This should be Boehners statement: the appeals court has ruled on the constitutionality of Obamas selections of members to the NLRB while congress was in session. If President Obama chooses to take this to the Supreme Court, congress will have no choice but to start impeachment proceedings based on high crimes and misdemeanors in violating the US constitution.
That’s it. Simple.
For the first time in YEARS I had Shep Smith on the tv. When he was talking with Ed Henry (who sits in the WH briefings - and obviously absorbs the Jay Carney spin) they both agreed that “Bush has done this many more times than Obama.
What ignoramuses!!!! But their soundbite and the transcript are now on record. I am so angry!!!
I remember vividly when Harry Reid invented the in-session ‘recess.’ Jim Webb drove over from VA about every three days and gavelled in the Senate, then gavelled it out again a few minutes later. I would not be surprised if that disgusted him enough to be the reason that he chose not to run for the Senate in this past election.
President Bush did have people nominated for various positions that were being thwarted by the Senate, but he did not go up against the Senate “Rule”, as Chairman maObama did.
