Re: Democrat NLRB ‘recess’ appointments rushed, don’t appear on White House nominee l
Below is the basis of the claim, with a link. At that link you wil also find more of the argument as to how Obama violated the Constitution.
It is not an issue of what you thought then, vs. what you think now. It is about Obama and Reid. Their hypocrisy, and those who now support it. You and I vote, but we do not make the rules, much less the law.
Obama's Solicitor General argued this? I missed that.

And to top this off, Obama’s own Deputy Solicitor General argued in the Supreme Court in 2010 that Obama could not make a recess appointment unless the recess were longer than three days (via Washington Examiner):
CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: And the recess appointment power doesn’t work why?
MR. KATYAL: The — the recess appointment power can work in — in a recess. I think our office has opined the recess has to be longer than 3 days. And — and so, it is potentially available to avert the future crisis that — that could — that could take place with respect to the board. If there are no other questions –
CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: Thank you, counsel.

No it's not. I could believe that Obama had the power to do this before, even if he didn't take advantage of it.
