-- It's about time Obummer was cut off at the knees for one of his unconstitutional actions. --

Application of this precedent would invalidate nearly ALL of the recess appointments made in the last three decades. Seriously. Judges, boards, etc. The DC Circuit says that the recess appointment power is only applicable to a vacancy that is created during a recess (few are, given that "the recess" is typically a few weeks of the year, at most); and may only be exercized during the recess. Once the Senate is in session (no adjournment sine die), there is no recess.

Anyway, I agree with your sentiment, that it is about time a Court actually followed the constitution; and too bad for Obama. [insert Nelson Luntz "Ha Ha" here]
