Re: Justices skeptical of Obama’s recess appointment claim
Not really sure if Reid's hypocritical move to grab power will be heard by the SC.
Maybe so, I surely was a supporter of GWB as a Commander in Chief, but quite a few things he did in domestic policy, such as signing statements, and EO's I had problems with. So, don't be so foolish as to see "conservative" in the lean and just broad brush your dislike of Bush on to some sort of support of him from me on poor governance..
Again, not sure...But, one thing, EO's are not just declaring the Senate in recess, and appointing whom they were holding session to block. That was an astonishing bit of hubris that sets a precedent making the house and senate largely ineffectual on appointments, and possibly for the passage of laws should future President's and their Congresses go down that road. It was not American at all.
But a further note, I understand that you must totally rely on the blame Bush mantra even 5 years plus in to this administration because Obama is doing exactly what you claimed Bush did, on steroids. So, the only thing you are projecting here is akin to a childs argument often heard by Teachers in the forum...."Well, Jimmy did it too!" It doesn't wash for kids, and shouldn't wash for supposed adults.
Now that there is a nuclear option, isn't this case really moot?
Could we possibly see the SCOTUS rule on the constitutionality of the "nuclear option"?

Would these be the same usual talking points that conservative posters used defending Bush's preponderance of Executuve orders?

Did the Dems ever take Bush to Court over EOs ?
