Sanity -> Our Big-Eared "Constitutional Scholar" Clueless (6/26/2014 8:12:19 AM)

All nine Supreme Court justices agree:

Supreme Court strikes down Obama recess appointments

So much for the leftist dream of weaponizing Homeland, DOJ, EPA, etc

What laughable ignorant shit is that? Nothing has changed, the appointments are the appointments, so much for the rightist shitlicking moronics. Pretty empty victory considering what it cost the nutsackers for the obstruction.

Beyond your bizarre conspiracy tin-foil nuttiness...

The Supreme Court struck down just three of his recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board as unconstitutional, and did not go as far as some conservatives hoped to undercut the president’s ability to fill vacant executive branch posts and judicial slots.

The court ruled hte appointments were unconstitutional because the Senate was not truly in recess when he made them during a three-day break in pro forma meetings of the Senate.

[from your own link]

So essentially, he just has to wait for when they are truly in recess, then appoint away as he chooses.

The Senate's real option is to do their job and fill vacancies instead of tying them up over multiple other issues.

But reading further in the article, they have done that, nuclear option.



Musicmystery -> RE: Our Big-Eared "Constitutional Scholar" Clueless (6/26/2014 8:26:22 AM)

Now, MY "leftist" dream is to dismantle the Department of Homeland Theater bullshit Bush saddled us with. Just cut it. Entirely.



Sanity -> RE: Our Big-Eared "Constitutional Scholar" Clueless (6/26/2014 8:27:27 AM)

Personal attack, doesn't mean anything, insane bullshit, standard response...

The wheels are coming off of this imperial presidency one by one and it is interesting to watch as even his faithful media elites abandon him

Too bad he can't just have Lois Lerner audit his growing enemies list into oblivion, right

Careful, you'll get an IRS drone up your ass

Social media IS monitored

Oh, yeah, headed for the fuckin rhubarb alright in bizzaro world. Lois Lerner is a GWB appointee. The nutsackers are in hysterics and shitting their pants. This is normal everyday stuff.



Musicmystery -> RE: Our Big-Eared "Constitutional Scholar" Clueless (6/26/2014 8:31:05 AM)

WHAT personal attack?

Not only is the response totally on your point, it even uses your link as evidence.

You already know, but ignore, that I'm not a fan of Bush Lite. But Cheney did his best to strengthen the presidency (and I warned at the time this as a dangerous precedent, regardless of party), and Bush Lite is taking advantage.

And, other than three appointments, "the imperial president" as you call him (fair enough -- I referred to King George III) is getting his way.

Where was your right-kissing ass when I opposed the Patriot Act, then and now?

Another Katrina era incompetent.

"It was only bad when Bush-lite did something almost kinda sorta in a way similar. Now that Bush-on-steroids is going all in with his police state goons there's nothing to see here..."

"It's all Bush-lites fault anyway..."



Musicmystery -> RE: Our Big-Eared "Constitutional Scholar" Clueless (6/26/2014 8:45:41 AM)

Mittens was Bush on Steroids.

Bush Lite is a disappointment, but there's a trend going back to Cheney. It will be worse with the next president, whomever that turns out to be.

But you only parrot your masters' talking points, opposing only when it's partisan hay.

Even when it's bullshit hay.

She was federal elections commission, and I am sure the IRS was her payoff for Florida, but like all the incompetents GW appointed, the chickens are home to roost, we won't be out of this shit for another 10 years.

Or the structural economic mess he created unnecessarily.



Sanity -> RE: Our Big-Eared "Constitutional Scholar" Clueless (6/26/2014 8:55:19 AM)

Big-eared Barry Soetero is Bush on steroids

When W signed the Patriot Act leftists went apoplectic

When Barry Soetero signed it you could hear a feather drop



mnottertail -> RE: Our Big-Eared "Constitutional Scholar" Clueless (6/26/2014 8:56:15 AM)

That we may never get out of, with the free market communist nutsackers running around shitting their pants loudly.

Actually, Dems were sheep both times around. They were too worried about appearing spineless.

But since I'm not their poster child, you'll have to take that up with them.

I'm not the partisan puppet you love to be.




DomKen -> RE: Our Big-Eared "Constitutional Scholar" Clueless (6/26/2014 9:35:17 AM)

Sanity's racist crap aside this ruling is problematic.

The Senate did not stay in session to thwart the President. The House refused to recess and the Senate cannot recess if the House is in session (Article 1 section 5 of the Constitution).

So a hostile House can in theory prevent recess appointments from ever happening. Add in the glacial pace at which things get done in the Senate and the sheer number of people that are required to have Senate approval for their jobs and it becomes impossible to get all those positions filled if the opposition party chooses to not cooperate.



Musicmystery -> RE: Our Big-Eared "Constitutional Scholar" Clueless (6/26/2014 10:37:47 AM)

Well the other troubling aspect is that the suit was brought by Pepsi, because they didn't like the labor oversight.
