There is one other option. The House can refuse to fund the NLRB. We’ll see if they have the spine for that. But this really is getting serious now. We have the Obama Admin standing in direct defiance and disrespect of the enumerated powers of the two other branches of government.
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.

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.
Given this administration blatant disregard for any rules whatsoever I am not sure that would matter. Hopefully I am wrong but it seems they could still continue with or without the House's blessings and Treasury continue to pay them. I guess my question is this ... if push came to shove could the House ... in reality ... defund anything? or would NLRB and Treasury just plow forward without a budget and without authorization and just spend money however it wishes? Who would stop them? John Boehner?
Which is exactly what we want. Send this and your comments out to everyone on your email list. Publish this and retweet it over and over again.
We need to point out the neverending corruption of the Obama Administration. The Constitutional abuses must be brought to the forefront. Talk about Benghazi and all the lies and Hilary’s little show. Talk about Fast and Furious and the hundreds of Mexican dead, toss in that American Border Guard and ask them is they know his name.
In short, do everything that Romney should have done for a year.
Of course they will appeal, that will take years, and if it gets to the Supreme Court, Obama still owns that court.
Thank you Justice Roberts.
