Obama's executive action held unconstitutional

[The Dude]

What? There's only 1 member on the board without the 3 ruled unconstitutional. there's supposed to be 5.

yes, they "vowed" even though in effect, they only blocked the three, which were nominated the day before senate went into proforma session and then the president went ahead and made "recess appointments". but whatever continue with your shtick of democrat apologies and vitriol for the gop in all things

they were never blocked. vowing to block them and actually ever blocking them are very different. as evidenced by the fact the senate has confirmed multiple people from obama to the nlrb i don't think it's true

what is true though is that obama acted illegally in doing what he did, unlike the senate repuiblicans who you think might have acted "illegally" in the future (to justify the democratic president's illegal use of power he does not possess). thankfully the court agreed. but it's was blatantly unconstitutional, like if he declared war on another country kind of unconstitutional

something like 43 GOP Senators signed a letter telling Obama they were going to block every appointment.

Were you around at the time this was going on because they were very explicit in the media they were going to block anyone.

But yeah, that had no teeth to it. I'm sure the GOP was just bluffing given their constant lack of obstructionism the last 4 years.

I'd also bet the SCOTUS overturns it, fwiw. So it's only illegal for now.


It's also interesting how many presidents did this illegal thing. Let's retroactively remove everything they ever did in this sphere.
