O'bungle found to be unconstitutional.

[Alinvegas]

Once again.

In a case freighted with major constitutional implications, a federal appeals court on Friday overturned President Obama’s controversial recess appointments from last year, ruling he abused his powers and acted when the Senate was not actually in a recess.
The three-judge panel’s ruling is a major blow to Mr. Obama. The judges ruled that the appointments he made to the National Labor Relations Board are illegal, and hence the five-person board did not have a quorum to operate.
But the ruling has even broader constitutional significance, with the judges arguing that the president’s recess appointment powers don’t apply to “intra-session” appointments — those made when Congress has left town for a few days or weeks. They said Mr. Obama erred when he said he could claim the power to determine when he could make appointments.

Once again? Like it's an everyday happening?

Interesting ruling...and from a lower court. An activist lower court?

...White House spokesman Jay Carney today said the administration "respectfully but strongly" disagrees with the court decision. He said there have been more than 280 intra-session recess appointments dating back to 1867.


"The decision is novel and unprecedented," he said. "It contradicts 150 years of practice by Democratic and Republican administration."

The Supremes will make the final call on this.

Just some hack judges denying Obama he recess appointments that presidents have always made.

All part of the GOP effort to obstruct government at every turn. Example - the Pugs in the Senate refuse to allow the Obama's NLRB appointements to go through, the hack judges change the law to dissallow Obama's recess apppointments, and the NLRB cannot act at all.

Pugs hate democracy.

Again??

Guess he's finding out he's not King. What a pompous yet ignorant ass.

They hate labor, too. Buncha goddam uppity peasants!!

BTW, the 3 hack judges are a Reagan appointee, a Poppy Bush appointee, and a GWB appointee.

One can expect nothing from them but pro-GOP hackery, such as denying Obama the recess appointment power of Republican presidents before him.

Three Republican hack judges do the GOP's bidding.

Shocking!

Cite the other examples. We know you made that up, and that you're too lazy to do any research.

It was just 'rhetorical excess', or 'poetic license'. Take your pick.

They sure can't point to "Obamacare."

:lol:

 

[OldGaffer]

Bush used recess appointments much more than Obama.

 

[Dino]

It's NOT precedented to make recess appointments on days of pro-forma session. The Senate is in.

That's unconstitutional.

Your lame attempt to create "new rules" for the black Dem prez is rejected.

Just more Republican hackery - just like we saw from that kangaroo court.

 

[Bugsy McGurk]

Bush used recess appointments much more than Obama.

Yes, but he was a white Republican.

That's different.

 

[OldGaffer]

And Dino never complained about it even once. Strange, that.

 

[Dino]

Sure the DC Circuit (District of Columbia, not Den of Conservatives) is an anti-Obama racist conservative court.

That's a good one.

Obama continues to try to rewrite the rules the way he likes them. It's not going to work.

Again, a Reagan appointee, a Poppy Bush appointee, and a GWB appointee.

The result? Absurd hackery. The long recognized power of recess appointments gets reversed so the GOP can continue its anti-democratic obstructionism.

No one is suprised by such Republican antics.

 

[Jen]

Kinda funny. Harry Reid invented this little thing of being "technically" in session so that the President couldn't make those sorts of appointments but Congress didn't "really" convene.

Now that it was used on the Democrats, Obama decided to ignore it and made appointments not of people who had been nominated and were on the docket but of people who had not even been officially nominated......and he did it while Congress was in session.

Just who does he think he is? Above the Constitution? Oh yeah...........that IS what he thinks. And Jay Carney comes out with his excellent whining voice...... Bwahahaha.

Darn. And here I was just telling people earlier today that you weren't a wild-eyed extremist.
