Obama recess appointments
unconstitutional

Washington Times, by Stephen Dinan

Original Article

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

Don´t stop there...expand that to include his entire ´presidency´. Do it now!

“This panel of the D.C. circuit has accomplished what Minority Leader Mitch McConnell failed to do. Minority Leader McConnell said that his No. 1 objective was defeating Barack Obama and Barack Obama’s attempt to govern. This D.C. circuit panel has been successful where McConnell failed. they have really, effectively challenges the president’s ability to govern,” Mr. Williams said.

Mr. Williams the Founders did not set up the federal government
so that the President could govern efficiently.

They set up the federal government
so that the President was required to govern minimally.

We find ourselves were we are
because liberals like you
persistently, perniciously,
refuse to accept that fact.

This is wonderful...finally, someone is standing up against this miserable tyrant who sees nothing wrong with breaking the absolute law of the land. Evil cretin. We need more men and women of integrity to stand up and stop the powermongers who are destroying this country.

What difference, at this point, does it make?

If he decides to make legal appointments instead of illegal ones, his appointees will all be seditious Leftists anyway. With Obama, it´s always a lose-lose situation for the country.

The NLRB insists that is will continue, which make it a rogue board in contempt of court.
Now Boehner must defund it.

Just wait for him to finish stacking the Supreme Court to his liking and all such rulings will be appealed and dismissed.

Jay Carney mumbles his usual intelligent legal argument that ´everybody else did it´ completely missing the point that it was unconstitutional when everybody else did it too.

I expect any day now the judges will come out and say they decided not to pursue this after all, it was a silly mistake, sorry about that.

This is only one of the many unconstitutional acts this sack of pus has performed. Then there are all of the unconstitutional acts by the congress. A long, long, long way to go to get back even close to where we should be.

Oh wow bamboozler thought he had free reign to reign with no reference to any laws. If this goes the same was as the healthcare bill, the supremes will rule in his favor. Roberts will say we´ve come too far with what bamster has done to turn back now, which raises a new point: Do we have to tolerate Supremes who always rule in bamboozler´s favor? Is that objective? Watch Kagan and Sotomayor rule his way every time, day in, day out. We should start a petition to have them removed, once proven they cannot be objective and are nothing more than Obama stooges. We do not have to accept status quo.

Maybe now the courts will have the fortitude to attack the BIG question of Obambi´s constitutional qualifications. I´d accept a riot in South Central Los Angeles because he was run from office than to have our Constitutiuon torn to shreds. The riots will end but a loss of our rule of law will live forever

Radical Leftists like Obama do not agree with the American political system of checks and balances. Many do not even understand it. Their mentality is that of Lenin and the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. They have contempt for true representative government because it inevitably presents and presses for a wide variety of political opinions. Leftists are elitists are authoritarians at heart. They despise the mess, clamor, confusion and above all the delay of democracy. Though they profess devotion to democratic, egalitarian ideals, what most of them actually want is a submissive population and unfettered political power to do what they think is best. Though it sounds strange to say it, a remarkable number of radical Leftists like Obama are simply unable to comprehend the idea that they just might not know and be right about everything - that people who disagree with them not only have the right to do so, but may even upon occasion prove to be correct.

American schools and universities do not seem to be doing a satisfactory job of educating future citizens in the basic principles of representative Constitutional government. This can and will have grave consequences for the Republic if it continues.

These picks were so bad that Reid wasn´t going to get them confirmed. Obama decided to break the rules and deal with the consequences if some judge ruled against him. It just the end of his first term, but a growing number of judges have learned that he´s a lousy constitutional scholar and often chooses to operate outside the law.


Reply 15 - Posted by: Trapper, 1/26/2013 10:18:47 AM     (No. 9140334)

Any normal person would be taking a hard look at the lawyer who gave them the bad legal advice that they could make these appointments. But these people are all hardcore ideologues. They know precisely what action they intend to take, and then fabricate tortured and erroneous legal arguments to support their illegal actions.


Reply 16 - Posted by: hicokid, 1/26/2013 10:30:51 AM     (No. 9140353)

This is a great victory and maybe a turning point in obama´s lawless behavior. We will now see if our system is truly broken. All rulings by this illegal board should be null and void. And why should the Supremes take this up? The Constitution is clear, and the court´s decision was unanimous.


Reply 17 - Posted by: Butch59, 1/26/2013 10:33:52 AM     (No. 9140386)

This ruling isn´t going to make a whit of difference to Obozo. He will just ignore it like he did that federal judge´s ruling during the Deepwater Horizon episode. And what will be the consequences of that action? Do you really think that a federal marshall is going to the WH and arrest him? He is creating a Constitutional train wreck and that is just what he wants. To rule, not govern, without any restraints. And it seems that he is getting just that.

OK. Lets say this goes to the sort-of Supreme Court and Obama loses again. What difference does it make? Who will do anything about it and enforce the constitution? No one, in my opinion. He can just thumb his nose at everyone and half of the country will support him. Heck, they don´t even know what the LRB is or does, they don´t care. Even if the House impeached there is no way the Senate would do anything as there are probably only a dozen senators with any brass.

