If the High Court fails to put a stop to this, I’d say we’re done for.

Dude, that ship sailed a few years back. This ruling will do nothing to save us.

[RIghtwardHo]

Big deal. Looks like even the Liberal Justices are on board with this. Won’t mean much.

What we SHOULD be screaming about is the SCOTUS denial of cert in the AZ abortion case. This is drivel. That is a catastrophe.

I bet most of them are appointments made within a legal, valid recess, and that the numbers for Bush-Bush and Clinton-Obama are the same.

What’s the diff since Dingey Harry killed the filibuster?

Yep. The fix is already in.

You didn't read either the article or my response correctly.

The 300 appointments the article and I am talking about are the ones that WEREN'T made during a normal recess, and I still guess that a vastly greater number happened under Klink and Obamao.

[Jim Noble]

I think the 300 include inter session recesses.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Separate divisions of government is critical to our republic. I'm not ready to write off America just because a majority of fools determined the last election.

From the article:

Under the narrow ruling, more than 300 appointments since 1981 would not have been authorized,...
