| The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Friday that President Obama´s January 2012 recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board were unconstitutional and invalid. Bloomberg reports: The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington in a unanimous ruling today sided with Republican lawmakers and a canning company that challenged the appointments. The judges said the definition of “the Recess” in the Constitution’s Recess Appointments Clause is limited to the period between one Congress and the next, and that Congress had begun a new session at the time the president made the appointments.

They forgot. Mark Levin, I believe, had a part in this.

Yes, Mark Levin did step up to the plate on this one (Thank you, Sir) But I ask, What difference does it make at this point? He is what he is and we are still in his path of destruction.

It´s a start. Not much more than that--Obie tends to ignore many federal court orders, such as the court order that Interior Department issue oil and gas drilling permits in the Gulf of Mexico to those applicants who have proven that they satisfy all the statutory and regulatory requirements.
This will immediately be appealed to the Supremes. It would be good to see SCOTUS uphold the DC Circuit and smack Obie down on at least one of his willful violations of the separation of powers. His flagrant issuing of Executive Orders where Congress doesn´t immediately pass legislation for everything he wants should likewise be appealed.

This is a true waste of money to appeal. They had to think that if a Dem Justice got the case they might possibly win. Since that didn´t happen and the correct law has been cited, there is virtually no chance of winning. My guess is he´ll wait a year or so when he wants an appointment which is currently being blocked and then strike when the bulk of the Senate is on vacation. Then it will have to go all the way through court again.

What part of the ruling UNconstitutional don´t you understand that you continue the same old same old waaah what´s the difference?
The difference is the little dictator has been handed his backside for a change.
The ruling left only ONE time the president can legally make a recess appointment. That is when the entire congress is no longer viable at the end of a year awaiting the swearing in of a new Congress.
Who knows how the Supreme court will rule if they even agree to hear a the case. Until then ILLEGAL stands.

I like Estrada getting revenge. The lib dems had no business not confirming him to the bench. It shows the dems are truly racists.

Dead Ted Kennedy was especially nasty to Estrada. Remember Kennedy´s disdain when he questioned estrada about estrada´s parents, and how kennedy sneered that estrada´s parents were successful?

After Judge Bork no two justice nominees have ever been treated as shamefully as Miguel Estrada and Charles Pickering. It´s good to see him get some revenge.

Not since George Wallace, perhaps, has an Alabamian taken as passionate a stand for a lost cause as the one Jeff Sessions is taking now. Bipartisan immigration legislation is making its way inexorably through the Senate Judiciary Committee. Although its ultimate fate is unclear, its passage by the committee is assured, and conservatives on the panel such as ranking Republican Chuck Grassley (Iowa) and Orrin Hatch (Utah) are doing what they can to improve the bill. Even firebrands such as Ted Cruz (Tex.) and Mike Lee (Utah) are holding fire. Then there’s Sessions. The wiry Southerner is on a one-man

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley has canceled some public events while her husband is on a short break from his deployment in Afghanistan, her office said Monday. Capt. Michael Haley, a member of the Army National Guard, is home for up to two weeks of leave as granted by his commanders. He is believed to be the first spouse of a sitting governor to be deployed into a combat zone, the National Guard Association has said. Gov. Haley, a Republican up for re-election in 2014, bade an emotional farewell to her husband in January

She has been named one of “Ten Republicans to Follow on Twitter,” she was a rockstar at the 2012 Republican National Convention — and now she is back for another crack at a House seat. Mia Love, currently the mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah, has officially announced her candidacy for Utah’s fourth congressional district, setting up a rematch against Representative Jim Matheson, who defeated Love last November by just 768 votes out of 245,277 cast.

On Sunday, President Barack Obama gave a commencement address at Morehouse College in Atlanta. “Keep setting an example for what it means to be a man,” he told the graduates. “Be the best husband to your wife, or boyfriend to your partner, or father to your children that you can be.” That’s what Obama said, according to the New York Times, USA Today, Politico, and dozens of other news organizations. But Obama never uttered those words. Here’s what he actually said: “Be the best husband to your wife, or your boyfriend, or your partner.” That’s not a small difference

Multitasking, job-hopping Chelsea Clinton has quietly taken on a big new job at New York University. The former first daughter has tackled what the school calls a “multifaith” role as co-founder and co-chair of its brand-new Of Many Institute. The program is described by the university as aiming to “develop multifaith dialogue and train multifaith leaders.” An NYU rep told us Clinton’s been involved with the institute “for some time,” but the school’s been keeping Clinton’s role incredibly quiet. There has never been a formal announcement nor a post on Clinton’s Facebook page.

An accused crack dealer is singing “Sweet Caroline” today. Former First Daughter Caroline Kennedy and her fellow jurors took just over an hour yesterday to acquit the Harlem man of charges that he sold four “nickel bag” crack rocks at $5 each to an undercover officer. Violent predicate felon Nelson Chatman, 31, smiled as the jury foreman rendered the verdict in the 2011 case after 75 minutes of deliberations. And Kennedy, 55, also smiled, slightly and politely, as jurors were individually asked by a clerk, “Is that your verdict?” “Yes,” Kennedy said when it was her turn,

In my experience, the term “BOLO” is a law enforcement term short for “be on the lookout” for criminals and suspects on the run. But for the Obama IRS, BOLO meant, literally, “be on the lookout” for citizen groups who might be opposed to the Obama agenda. First, we know that the “independent” IRS purposely stonewalled the approval of non-profit applications from “Tea Party” and other conservative groups that were seeking tax exempt status. As reported by CNN: Among the criteria used by IRS officials to flag applications was a "Be On the Look Out" list,

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

PRESIDENT OBAMA: You are the mantle of Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington and Ralph Bunche and Langston Hughes and George Washington Carver and Ralph Abernathy and Thurgood Marshall and, yes, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. These men were many things to many people and they knew full well the role that racism played in their life.

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

"Can you see in your mind´s eye a way that this might not have been political, that this was a misguided stupid way to sort, but that they didn´t intend it to be some kind of political attempt to harass the Tea Party?" So actually asked CNN´s Candy Crowley of her guest Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) concerning the Internal Revenue Service scandal Sunday (video follows with transcript and commentary):CANDY CROWLEY, HOST: Moving on to the IRS problem at this moment, which is really sort of in its infancy.

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement
