Obama's NLRB "recess" appointments invalid

[AustinChief]

I looked and didn't see a thread on this... you guys are dropping the ball!

So, it looks like every NLRB decision since January of 2012 will be invalidated. This is a VERY HEALTHY slap in the face to Obama's constant abuse of executive power.

Here is a great article on it

Any thoughts?

Just making a point that you don’t want to remove the checks and balances just because your guy is currently in the driver’s seat.

The only agent here removing checks and balances is the Senate minority for blocking off the constitutional power of recess appointments through a farce.

If I could rep you for each Helen, I would. I love Monty Pyton that much.

I think courts could (and will) disagree on this. It's a classic "letter of the law vs. spirit of the law" archetype. It will almost certainly end up before the SCOTUS.

Um, Monty Python, huh?

ARG. I knew that. Another irreverent sketch show that I loved.

His attempt to load the NLRB with union friendly asswipes failed

I agree with you FishingRod. Teddy Roosevelt abused these too. It's good to have a suit because this type of thing needs to stop—no matter who is in office. I'd like to see something on the abuse of EO's too. Perhaps using the one where Obama removed the welfare reform work requirement.

What Direckshun has failed to say in the midst of all of his wrongheaded ignorant ranting is this... Obama didn't just follow some long held precedent of making recess appointments. He instead decided that he would circumvent the Senate and decide for HIMSELF when they were and weren't in recess. GOING AGAINST previous precedent in the matter and most obviously going against the Constitution.

He also acts as if the Senate's pro forma sessions was some brand new tactic. This has been used for years to block recess appointments.

So quit trying to act as if what the court did was some massive change of the game. OBAMA brought this on himself with his illegal expansion of executive powers. Even Evil President Bush abided by these rules when Reid used pro forma sessions to block him.

Where was your outcry when Reid was using the same tactic? ****ing partisan hypocrite.

For me, this is the crux of the matter that harms checks and balances.

That's right Reid did it to Bush—rightfully so, imo.

RACIST!!!!!

“the Senate may act to foreclose [recess appointments] by declining to recess for more than two or three days at a time over a lengthy period.”

Without looking it up... anyone want to guess who this quote is from? (It's not Reid or Obama, that would be too obvious)
