>>In an opinion by Chief Justice John Roberts, the court said that under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act, a person cannot serve as the acting head of a federal agency once the president nominates him or her to permanently serve in the role if it is a position that requires U.S. Senate confirmation.

At first I thought this was just procedural.
Then I realized obozo was using it to make PERMANENT appointment by doing a temporary one and making it permanent, thus bypassing the Senate.
Good ruling.
It may be a good ruling in this case but Justice Roberts is compromised. He can’t be counted on to do the right thing.
Maybe this summer when he goes on his annual outing with his ‘friends’ he should avoid going hunting at a certain Texas ranch.
The 6-2 split shows how other decisions could go.
