What are chances Barry will do a recess appointment of Becker on Monday (President’s Day)? That is my fear. Well one of my many fears.
Gee, apparently Scott Brown being the 41st vote emboldens Dem senators to oppose Obamaniacs.
These weasels are already attempting a mid-course correction before the November elections.
Oh my! See Ben and Blanche run.
Guess those dems are just a “joke” then.
Looks like Blanche and Ben are pretending to be conservatives. Will it fool the voters?
The list, ping
And it has shaken up some of those ‘blue dogs’ who were busy rolling over and playing dead.....interesting
That only adds up to 85 votes.

Vote tally was 52-33, 8 short of 60 needed to pass.
.....just defeated on a cloture vote 52-33. ......
....And that 41st vote, represented by Scott Brown, made all the difference today! ......
The two statements don’t jibe.
I can hardly wait until November! LOL

Mr. Becker has other ideas. In a 1993 Minnesota Law Review article, written when he was a UCLA professor, he explained that traditional notions of democracy should not apply in union elections. He wrote that employers should be barred from attending NLRB hearings about elections, and from challenging election results even amid evidence of union misconduct.
He believes elections should be removed from work sites and held on "neutral grounds," or via mail ballots. Employers should also be barred from "placing observers at the polls to challenge ballots."
More extraordinary, Mr. Becker advocated a new "body of campaign rules" that would severely limit the ability of employers to argue against unionization.
He argued that any meeting a company holds that involves a "captive audience" ought to be grounds for overturning an election. If a company wants to distribute leaflets that oppose the union, for example, Mr. Becker said it must allow union access to its private property to do the same.
Mr. Becker isn't clear about which of these rules can be implemented by NLRB fiat, and which would require an act of Congress, but his mindset is clear enough. He's willing to push NLRB discretion as far as possible to tilt today's labor rules in favor of easier unionization.
I can’t help it...I’m SMIRKING.
(Dream scenario is that Obama is found 'illegitimate' - if only by 2012; whereby EVERY thing this man has done; signed. . .is undone; made null and void; and every appointment and signing that he invited/approved undone as well.
In a word; everything this man has done while empowered is ERASED. Oh well, best case scenario; but the stuff of dreams.)
“Scott Brown (R., Mass.)”
OOOooooooeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! That capital “R” just before “Mass”... man, it just puts a smile on your face!!
Big Labor, pleased, they be not.
Looks like the unions have been the Democrat Party’s ATM Machine for 25 yrs. and have gotten bupkis in return.
