There's a lot of good stuff out there today! 9-0! He broke the law.

[Principled]

Reid’s response was predictable. Go nuclear for all appointments....

The Hero of Benghazi seems to be having some difficulty.

[blackdog]

Better put some ice on that Odungo.

[Citizen Zed]

Expect the Dems to somehow create extended recesses under the next GOP Prez.

[knarf]

WOO HOOOO .... and it's only THURSDAY^ !

PLENTY of time to get THIS out .... UNSPUN.

[thorvaldr]

So when does his trial start? Or is the constitution not supposed to protect us from tyrants?

[Marie]

That man is such a jerk.

[Gabrial]

He broke the law. Give him a fair trial and a fair sentence to be served in a federal prison.

-- Expect the Dems to somehow create extended recesses under the next GOP Prez. --

I think you mean the reverse of that, absence of a recess results in absence of power to recess appoint.

The DEMs started the practice of phony Congressional session, so the books look as though Congress is in session (not in recess) when it is actually not in session. They'd keep two people in DC, one to sit in the high chair, and one to open and close the session. I think the average time of being in session was about 30 seconds.

SCOTUS punted this too. The president and Congress have been allowing unconstitutional recess appointments for over a hundred years. SCOTUS says, well, if it's been going on that long, "poof," it's constitutional.

Does this mean those he illegally “appointed” will be removed? I can’t wait to see that not happen.

[Marie]

We have *got* to take everything this election. Unless we get back the Senate, they’ll never impeach.

On the other hand... Uncle Joe...

ug.

[bigbob]

9-0 on ANYTHING is pretty astonishing!

[Dr. Sivana]

If he chooses wrong on something that gets ruled 9-0, then we cannot trust his judgment on what a “smidgen” of corruption is.

[Star Traveler]

Obama could take a cue from President Lincoln or President Jackson and just IGNORE the US Supreme Court ... :-) ...

[precisionshootist]

Something tells me even the libs on the court are starting to fear a dictatorship and the inevitable response from the People.

[morphing libertarian]

I think it takes 2/3 of the senate to remove the hero of Benghazi.

But the majority would be nice if just to tell Reid to sit down.

[kjam22]

They’re contemplating what might happen with this power if a republican is elected president in a few years.

[Farmer Dean]

I would assume that they all have to go.See if the republicans force the issue or not,may be Boner will want to cry about it first.
