It's about damn time. But more importantly, why hasn't this been posted here yet? It used to be a race to post good stories, but now the same stories sit on the sidebars for days, while news rages on.

Here's another nice little nugget from the article:

“The Senate should decide when the Senate is in session,” said Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., who joked that Obama might try to make “recess appointments” when the chamber is in lunch recess.

This “should be” a very simple case, ruled in the favor of the Senators! The Constitution has left it pretty clear that Congress has the power to determine it’s own rules and such, so if Congress had not declared a “recess” then Obama is simply WRONG and does NOT have the authority to determine when Congress is in “recess!” PERIOD, END OF STORY!

“Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said that his side would join a suit brought by Noel Canning, a family-owned business in Washington State that bottles and distributes soft drinks. The company is challenging the NLRB’s determination that it must enter into a collective bargaining agreement with a labor union.”

WHY did the republicans not file a suit instead of waiting for a private company to do the heavy lifting?

It was posted earlier today, different source and title...

Miguel Estrada, victim of Democrat filibuster, to fight Obama appointments

As I said on the earlier thread, good move by the Republicans, it proves they occasionally have a pulse.

Well said! Thanks for this thread.

IMHO, Obama is a Dictator because our RINO Congress won’t shout him down.

Perhaps Boehner and McConnell will have the backbone to not cave-in to Obama on this issue.

A dictator, such as Obama, only has the power that the people give him.

Currently, at least 40 % of American voters are gladly willing to give Obama the necessary power to continue his dictatorship.

Dictator Obama has designed Obama”care” to become active only AFTER he is re-elected, thus enabling THE NINE SUPREMES to delay ruling on the Constitutionality of the dictate of the individual mandate until Obama is once again the Illegal Foreign White House Occupier, (IFWHO).

The purpose of Dictator Baby-Doc Barack is simple: 1.) Regulate; 2.) Control; and 3.) Destroy. By his own count he as achieved 60 % of his goals, according to the note he says he carries in his pocket.

Obama’s obvious deep hatred of America could have only come from his childhood.

Since there are no known networks of childhood friends from Obama’s past, Obama was probably a member of a Marxist sleeper cell funded by wealthy men with a Marxist view of the World.

The lack of credible evidence that has NOT been forged requires a long-term, highly skilled and well-funded support group.

Who the key members of Obama’s probable support group and probable sleeper cell were and are is well known to the CIA and the FBI.

Will the “Citizen Journalists” such as Breitbart Editor Joel Pollack be able to out-spy these two tax-funded spy entities?

BTW, forget about the LAM, (Liberal Agenda Media), as they are saving their notes to write their tell-all Obama books after Obama has SAFELY retired back home in Kenya.

BTW, BTW, to all the doubters of the above speculation: what does your gut tell you?

I your Lord and God will make appointments whenever I choose, regardless of your puny minds. You are powerless before my mighty glory!

LOL.... Seriously? The self described foreign law professor barack hussein obomba doesn’t care what the law or law enforcement thinks. I can still see him chiding the Supreme Court of the United States during one of his State of the Union addresses and listening to him instruct the Supreme Court on how they should rule on his obombacare monstrosity. Doe anyone really think he gives a rat’s rear about a few Senators filing suit against him for a few questionable ‘recess’ appointments? When these same Senators do something about impeaching this illegal alien for illegally occupying the White House let me know.

It looks like this is the third court challenge and the first that the Senate has joined:

Federal Court in N.Y. Won't Rule on Obama Recess Appointments - WSJ.com)

March 28, 2012

A federal judge in New York declined to rule on whether President Barack Obama's recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board violate the U.S. Constitution, leaving the widely debated question unresolved for now. The decision marked the second time a court has declined to rule on the matter.

The first legal challenge to the appointments was made in January. The judge overseeing that case, which challenged an NLRB regulation that was approved last year before the recess appointments, also declined to rule on the constitutionality question. That judge said the regulation was created by a quorum of "undisputedly" authorized board members well before the recess appointments were announced. Several other cases are pending that challenge the recess appointments, though it's unclear when and if those will be decided.

What a bunch of silly pussies.

Congress begging the Judicial Branch to intervene...when Congress has the power to remove a POTUS and the judicial branch does not.

Silly pussies. Disgusting excuses for citizens if you ask me.

Perhaps we’re all still in shock that a few near-worthless Senate RINOs might have finally started trying to grow a pair...?

That or we all figure the good Senator Mitch “Reach Around” McConnell will eventually torpedo this before it gets started.
