    Nope. No president has ever used the "recess app't" like Obama did. He abused it. 9 Supreme Ct justices said so. NOT ONE dissenting opinion. Kinda hard to argue. They've used it in true times of "recess", yes; but not when there wasn't a prescribed time.

    And I'm not sure but think the Ct's interpretation will tighten the use of that tactic so Orgasm has hurt those who follow him. Not that it's a bad thing.

    This case wasn't so much about recess appointments in general, as prior Presidents have made more than PBO. It was about him sneaking 3 new NLRB appointments in in January of 2012. The President claimed that Congress was not in session but that wasn't the case. He just did what he does when he gets frustrated or doesn't like the laws that require certain actions....he bypasses it because he chooses to.

    Both parties have been jockeying around trying to subvert the process and long-standing protections for the minority party. It's typical Washington game-playing and it's getting tiring. Pathetic that the SC had to waste it's time playing kindercare.

    there is no abuse, because if you can do it, you can do it, there is no limit to recess appointments, the argument was over whether the senate was in session or not. end of story.

    Exactly. Why was there such argument? Cause it WAS but he tried to say "Recessed"- which was wrong/abuse. This is pretty big. Aren't any/all actions taken going to be invalidated?

    But c'mon. You're a very intelligent guy. Seriously.




    I get that but technically, it is.

    It's stuff like this that turns me off about the dick. A leader just does not engage in this kind of behavior. CEO's, Town Mayors, Governors, etc just don't get in (and stay in) pissing contests publicly.

    Think about the workplace in general. An employee gets disciplined, leaves his superior's office, and tells his colleagues about the BS that went down. The "boss", on the other hand, doesn't go round telling everyone about the incident and how/why he was right, etc.

    HE is the "leader" HE should set the tone...but in the case of the weakass in the whitehouse, he doesn't cause he's a classless piece of shyt who lacks self confidence.


    Especially coming a day after he was boinked on the head for overstepping.

    What planet do you live on? The pissing contests between mayors and councilmen goes on everywhere. It is WAR in Baton Rouge. It is very public with many accusations, resignations, firings, and other foolishness played out in the press. It is no different in academia or in corporate America. CEO's and Presidents can get outright ridiculous in making public charges and countercharges.

    Wise up and get some facts before blowharding like Limbaugh. Certain European allies have never needed visas to get into the US just like we don't need visas to visit them. Obama did not create this, Congress did 70 years ago.

    Obama has recognized the problem of European jihadis easy access and is taking steps to address it, according to your own source. What the fuck is wrong with that?

    I understand that and was actually referring to the Mexican border.


    He got shot down again today. Bada bing. Another over-reach with his Osama care. See the "Hobby Lobby" deal, amigo.
