Senate Rejects Obama's Labor Board Nominee

[thundley4]

President Obama's nominee for the National Labor Relations Board fell short of the 60 votes needed to break a Republican-led filibuster.

The Senate vote 52-33, included two Democrats, Blanche Lincolm and Ben Nelson, who voted against Craig Becker.

Republicans have held up Becker's confirmation for months. They say Becker would push an aggressive union agenda at the agency that referees labor disputes between unions and management.

Hi,

The two democrats who voted no are good but in their case it was too little too late.  They have been trained to wait for the big payoff for their vote and it must not have been forthcoming.  There will be SEIU members at their doorsteps with funny looking violin cases in the near future.

There has been talk about Lord Zero using recess appointments to get around the GOP.

One can hope.  That EFCA is some dangerous crap for sure.
