In a 9-0 vote, the Supreme Court has tossed out Obama’s ‘recess appointments’ that Obama tried to sneak past the Senate when it wasn’t actually in recess.
Looks like the Master of the Universe (in his own mind) will have to abide by SOME laws.
he US Supreme Court today limited a president’s power to make recess appointments when the White House and the Senate are controlled by opposite parties, scaling back a presidential authority as old as the republic.
The case arose from a political dispute between President Obama and Senate Republicans, who claimed he had no authority to put three people on the National Labor Relations Board in January 2012 when the Senate was out of town.

He used a president’s power, granted by the Constitution, to “fill up all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the Senate.” But the Republicans said the Senate was not in recess at the time the appointments were made, because every three days a senator went into the chamber, gaveled it to order, and then immediately called a recess.
Is it retroactive ??? What happens to all the “Laws” they have passed since being illegally appointed ???? Can they be declared null and void ???
The Supreme Court FINALLY got a vote correct. We can’t help but wonder what went wrong with them on that day. Each of them must not have felt like themselves. As one friend of mine used to say, “The must have each had a fight with their spouse that morning before going in to the court to vote and just forgot to vote the straight communist line.”
About time some one put a stop to his illegal acts. I vote to impeach him…asap!
What? Got a migraine.. U earned it.
GOD WILL BETHE NEXT TO JUDGE YOU AND YOUR MUSLIM BUDDIES
its about time someone stood up to the $#%&!@*!!!!
GOOD GOOD GOOD STAND UP TO THE DICK FACE LIAR
Impeach BO and make 2 countries happy.
This was very good for the citizens of this country and very bad for the office of the Presidency. I’m surprised the Obama administration pushed this all the way to the Supreme Court. They just wiped out decades of accumulated jurisprudence relating to Presidential powers. This is also the 13th. time they have ruled unanimously against him. You would think he’d get the message.
bout time to start runnin bo
