Say it aint so.
Doubtful
Does he still have his pen and his phone?
No. That cannot be done. Senate has to approve the nominee to the court.
Congress can block it if they have the cojones to do it.
No.
But when has that ever stopped him?
It would be revolution though. That’s not an exaggeration either.
I don’t think so...but you never know with this sodomite muslim scumbag
Don’t go into recess.
Obama will appoint a Muslim
Let’s see, Republican Senate and the word “if” used with cajones...
It won't be for life
the Senate will not be going into recess. the Repubs will use all the plays in the playbook -
If Obama pulled some shenanigans and Cruz went nuclear to shut him down, I think I’d have to elevate Cruz to my #1 slot.
The Supreme Court delivered a blow Thursday to President Obama, ruling that he went too far in making recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board.
[audio-clip]
In a unanimous decision, the high court sided with Senate Republicans and limited the president's power to fill high-level vacancies with temporary appointments. It was the first-ever Supreme Court test involving the long-standing practice of presidents naming appointees when the Senate is on break.
In this case, Obama had argued that the Senate was on an extended holiday break when he filled slots at the NLRB in 2012. He argued the brief sessions it held every three days were a sham that was intended to prevent him from filling the seats.
The justices rejected that argument, though, declaring the Senate was not actually in a formal recess when Obama acted during that three-day window.
But a recess appointment carries limitations....which I would have to look up....
He can do what he wants now that the courts are in his favor.
You can be sure that the Rats are going to pull all the stops to get their guy in. We have to be just as determined to stop them.
####ing damned straight!!
Antonin Scalia was a great man and deserves the respect of waiting until next year for a replacement.
A great American and hero to many Italian Americans, obama isn’t fit to say his name.
Tonight’s a night or mourning.
SCOTUS ruled on this in the NLRB case that Obama lost. As long as the Senate stays in session like it did to stop NLRB appointments like Obama made anyway, they are void.
The Senate decides when it is in recess. Not our Imam in Chief or any real President either.
