Federal appeals court rules Obama recess appointments to labor board are unconstitutional

WaPo ^ | 01.25.13 | A.P.

-- I believe it very likely that the Supreme Court will refuse to hear this case; that they will consider it an "argument between branches of the government" that they will not wish to get involved in any further than necessary. --

If SCOTUS holds that the issue is not judiciable, then the ruling below is quashed, and the appointments are restored.

[AFPhys]

I don’t believe that USSC will take it up even to that extent (to rule it “not judicible”) but I suspect we’re likely to find that out within a month or two.

Some of the crap he has already done is impeachable in my view

Maybe I missed something. Did he lie under oath?

[plain talk]

“Did Obama lie under oath”?

so you think lying under oath is the only impeachable offense?

here is one list of potential impeachable offenses.

I don’t agree or disagree with this list. I do think there should have been impeachment hearings to examine some of these items. (but the Senate would never convict? waah waah) so friggin’ what? Impeach the bastard anyway

“The ruling acknowledged that it conflicts in parts with what other federal appeals courts have held about recess appointments.”

That rather sets this opinion up for SCOTUS.

I didn’t even think of the judges and the cases they heard. That’s even a bigger mess.
