Democrat NLRB 'Recess" Appointments Rushed. Don't Appear on White House Nomineee List

The two Democrats that President Barack Obama appointed to the National Labor Relations Board during what he considered a congressional “recess” are not on the White House’s official list of Obama’s appointments and nominations for various positions.
Obama referred his two Democratic nominees, Sharon Block and Richard Griffin, to the Senate on Dec. 15. The Senate adjourned for the year – but did not go into an official recess — on the following day.
WhiteHouse.gov tracks the status of all of Obama’s appointments and nominations. Block and Griffin do not appear on that list — a sign that the administration rushed the recess appointments through too quickly for the Senate to even consider them.

Who needs "advise and consent" anyway. Just be the dictator, and appoint whomever you want. :roll:

It just keeps getting better.

Wyoming Republican Sen. Mike Enzi’s office has pointed out that Block and Griffin were referred to the Senate so quickly that they didn’t pass basic criminal and civil background checks. A statement from Enzi, the ranking member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, said that the background checks ensure that no criminal investigations are pending against potential nominees, and that they have paid their income taxes. The checks also ensure nominees don’t have conflicts of interest.

The other one seems to have largely turned into a thread concerning CFPB, so I think this is appropriate.

What's the matter? Don't want to talk about this one?

The GOP has put Congress into virtual permanent session for all 2011, to prevent Obama from making any Recess appointments.

when you play that game, don't cry when someone plays a better hand.

Plays a better hand ? LOL ..... when you play as this in a real poker game in the Wild Wild West, you get shot for cheating.

The GOP followed the rules. Liberals whine because they disagree with the motive. But they followed the rules.

Here, Obama does not follow the rules. To Hell with oversight. To hell with checking these folks out. And to hell with the same process he endorsed as a Senator. The jackass just put two folks on the NLRB via his own whim. Completely bypassed the Senate. Completely ignored the Constitution.

And the libs cheer. :roll:

where does it say filibustering ALL nominations can be used to prevent an entire federal agency from functioning?

Where are the rules for what can, and cannot, be filibustered ?

do you think its appropriate to filibuster EVERY single nominee to lead a federal agency, so as to prevent the agency from functioning?

you really think 41 Senators should have the power to prevent an entire agency of the Federal government, from functioning?????

that's no democracy, that's a dictatorship by the minority.

The Libbos didn't seem to mind when the Democrats did it.

I think the whole idea of Congress wasting it's time (months sometimes) holding hearings about filling some position is a waste of their time and our money. Does the Constitution cover these hearings? Probably just "guy rules" to make the game more fun. What CEO doesn't have the power to hire and fire? The axe falls on him if it's a mistake...remember Brownie?
 
Re: Democrat NLRB ‘recess’ appointments rushed, don’t appear on White House nominee l

yeah???

cite the law he broke.



:lamo


It's called the Constitution of the United States...Try reading it some time instead of always trying to change it.

The Constitution of the United States.....is a law?

no, my friend....it is a large document of laws & rules.

now, kindly point out WHICH law Obama broke.

;)

when did the Democrats use the filibuster to prevent an entire agency from functioning?

It is the law of the land. And I have posted it several times. I will not continue to re-post the same ****, I have already posted just so you can ignore it. Now either pull from what I have already offered to you, or just admit that you have no clue as to what you are talking about.

Maggie, I usually enjoy your posts, as they are often informed, and have wit, etc. But here you screwed up. A CEO, if they fail, face not only a Board of Directors, and Shareholders, but most importantly, profits via customers voting with their dollars. Bad companies go out of business. Survival of the fittest, aka Capitalism, is supposed to take care of that for us, at least when gubmit doesn't muck it up.

But bad government ? Guess who gets screwed ;) BOHICA ...... and you cannot just take your business somewhere else. The phrase "absolute power corrupts absolutely" is primarily based in teh shenanigans of too much political power. We should be grateful for the checks and balances, the hearings, the pontificating in front of a camera. Without it, there isn't enough vaseline for either of us to survive.

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.

Please provide for us where in the constitution, or senate rules it says that a nomination of someone to head an agency can not be filibustered. However this thread is about the NLRB hacks that Obama never even put up...He just installed them like a dictator.

ah yes, moving the goalposts. of course you can filibuster one..or two..three agency head nominees. but to threaten to filibuster ANY and ALL nominees because you want to the agency to not function???????????????? that's an abuse of the filibuster rule.

So it was abuse when demo's did it to Bush?

What the hell are you talking about? These NLRB hacks were never even background checked because there wasn't time...Obama just installed them.

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