If the High Court fails to put a stop to this, I’d say we’re done for.

Dude, that ship sailed a few years back. This ruling will do nothing to save us.

Big deal. Looks like even the Liberal Justices are on board with this. Won’t mean much.

What we SHOULD be screaming about is the SCOTUS denial of cert in the AZ abortion case. This is drivel. That is a catastrophe.

I bet most of them are appointments made within a legal, valid recess, and that the numbers for Bush-Bush and Clinton-Obama are the same.

That’s about what happened when they looked at Obamacare but they let it pass anyway.

Does this mean we get to undo three years worth of decisions and acts committed by these pretenders?

Imagine he was talking about financial malfeasance. Wouldn’t we want to recover every dollar stolen?

These guys become agents of Big Government whenever they move to DC. We need to relocate the Supreme Court to ND and the Congress can communicate by Skype.

I bet you’re right. Obama loves to thumb his nose at a document he despises and the media carries water for him all the way to the River Styx.

You didn't read either the article or my response correctly.

The 300 appointments the article and I am talking about are the ones that WEREN'T made during a normal recess, and I still guess that a vastly greater number happened under Klink and Obamao.

I think the 300 include inter session recesses.

Separate divisions of government is critical to our republic. I'm not ready to write off America just because a majority of fools determined the last election.

From the article:

Under the narrow ruling, more than 300 appointments since 1981 would not have been authorized,...