It´s a start - but it´s a start that is too late.

The judges decision will be ignored (ala Gulf drilling) and nothing will happen.

Obo knew this should be the outcome of his appointments. It was a gamble since the Supreme Court is not reliable constitutionalists. (ala Obamacare, McCain/Feingold)

NLRB should be defunded immediately since there is not a legal quorum sitting on the board.

#15, it´s time to link the reckless disregard for the rule of law to the out-of-control Senate Democrats who didn´t stand-up and defend the U.S. Constitution like they´re required to do, and took oath.

There are a bunch of Senate Democrats who are running in 2014, and it´s time to stick them with the out-of-control spending, debt and everything else. After all, they didn´t do their job in last 4 years.

Put the heat on Senate Democrats.

No, #7. The media is misrepresenting the issue - even Fox news - so it is no surprise that people don´t understand. NO one else has ever done this, because Obama made these recess appointments when the Senate was still technically in session. Actual recess appointments are not unconstitutional and it does not matter how many were made by Bush or Reagan. When the dems began using profarma sessions to prevent recess appointments by Bush, he did not try to make appointments anyway as Obama has. The distinction is quite pronounced.


Reply 26 - Posted by: saraguay, 1/26/2013 12:57:22 PM     (No. 9140694)

no, because obama is above the law and he´ll do what he wants anyway or "appeal" to the supreme court where justice roberts will roll with his new buddies and overturn this decision. sick sick sick

Anytime we get an abuse-of-oower ruling from an appeals court, that is prtty good.
Levin says it is not a criminal situation but that any of the cases before the NLRB during this time shoud file suit and firle to have the suit result overturned.

This will come up later as abuse of power. If we can get 3 or so of these sbuse of power ruling it will smear his legacy and might be more. thing grind slowly in the US jurisprudence

Apologies to #7. You are not wrong. Although the suit was brought because Obama made appointments while the Senate was still technically in session, the judges decision is much broader and puts other recess appointments in question.

The latest reporting in the matter of Fox News Channel’s James Rosen indicates the Obama administration fought to keep the search warrant for Rosen’s private email account secret, arguing that the government might need to monitor the account for a lengthy period of time. Thank you, Ryan Lizza. And one more thing. Despite Eric Holder’s his protestations of ignorance regarding the Rosen matter, NBC reports that Holder himself authorized the warrant application. Hmmm. Does that mean he might not have been entirely forthcoming about the matter in his testimony

He was 81. The Washington Post reported he died at Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, Md. In a statement to the Post newsroom, Managing Editor Kevin Merida said Johnson died of a heart attack.

Wissam Allouche, 44, appeared for an initial hearing Friday afternoon, and shook his head when U.S. Magistrate Judge Henry Bemporad read the charges leveled in a federal indictment. The judge ordered him held pending a bail hearing and his arraignment Tuesday. “He allegedly tried to cover up his affiliation with Hezbollah,” said special agent Erik Vasys, spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio. “It is believed

A FREE press in a democracy demands a delicate balance. The First Amendment means the media must have the right to inquire without hindrance. The government has a legitimate interest in keeping some national security information secret. When these come into conflict, the balance often has been struck this way: The media are free to pursue secrets, but it is up to those in government to keep them. When the media come into possession of information that, if disclosed, could be damaging, the government can plead the case for secrecy — and the media generally are open to persuasion.

The brutal murder of an off-duty soldier by two Muslim activists continues to dominate the news in Great Britain. The scene was utterly bizarre: in broad daylight, in a busy section of London, the two Muslims apparently ran the soldier down with a car, within a block or two of his barracks, and then attacked him with knives and a meat cleaver. They attempted to behead him, apparently not quite successfully, as hundreds of passers-by looked on. No one stopped them–private ownership of firearms being illegal in the U.K.–but three random women

A day after insurers complained that Kathleen Sebelius and the Obama administration had pressured them to fund Enroll America, a House committee sent them a request for more information on the matter. The Energy and Commerce Committee had already begun looking into whether Sebelius had broken any laws by attempting to get donations from an industry that will be heavily regulated by her under ObamaCare, and now The Hill reports this new request as a widening of that probe (via Rare): House Republicans have widened their probe of Health and Human Services

President Obama delivered an address today at the National Defense University called “The Future of our Fight Against Terrorism.” Actually, part of the speech was about the past, including much self-congratulation and some shots at President Bush. This part of the speech is revisionist rubbish. As Max Boot explains: Obama said, for example, that after he came into office, “we unequivocally banned torture, affirmed our commitment to civilian courts, worked to align our policies with the rule of law, and expanded our consultations with Congress.” Umm, actually all of that happened in Bush’s second term.

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose

Minutes later, he was hacked to death in broad daylight and in full view of onlookers by two men with machetes who crowed "Allahu Akbar!" as they dumped his carcass in the middle of the street like so much roadkill. As grotesque as this act of savagery was, the aftermath was even more unsettling
