Interesting decision:

The panel went on to significantly narrow the definition of “recess,” for purposes of the president’s appointment power. The judges held that presidents may invoke their recess appointment power only between formal sessions of Congress – a brief period that usually arises only once a year – rather than during breaks that arise during a session, like lawmakers’ annual August vacations. Two of the three judges also ruled that the president may also only use that power to fill a vacancy that opens during the same recess.

The ruling also called into question nearly 200 years of previous such appointments by administrations across the political spectrum. The executive branch has been making intrasession appointments since 1867 and has been using recess appointments to fill vacancies that opened before a recess since 1823. Among other things, Mr. Elwood noted, it called into question every ruling made by several federal appeals court judges who were installed by recess power.

“You know there are people sitting in prisons around the country who will become very excited when they learn of this ruling,” he said.

Interesting decision:

None of the lit right wing nutjobs will read or acknowledge any of that.

Finally someone stands up to Obama and questions what he does.

As we all know, he has been going along without any criticism or scrutiny for too long.

NYTs?

The ruling, if not overturned, could paralyze the National Labor Relations Board, an independent agency that oversees labor disputes, because it would lack a quorum without the three Obama appointments in January 2012."

They forget to mention the agency has been "stacked" by Obama to where it's nothing more that an anti-business kangaroo court.

John P. Elwood, administration hack, like who gives a fuck what he thinks?

Now that is a laugh! The only reason they and the department of Labor exists, is for the unions.

So a court overturns over 100 years of what has been accepted Presidential authority, and defines for the Senate when they are considered 'in session'

...

And the Vetter isn't screaming "Activist judges!!!!!!!!!!!"


Color me shocked.

The judges said presidents’ recess powers only apply after Congress has adjourned a session permanently, which in modern times usually means only at the end of a year.

Oh so most Republican recess appointments were unconstitutional as well?

Now the minority party will never put the Senate into recess, keeping two Senators in DC over Christmas to meet together in the Starbucks line for 90 seconds. And the filibuster again runs rampant.

Let's pray Harry has the balls to fix this. Otherwise the minority party will have no incentive at all to ever allow the nomination of a judicial or any important post to proceed. Ever.

This is the correct decision. The Senate was still in session. I have no issue with this decision. It has narrowed the window defining recess greatly. This affects both parties equally...well...that isn't really true since the GOP doesn't have a chance of hell of winning the Presidency until 2024.

That's great news. We'll never see another John Bolton fiasco.

With a tip of the hat to KRC, name one president who has never promoted legislation subsequently found unconstitutional.

And while you are on your high horse, what about that Florida governor who got so excited about a statute found to violate physicians' and patients' First Amendment rights.

Which taste buds get excited when you taste your own hypocrisy, Vette?

Obama is a just puppet. The liberal establishment, in fact the radical establishment you could call it now, uses Him as a prop. He's the white liberals marionette, nothing more. That was proven during the first debate, He's just a facade for The System.

What's wrong with white liberals?

You'd prefer black fascists?
