Breaking: Obama also set to make recess appointments to the NLRB
WaPo ^ | 1/4/12 | Greg Sargent

It isn’t just Richard Cordray. Obama is also set to use recess appointments to install his picks to the National Labor Relations Board, according to White House officials and others familiar with ongoing discussions.

The move, which is arguably as impotant as the Cordray appointment, will ratchet up opposition from Republicans and make this an even bigger fight, since they have been attacking the NLRB regularly for its moves to streamline union elections and inform workers of their rights.

Obama is set to appoint Sharon Block, Terence Flynn, and Richard Griffin to the board — something unions have made a big priority for them in the new year. Senate Republicans have opposed the recess appointments to the NLRB on constitutional grounds, but unions charge that Republicans are only interested in rendering the agency inoperative.

>absolutely! anyone knowingly giving Obama a second term because their 10/10 candidate did not win the primary is a pofs IMHO.

Even so, I’m reminded of NY-23.
Just because the Republican party nominates someone is no reason to vote for them.

You have to go way back and read it thoroughly because the past few months he’s been making a real attempt to appear conservative because too many FReepers have been calling him out. He’s afraid of the zot so he’s throwing some bones to the mods.

You're a foolish troll.

There is NO recess thus these are not "recess appointments" by definition.

Actual recess appointments are commonplace throughout our history.

This is a deliberate, willful, constitutional crisis.

hope you had a good new year and Christmas pal.

I usually ignore the posts, read and move on etc but this time I thought I’d reply.

Reading back their past posts then it sounds like another long time troll.

““Un-flippin believable! If a Republican President had pulled this kind of crap, the national media and the Democrats would be screaming for impeachment hearings TODAY!”

Exactly!

....And it’s past time to fight these UN-Constitutional actions he’s taking.
