Federal Appeals Court Likely to

| President Barack Obama made headlines months ago when he installed controversial nominees to key government positions, bypassing the U.S. Senate by declaring the Senate in recess so that Senate confirmation was not needed. Today a federal appeals court signaled that it might rule Obama’s move unconstitutional, and remove those officials from power. The U.S. Constitution says that Congress can by statute allow minor government players—“inferior officers”—to be appointed by the president, by Cabinet officers, or by the courts. But high-level administrative officials—called “principal officers”—must be nominated by the president, then confirmed by the U.S. Senate.

Why would anyone assume that Obama would listen to a federal judge. He has already ignored many fereral judge rulings without any consequence that I have seen. If there is an example where he has abided by a judicial ruling please let me know?

I don`t believe they will but if they should, Obama will take it to the Supreme`s. It they invalodate the appointments Obama will disregard their findings an they will stay on.
Barack is in full `screw everyone mode` right now. He could care less what anyone thinks. He has Big Media to cover his *** an it`s full steam ahead for his ideology.

Unfortunately, Breitbart´s headline writer made a serious error in calling them "recess appointments." They are not. And that´s why the case is in the courts.
Of course, that´s setting aside the far, far, far larger issue that he´s ineligible, and not legally President, so his every "official acct" is moot.
And then there remains the malfeasance of every state Secretary of State in 2008 and 2012 allowing him, unchallenged, on the ballot. That may be the greater scandal and failing.

Obambi, through his reckless disregard for law, might actually do what the American people can´t and that is to force the Judical branch to observe the constitituion. This case and Obambicare have the legal potential for the Courts to severely limit goobernment (back to where it was pre-Depression).

He hasn´t been re-elected until the Electoral College meets on the 17th.
If someone in the House of Representatives had the backbone to impeach him for any one of an almost uncountable number of unconstitutional actions he has taken before then, maybe the EC would revolt.
Twenty-four states do not even require the Electoral College delegates to vote the way they are "pledged." If only 17 states withheld their vote, "abstained" he would not be certified.
Obama won with 7 million fewer votes than he garnered in 2008, Romney lost with only 1 million fewer votes than McCain had...0bama has no mandate!

Correct the appointments were not legal.
Legal recess appointments end either on Dec. 31 the year they were made or 1 year from the appointed date unless confirmed by the senate with a floor vote before the end of the year term..

When MSNBC host Martin Bashir disappeared from his post at the helm of his eponymous 4 p.m. program, many assumed that it had something to do with the fact that the first terror attack on U.S. soil since 9/11 had occurred just hours earlier. This was backed up by the fact that his program was guest-anchored by MSNBC’s straight news purveyors and not his frequent fill in hosts Karen Finney or Joy-Ann Reid. It was, however, soon revealed that Bashir was “on assignment,” but few could have been aware of how inappropriate that assignment would be. Bashir,

Bill O’Reilly was on fire tonight as he reacted to former Congressman Barney Frank using the Boston bombings in order to make a political point about taxes. Frank not only said that tax cuts would have made recovery efforts worse, but he also opined that the reaction was “greatly hyperbolic” and stated, “this isn’t the end of the world.” O’Reilly could not hide his outrage at Frank, calling him a “left-wing bomb thrower” and said he needs to “shut up until the people are buried.” Frank’s comments were so shocking, he was called out while making his

The 844-page immigration reform draft written by the Senate Gang of Eight includes more than 20 allowances for unrestricted spending for everything from a Comprehensive Immigration Reform Trust Fund to radios for state and local cops, raising concerns among fiscal conservatives that the bill is too expensive. The wording of the spending language varies in the language, but it is sized up in the oft-used phrase: "such sums as may be necessary." Two congressional advisors said on background that open-ended funding in the bill will come under attack, especially since it already includes $2 billion for

The report focuses on a highly unusual quid pro quo deal Perez struck with the city of St. Paul, Minn., to get it to drop a case bound for the Supreme Court. Perez, who is currently the Justice Department top civil rights enforcer, arranged to get the federal government to drop out of two cases pending against city. In exchange, the city dropped a

With the failure of the Democrats’ attempt to exploit the Newtown school shooting to press forward gun control measures, President Obama took to the microphones along with the relatives of Sandy Hook victims to demonize his opposition. This, of course, was his strategy all along: knowing that he did not have 60 votes in the Democrat-controlled Senate to pass his gun control legislation, he pressed forward anyway, hoping to paint Republicans as intransigent, immoral tools of the gun lobby who don’t care about dead children. After demonizing Republicans, Obama hopes, he can press Americans into voting Democrats

The 844-page immigration reform bill the bipartisan “Gang of Eight” dropped in the dead of night contains a lucrative handout that would give taxpayer-funded free cell phones to some people who live or work near the U.S. border with Mexico. Pages 43 and 44 of the bill detail what one conservative blogger, Javier Manjarres of Shark Tank, has already described as the “ObamaPhone” from Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL).

Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT) warned he sees “a huge train wreck coming down” with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, known to its critics as Obamacare. The candid comments came during a Wednesday hearing with Obama’s Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. “I´m very concerned that not enough is being done so far--very concerned," said Baucus. "Small businesses have no idea what to do, what to expect.” Baucus appeared frustrated with Sebelius’s unresponsiveness in supplying the senator with information designed to educate and assist citizens with understanding the massively complex healthcare overhaul.

A man from Tupelo, Miss. has been arrested as a suspect in the case of two letters mailed to the president and a Mississippi senator, letters that initially tested positive for ricin. The man was identified as Kenneth Curtis, NBC News reported. Meanwhile, more tests have been ordered after a second set of ricin tests on the letters sent to the White House and the Senate came back inconclusive, NBC News reports. The tests show some level of the deadly poison, but the potency is uncertain, so authorities can’t tell whether the material is harmful or not.

BOSTON - A law enforcement official has told CBS News that an arrest has been made in the Boston Marathon bombings. The person has been taken into custody by federal marshals and will be in court Wednesday afternoon. Investigators made a “clear identification” of a suspect in the bombings, according to CNN, with surveillance video. Correspondent John King, a Boston native, said authorities have a clear video image of a “dark-skinned male” placing a bag at the second bomb site outside of the Forum restaurant on Boylston Street and then leaving the area before that explosion.

Protocol: President Obama declined to send a high-level delegation to Wednesday´s funeral of Britain´s Margaret Thatcher. It´s a measure of how little he values the special relationship — and a sign of his own smallness. Back in more gracious times, vice presidents routinely attended funerals of foreign dignitaries. As such, the presence of Vice President Joe Biden — if not Obama himself — would seem fitting for as significant a U.S. ally as the late Prime Minister Thatcher, if not out of warmth of feeling, then simply to represent the U.S.´ gratitude.

President Obama angrily blamed the defeat Wednesday of his centerpiece gun-control proposal on lies spread by the National Rifle Association, calling it “a pretty shameful day for Washington.” “The gun lobby and its allies willfully lied about the bill,” Mr. Obama said in the White House rose garden about 90 minutes after the vote. “It came down to politics.” As he spoke, Mr. Obama was surrounded by family members of victims of the Newtown, Conn., school shooting. Also with him was former Rep. Gabby Giffords of Arizona, wounded in an assassination attempt.

Authorities on Tuesday revealed little new information about the terrorist attack at the Boston Marathon, the most high-profile bombing on U.S. soil in more than a decade and a tragedy that presents a new test for President Obama. Obama, like all Americans, is standing by, waiting for answers as to who planted two bombs improvised from pressure cookers at the finish line of the storied race, and why. Three Americans were killed in Monday´s attack and more than 170 others were injured. "Anytime bombs are used to target innocent civilians, it is an act of terror," Obama said,

She accused Bush of being unavailable to the American people for the “first couple weeks” after the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

As we now move into the official Political Aftermath period of the Boston bombing — the period that will determine the long-term legislative fallout of the atrocity — the dynamics of privilege will undoubtedly influence the nation’s collective reaction to the attacks. That’s because privilege tends to determine: 1) which groups are — and are not — collectively denigrated or targeted for the unlawful actions of individuals; and 2) how big and politically game-changing the overall reaction ends up being.

Washington — President Barack Obama says the Senate’s opposition to a bill that would have expanded background checks for gun buyers marks a “shameful day” in Washington. He says a minority of senators decided “it wasn’t worth it” to protect the nation’s children. Obama spoke in the Rose Garden shortly after the Senate vote rejecting a bipartisan effort to expand federal background checks to more firearms buyers. (Snip) The president pinned the blame for the measures failure, though five Democrats also opposed the plan. He also said the gun lobby and its allies “willfully lied” about background check bill.

Jeff Flake if the Arizona Republican votes against legislation to expand background checks. At a Christian Science Monitor breakfast on Tuesday, Kelly said he would back an opponent to Flake if the "right candidate" was available and if the senator failed to support a background check bill, according to reports. Flake, who is not up for reelection until 2018, has been close to Kelly and Giffords. But Kelly said the issue of control trumped their ties.
