RE :”Article 1, Section 5 of the Constitution of the United States...“Clause 4: Neither House, during the Session of Congress, shall, without the Consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other Place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting.” Boehner didn’t recess the House, and they have been having pro-forma sessions. Congress is NOT in recess, so Obama has violated the Constitution WRT his recess appointments.”’

That's all well known.
But as I pointed out a lawsuit can't be filed without a plaintiff having ‘standing’ or it will get thrown out. So that means waiting until someone is harmed by this new agency. But that might be a credit card company or mortgage bank trying to charge fees or foreclose. Politically that would help Obama get re-elected with the case not being decided until after the election.

That is why Republicans are just talking not doing anything. The Republican party really is the clueless party.

It's the line about Bauchus not calling for a legal challenge from Congress that bothers me.

Congress could go directly to the Supreme Court for a ruling.

Were Bush recess appointments allowed to do through during Dingy Harry’s pro forma sessions?

Good points.

Politically (and “public relationswise”) this needs to be addressed in the Senate as an abuse of power and an affront to that body.

Not by all Republicans as a group but by one as an individual- one Senator refusing “unanimous consent” until the Senate took up and dealt with the issue.

One of the RINO girls from Maine could make an historic name for herself.
