Obama's NLRB "recess" appointments invalid
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 http://communities.washingtontimes.c...ointments-unc/ Any thoughts? |

A "pro forma" session is, in actuality, a recess with two douchebags banging a gavel every other day for minutes at a time. The issue's not nearly as clear you believe it to be, as usual. Quote:

It'd be hypocritical if I was arguing at the time that a similar move by Bush was unconstitutional. |

I thought the article stated that Harry Reid was the first leader to do it.

Yes I would definitely consider bypassing the constitution a bold move.

What Direckshun wants is for the Executive Branch to be able to interpret Senate rules in any way that meets their needs. A dangerous and stupid idea. Par for the course for him. |

I'm shocked to find out that we have people willing to defend Obama on this.

Seems like a lot of people are getting paid by the taxpayer to not get anything productive done. I would not be surprised if the final ruling on this will be that the reason for the recess clause was that at the time of the Framers travel to Congress took a long time depending on the state, and the recess appointment power was included by the framers because of those travel considerations to prevent vacant offices. I doubt they contemplated this idea of pro forma sessions being a way to keep offices vacant, because they thought it necessary to fill vacancies that arose when most of the Senators were out of town. Just a stupid pissin' contest that is wasting a lot of taxpayer money if you ask me.
