognize it after so many years of gobbling down the RWW propaganda that you apparently dine on for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

actually, I think Admiral is too complimentary a term for this dipshit, Timmy.

I think he should be busted down to semen.

Yet this didn't stop Harry Reid from defending Obama's attempt to subvert and override the strategy that he (Harry and the dems) invented. Maybe Harry doesn't care about being consistent in his arguments, but SCOTUS does.
