Why not—just give him everything he asks for, and be done with it.

What a weight off my mind to know that I'll never hear Harry Reid threatening to use the "Nuclear Option" ever again!
What's the over/under on this promise? Six months, maybe?

Republicans agreed to hold up-or-down votes on the NLRB nominees as part of a deal to avoid Senate rule changes limiting the minority's right to filibuster executive branch nominations. Two of the NLRB nominees confirmed were GOP picks -- Johnson and Miscimarra -- and Schiffer, Hirozawa and Pearce were Obama's nominees... Obama had to withdraw the nominations of Sharon Block and Richard Griffin... Block and Griffin were recess appointments to the labor board, but their appointments were ruled unconstitutional in federal court...

Why do we need an NLRB anyway? Defund it and shut it down.

Hey look, the Senate made a “deal” and replaced 0bama’s illegal recess appointee Communists with different appointee Communists!

Their 1st order of business will be to exempt all labor unions from obamacare.

The party in the WH traditionally get the majority on these five-person commissions and boards by 3 to 2 anyhow. And they can breathe easier that there won't be any change in Senate rules re filibustering nominations.

The GOP Senate caucus.

Nope, just the ones who didn’t actually read, the ones who preferred to jump to already-held conclusions based on the headline.

The NLRB settles labor disputes within the United States for businesses and protects workers rights.That's a lie and if any agency needs to be ended this is an easy one.

Yeah, you’ll notice that isn’t even on the table.
Tell us again just how conservative the GOP is?
