Mark Gaston Pearce, chairman of the National Labor Relations Board, issued the following statement in reaction to today’s DC Appeals Court decision that President Obama use of recess appointments to install three people on the NLRB last year was unconstitutional. The action renders the board without a quorum to act and potentially invalidates a year’s worth of actions and rulings by it. Pearce indicated that the NLRB will attempt to continue on regardless:

I really don’t see why they would change the day-to-day stuff.
Yes he did. I can’t wait to hear what Mark Levin has to say about this tonight.
NLRB chairman:
“How many divisions does the DC Appeals Court have?”
Hold them in contempt and toss their ass in jail
Can we citizen arrest these cretins?
There are many options. Individual litigants can ignore NLRB rulings; and, following the administration's lead, might as well feel free to ignore court rulings as well.
-- But this really is getting serious now. --
I enjoy a meaty constitutional crisis.
That said, I don't see much harm in the NLRB acting as though this decision will be reversed. If the case was heard in a different Circuit, the result would have been different - so, looking forward, current cases may end up with appellate courts holding that the appointments were constitutional.
Fascinating that there really isn't a rule of law, and that the constitution means whatever the most powerful bully says it means. SCOTUS, the ultimate bully, will speak up in due course.
That sounds like a great idea at this point. Mark Levin was involved in this case and he will probably have a lot to say tonight.
Is there anyone truly surprised that is is happening? Pretty obvious that the “mask was coming off” and he is going to completely ignore everything Congress or the Courts tell him to do. He is going to act like a dictator. Who will stop him?
I remember when we believed in the rule of law. That was a long time ago. I’m afraid that this will go on until the thugs in DC are forcefully reminded of where government derives its just powers - they’re not sensible enough to back off even when it’s appropriate to defer to human decency.
“Pearce indicated that the NLRB will attempt to continue on regardless:”
Good. And businesses should simply ignore any rulings or regulations coming from this illegitimate entity. They have a ruling from a federal court to fall back on.
It’s not a long march, we have arrived. We did nothing to stop it.
“What does it matter?”
The natural progression and consequence of the GOP going left.

The next step is to sue to have them return their illegal salaries they’ve been paid since their illegal appointments, their illegal health payments, and any other illegal benefits they’ve received. Oh yes, the illegal payments made for illegal security staff we’ve paid for, since they’re private citizens, not government employees. We must move to immediately garnish their bank accounts and cancel their automobile leases. Let them ride the metro.
I suspected that this was what would happen - Bambi & Co. would simply ignore the court.
And there’ll be absolutely no penalty to him or to the NLRB. The court can do whatever it wants, but Obama controls enforcement and nothing is going to stop him.
However, he has checked this off in his little black (pardon the word) book, and the lives of this panel will be hell.
I think it’s going to take the Seals, perp marching him & The Mooch out of the WH (only half ‘joking’ here).
