A third federal appeals court ruled Wednesday that President Obama violated the Constitution last year when he made recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board, adding more weight to the case as it goes before the Supreme Court in the justices next session.

The GOOBers pulled Barry’s chestnuts out of the fire. The Constitution doesn’t mean anything to them either.

No big deal. The DOJ (re:Holder) looks the other way. Will try to overturn the court somehow.

When the Senate is in “real” recess, the House is notified of such. When did the Senate tell the House it was in recess? Oh, that’s right....it DIDN’T.

Obama is certainly an expert constitutional law professor.
Of the Soviet Union.
