Additionally, Friday’s decision casts doubt on hundreds of decisions the NLRB has made in the past year, ranging from enforcement of collective-bargaining agreements to rulings on the rights of workers to use social media.



Yeah another win for the average working american

Holding up appointments just to cripple an agency is not goverment working
Congress has a duty to look at Appointments the President suggests. They are not doing this not out of a sense of duty. But to Cripple the goverment.

Do you know what the NLRB does?
The govt works the way they say. It's the rules of the Legislature. I don't care. The System rights itself. And it's the way we say, base on the Constitution since we elect "them" from among "us." It matters not to me what the Labor Relations board is suppose to do. Some good some bad, I imagine. Par for the course. I'm not taking sides.

And I will also point out that the intent in the Adversarial System is to cripple the other side.

LMAO. Oh this does feel sooooo good.

He appointments were illegal.

In a case freighted with major constitutional implications, a federal appeals court on Friday overturned President Obama’s controversial recess appointments from last year, ruling he abused his powers and acted when the Senate was not actually in a recess.
The three-judge panel’s ruling is a major blow to Mr. Obama. The judges ruled that the appointments Mr. Obama made to the National Labor Relations Board are illegal, and the board no longer has a quorum to operate.
But the ruling has even broader constitutional significance, with the judges arguing that the president’s recess appointment powers don’t apply to “intrasession” appointments — those made when Congress has left town for a few days or weeks.
The judges signaled the power only applies after Congress has adjourned sine die, which is a legislative term of art that signals the end to a long work period. In modern times, it means the president could only use his powers when Congress quits business at the end of a year.
It feels so good?

Why is that?

I will never understand this us vs them mentality in this country. People like you *want* to see the President fail. You get off on it. Your own selfish interests are placed before what's best for the country, but you consider yourself a "patriot" .... flying your flag proudly on your front porch.

Nah, it was just to rub in on ChesusRice. I remember him and UB doing it to me and a few others that don't tow their line.

Those were legal apparently....we will see. Much of the bureaucracy is headless right now. It's the lack of appoints that seems more interesting.

So, let me get this straight. You supported George W Bush in his presidency, right?

Nice statement but you and your libtard friends are chasing gun laws that are in the hundredths of a percent in actual killings. Liberal priorities are always fucked up and why no one takes you guys seriously. The backlash comes from anything you are capable of trying to do gets fuck up in the extreme and someone has to clean up the mess.

Mark G. Pearce, the N.L.R.B.’s chairman, said the board “respectfully disagrees with today’s decision and believes that the president’s position in the matter will ultimately be upheld.” He noted that similar questions about the recess appointments had been raised in more than a dozen cases pending in other courts of appeals. Among the decisions that could be vacated are three recent rulings in which the board has assumed a powerful role in telling companies that they cannot issue blanket prohibitions on what their employees can say on Facebook, Twitter and other social media.

Awesome
Winter woman is all for Corporate facism

Instead, they held pro forma sessions, meaning a member came into the nearly empty chamber every third day and banged the gavel. The idea was that the novel tactic would legally break up the long recess into a series of short ones believed to be too brief for recess appointments.

Under Mr. Obama, Republicans turned the tables by using the power of the House to block the Senate from adjourning for more than three days. But last January, Mr. Obama decided to challenge the new tactic by declaring the pro forma sessions a sham and appointing the three labor board members, along with Mr. Cordray.

Obama appointed even though the Senate was in 'pro forma' session. That is why it is illegal. Don't you read?
So you are ok with corporate facism and Pro forma congressional sessions where a senator bangs a gavel to an empty chamber?

I see It's ok to be dishonest if you are a republican
