Slap!
He will ignore SCOTUS - this another thumbing by our royal dicktator to "WE THE PEOPLE", the Congress, and I am sure to the SCOTUS.

I don’t disagree. Sad when it’s come to the point where it’s even a possibility you’re about to lose your freedom of religion.

Let them enforce it.
Obama will ignore it.
Exactly. He knows they can’t enforce it, so he’s just laughing at this decision.
To: kabar
Obama will expedite all appointments should the Reps gain control of the Senate in the midterms
They WON'T after what the GOP did in Mississippi last Tuesday.

Say anything you want about it ... it’s a ruling nonetheless and it was ignored. The precedent is there.

I agree that Reid will take immediate action to nuclear option the rest of [non-judicial] appts.
But I think he’ll consider it well. Any change will carry over to republican control eventually. He risks a lot by giving Rs the power he is desiring.
He may do it then change it back. That would be fun to watch. Everything he does helps the Tea Party and damages the GOPE.

That’s a good question. I approach it from the opposite angle though: where in the Constitution does it forbid states from seceding? Because remember, at least the way it was originally written, the Constitution said “other than the powers enumerated herein, all rights are hereby reserved to the states, and the people” (paraphrased from memory)
So to me, that seems like there would need to be an amendment to the Constitution, at least at the time of the Civil War, that explicitly prohibited states from seceding from the Union, to make it “unconstitutional”. Otherwise that right is reserved for the states and the people.
Again I don’t know I’m no Constitutional scholar. Maybe we should ask Obama this question. < /sarc >
To: chessplayer
You are right, the courses cannot enforce the limits on the presidential appointments, but neither can the President enforce regulatory power of the illegitimate appointee.

I’m not a supporter of these particular Freepers, but I’ll warn you ... they’ll call you an idiot for not going along with them ... :-) ...

The actions against a self-declared “nation” which declared that the Constitution did not apply to them are not by definition unconstitutional. The court of that time took no further actions nor did the congress or anyone else take any active actions to force Lincoln to withdraw anything.
He did not allow the confederacy and their SC sympathizers to have it both ways; to ignore the Constitution yet demand it be applied to them.

I’ve been called names by idiots like secessionists in the past; doesn’t bother me. Not enough to convince me to follow them down the rabbit hole to hell and failure.

If the GOP takes over the Senate, my fear is that they will rescind the nuclear option.

The US Supreme Court decision that Lincoln ignored didn’t say secession was Unconstitutional. I don’t believe I said that.

McConnell has already stated he could change the Senate rules back, if he becomes Majority Leader.

That is as dumb as Boehner announcing he will not shut down the government -- translation: he gave up the power of the purse.

I guess my point would be that the Presidents do whatever they can “get away with” - to the extent of whether someone can actually stop them or not.

Where in the Constitution is there any explict right given to the states to secede? You have it upside down. The Constitution only authorizes the federal government to do certain things. Everything else is a power of the States, or the right of the people.
Governments have powers. People have rights.

We have been done in by the cowardice of the GOPe once again. I used to think it was cowardice but am now inclined to think of it as complicity.
