Someone please explain how a Federal Appeals Court could suddenly decide to strike down Obama's


 
NLRB Recess appointments. Haven’t recent Presidents been both republicans and democrats been doing this for years? I’m sure it was a 2/1 party line vote ( yea, like judges don’t vote their party line) but isn’t it rather peculiar that they did not question this until now. Isn’t it obvious to everyone that this is just another partisan
attack? Can it hold up? The Supreme court might not strike the decision down since they gave into Obamacare
and Republicans on the court might feel they owe their base a ****ing crazy wing nut decision.

1. Because The Senate was not adjourned and wasn't in an official recess, they were holding ...

... proforma sessions every three days - because The House would not agree to adjourn.

In order to be in an official recess (during holidays etc) both chambers of Congress have to agree to a adjournment resolution.

But the House Republicans had been obstructing and not agreeing to the resolution for a VERY VERY LONG TIME during MANY breaks when they'd been going home.

So, Pres Obama said something to himself like 'hey, these jerks are never ever going to go into an official recess and they are going to keep pulling this BS every time they leave D.C. and go home ... so 'F' them ... I'm going to make these appointments.

Something like that   

.... also, I think I heard on the news (or read somewhere) that the Court said that the way they read/interpreted the text of the U.S. Constitution was that the only time recess appointments could be made by The President was when the actual 'opening/vacancy' occurred while the Senate was not in session.

In my opinion they read it wrong.

I think if it gets to the Supreme Court they will over turn the lower court's ruling,
but I don't really have a clue since I am not an attorney or a judge and sometimes don't know what the heck I'm talking about   

So it boils down to 0bama over stepped his power, but lucky for him if it does make it to the SC in this lifetime they have Roberts there to help make sure it gets overturned.

Because they figured out that the dipshit Barry was past due for getting taken down a notch.

Not to worry dummies. By the time it works it's way to the Supreme Court, obumbles will be out of office and it will all become moot.

Now dummies... I want you to think long and hard about this, long and hard, and be truthful. If GW Bush would have done this would you have the same opinion?

We both know the answer to that whether you dummies want to admit it or not.   

Now let us say the Supreme Court sides with obumbles. I'm sure you dummies will celebrate, but like all dummies you can't see beyond tomorrow. Sooner or later a republican president and dem congress will be in power and the republican president will do the same thing. I predict that the wailing and gnashing of teeth and screams of unconstitutional will dominate the dump.... and we will be there to remind you of your hypocrisy. 

Be careful what you ask for dummies... you just may get it.
