Or as Redstate says, call and thank Mr. Boehner personally for his latest tactic.
Or thank Obama for forcing this hand.
What hand?
The one that says the Senate needs the House’s approval to recess for more than 3 days, which is the minimum needed for recess appointments by the executive. Boehner’s house did not approve.
The Senate has blocked several of the more radical nominees, but under the Constitution, President Obama has the power to appoint them during a Congressional recess.
Republican Senators warned Obama not to use his recess powers to appoint Becker to the NLRB. He did it anyhow. Becker didn’t disappoint, leading the NLRB to accuse Boeing of violating workers rights by opening a plant in South Carlolina.
They HAD to do it!
UPDATE: I’m getting there….the link has been finally fixed from the iPad. Whew.
