Democrat NLRB ‘recess’ appointments rushed, don’t appear on White House nominee list

Re: Democrat NLRB ‘recess’ appointments rushed, don’t appear on White House nominee l

when did the Senate Democrats filibuster ALL appointees to a federal agency, thereby seeking to prevent the agency from functioning?

dude, you have no idea what you're talking about.


I have already posted over and over, from multiple sources all of these questions you do nothing more than repeat after they have been answered, and sourced. I am done with this dumb ****.

I am sorry that you consider this to be dumb ****, but the fact is the Democrats NEVER threatened to filibuster ALL appointees to head an agency, thereby trying to hobble the agency into non-functioning.

I am sorry that you consider this to be dumb ****, but the fact is ALL Federal officers can be impeached, including the most recent appointee by Obama.

Progressive. This thread is about President Obama bypassing the Advise and Consent duty, and prescribed authority, beholden the Senate. Not about the impeachment process and some absurd notion of oversight via such.. The OP (mine) notes that President Obama went from picking who he wanted to then straight appointment, via the powers of Recess Appointments, bypassing the Senate, and the ramifications of such unprecedented action.

So take the crap to the appropriate thread. Thanks.

sorry, but the POTUS has the power to make Recess Appointments when Congress is not in session.

I am also about to put that one on Ignore. My first as a member here, but I am tired of the foolishness as well.

you are more than welcome to put anyone on ignore.

When I finish this post, you are on Ignore. As noted, the President bypassed all the background checks, and evaluations, required of such folks. Buh bye. Sorry, but I won't be seeing your posts anymore.

The Constitution, is not a law. It is a set of laws & rules.

Now, which law did Obama break? Does he not have the power to make Recess Appointments?

sure he does.

The Constitution is the law of the land.

That's where he ****ed up...Congress was still in session.

I asked what law was broken.

which specific law in the Constitution did Obama break?
 
Re: Democrat NLRB ‘recess’ appointments rushed, don’t appear on White House nominee l

OMG! :lamo

Article One, section Five of the Constitution states:


Neither House, during the Session of Congress, shall, without the Consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days...

Obama borke the law. It's time for him to face impeachment.

Neither the House nor the Senate were in session on January 4th. Therefore, the recess appointment was legal.

Perhaps Mr. Deuce could find a less biased source? Surely it would be hard to find a more biased one. Even the WSJ concedes that several Republicans had promised to block ANY NLRB nominations in protest of the Boeing case (despite the fact that it resulted in no action being taken). In other words, this is the same old Republican game: we're going to block you no matter who you present, but we still insist that you go through the motions so we can ignore your choices.

The Journal also notes that one of the appointees is a REPUBLICAN who was nominated over a year ago.

The original article that I linked had all that info. If you would care to point out an inaccurate or biased quote, then we'd all be interested.

But if all you have is nonsense to sling, without any facts, why do you bother ?

My bad, I looked at the second link you posted.

Perhaps you could address the substantive point, which is that Republicans had no intention of approving any appointee, including the Republican appointee, because -- once again -- they were abusing the process to protest an agency?

So you have a crystal ball now ? So the President can just bypass "advise and consent" because he expects the Senate not to consent, so screw it ?

I am genuinely curious. You are clearly liberal. And I assume American. Which are you first ? I am serious as a heart attack in asking, and you know exactly what I am talking about.

The President can make use of recess appointments when it is crystal clear that the advice and consent process has been hijacked -- absolutely.

I'll pass on the idiotic patriotism slur. Perhaps you should switch to water?

I got my answer. Actually, a confirmation of what I already knew.

Look at your own homophobe comment with regard to slurs in the other thread there stone-thrower. You are too easily pwned.

I suspect that when you resort to childish name calling you've already been "pwned", whatever the **** that means. :lol:
 
Re: Democrat NLRB ‘recess’ appointments rushed, don’t appear on White House nominee l

The Senate wasn't in session.

I reckon you can prove that the House gave the Senate permission to go into recess? I look forward to that.
