AP-Obama and WaPo-Obama rushing to support their Kenyan savior.

Well, how ‘bout it Mr. McConnell? You gonna let Hussein do this s**t without repercussions?

LYING LIARS in Big Media! Our country would not be in such dire straits if we had an UNBIASED MEDIA! National journalism is in it’s death throes. Good riddance!

I would think that only Congress could declare themselves in or out of session.

The Constitution is very clear, they are not in recess.

Any that believe the FBI is that/this stupid is delusional..

The FBI has been penetrated.. and is complicit..

McConnell needs to put the heat on Dingy Hairy and publicly ask him “is the Senate in recess or not”? Put it on him to clear up this “misunderstanding” with the WH. Since Reid is already supporting obama on this we can tie this issue in with all the other brazen partisanship from the Senate dims.

Sell it to the electorate as: Congress isn’t the problem. Democrats are the problem!

Just remember, Democrats, what goes around, comes around. This would give the next Republican President a blank ticket to appoint whomever he chooses whenever he chooses.

The MSM is correct in their assessment, but it is clear what the original intent of the Founding Fathers was, to provide continuity in government at a time in which it took weeks to assemble Congress for a confirmation vote. The question is first whether the courts will grant cert. and second if they will rule on original intent.

I don't see this as a battle we can easily win--if at all. He can only serve until January of next year.

I really think there will be a special place in hell for hussein.

Congress ought to impeach and remove this Cordray as his appointment itself is unconstitutional. Then they should impeach and remove the fool who appointed him.

[Jeff Head]

How about if there isn’t a recess? Does it cover it then?

If the Congress indicates it was not in recess and that no recess was called, then a President cannot constitutionally make a recess appointment.

[tacticalogic]

Sounds like they’ve recycled Al Gore’s “No controlling legal authority” excuse.
