Interesting considering that the Senate is STILL IN SESSION. That makes these “recess” appointments illegal.

So GOP, got balls enough to shove this back down Barry’s throat? Considering he is an illegal POTUS you better start taking your testosterone supplements.

Next, Obama will say that it is HIS opinion that the Senate is in recess, and therefore his recess appointment is valid.

That will force another Constitutional Crisis because the Senate is allowed to make its own rules, not the President. The President's "opinion" of Congress' status is irrelevant.

That is why McConnell, with Boehner at his side to show Republican unity, must state that they will not accept the appointments as a proper legal act and will treat the positions as still vacant, and that these people have no legal authority.

I recently replied to someone saying it was the Supreme Court that made this legal (Evans v. Stephans). I was incorrect.

This was made legal by the 11th circuit court. It was never brought to the Supreme Court.

To that end it was Bush 43rd that brought this legal challenge to the forefront. Basically....once again we can thank him for another horribly bad decision that is being used against us.
