SCOTUS Unanimously Slaps Down Obama on Recess Appointments
Written By : Warner Todd Huston

This one is pretty amazing. The US Supreme Court has delivered a unanimous slap to the President saying that his recess appointments were illicit. Even the court’s liberals said Obama was wrong on this
If you are out of the loop, here is what happened: Obama wanted to make some extremely partisan appointments to the National Labor Relations board (NLRB) so that he could deliver even more pro union decisions in the disputes between labor and businesses that the NLRB is set up to adjudicate.
The U.S. Senate did not like his choices because the folks Obama wanted to appoint were obvious union shills that would further erode the NLRB’s status as an unbiased arbitrator between labor unions and the business sector (as it is supposed to be).
So, the Senate gaveled itself to order every few days and then immediately gaveled itself out to nominally stay in session (called pro forma session) to prevent Obama from making recess appointments to the NLRB
But Obama decided that the Senate was “in recess” all on his own without accepting the Senate’s own claims that it wasn’t in recess and he made what are called “recess appointments.” This is a power the president has that is essentially a sort of emergency power used when Congress is out of town but the president needs to do something in an emergency and hasn’t the time to wait for Congress to come back to session.
Obviously Obama’s partisan desire to stack the NLRB with union shills was no “emergency” and further the Senate was still nominally “in session,” so his attempt to claim the right to make recess appointments was illicit.
But Obama didn’t care about any of that. He made his appointments anyway and then the NLRB proceeded to make a long string of highly biased rulings that further hurt our economy (another of Obama’s particular goals).
Subsequently, Obama was essentially sued in a case called NLRB v. Noel Canning.
They slapped the worthless bastard like they should. Ruled 9-0 that he was a tyrant that was power grabbing and that any supposed Constitutional expert as he is claimed to be knew better than that.
The minority opinion was far, far more harsh of the ffing scum piece of shit... -Tyr
