Washington Post: Obama’s recess appointments are unconstitutionalBy Edwin Meese III and Todd Gaziano,January 05, 2012 President Obama’s attempt to unilaterally appoint three people to seats on the National Labor Relations Board and Richard Cordray to head the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (after the Senate blocked action on his nomination) is more than an unconstitutional attempt to circumvent the Senate’s advise-and-consent role. It is a breathtaking violation of the separation of powers and the duty of comity that the executive owes to Congress. Yes, some prior recess appointments have been politically unpopular, and a few have even raised legal questions. But never before has a president purported to make a “recess” appointment when the Senate is demonstrably not in recess. That is a constitutional abuse of a high order.

Just more idiots on GLP who don't understand the system. A president or a congress being overruled by the courts doesn't mean the president or congress are impeached. That's not how it works. The reason why there is a balance of powers is not to kick someone out when one side overrules the other -- but to keep things moving forward, to allow one person to make a decision, then to decide if it is justified. Plus, if you look at SCOTUS, its opinions in the past support the president here. Which is why he will win in the end on this one, too. Just because a lower court makes a ruling doesn't mean that is the end of the question. Morons. Really, where did you go to school? Orly Taitz school of law? |
