Obama "Deeply Disappointed" By Supreme Court Decision To Limit His Power
"Today's SCOTUS decision is encouraging for all who believe in the checks and balances enshrined in our nation's constitution," is Darrell Issa's message following the Supreme Court's unanimous (9-0) decision cutting back the power of the White House to temporarily fill senior government posts when facing partisan opposition in Congress. The White House spokesman said President Obama was "deeply disappointed" and is 'reviewing' the decision. Simply put, President Obama used the recess appointment power to make an end run around a Senate that refused to confirm controversial nominees - thanks to this unanimous SCOTUS decision, that use of the power is all but dead.
The US Supreme Court today limited a president's power to make recess appointments when the White House and the Senate are controlled by opposite parties, scaling back a presidential authority as old as the republic.
The case arose from a political dispute between President Obama and Senate Republicans, who claimed he had no authority to put three people on the National Labor Relations Board in January 2012 when the Senate was out of town.
He used a president's power, granted by the Constitution, to "fill up all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the Senate." But the Republicans said the Senate was not in recess at the time the appointments were made, because every three days a senator went into the chamber, gaveled it to order, and then immediately called a recess.
Both sides have had their comments (via Reuters),
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat from Nevada, said the ruling “underscores the importance” of the Senate rule change last year.
“Without that reform and with today’s ruling, a small but vocal minority would have more power than ever to block qualified nominees from getting a simple up-or-down vote,” he said.
Kentucky Republican Mitch McConnell, the Senate minority leader, said: "All Americans should be grateful for the court's rebuke of the administration." Republican senators had filed court papers urging the court to rule against the administration.
SCOTUS explains...
Breyer wrote that the recess appointment power is only triggered once the Senate has been in recess for 10 days. He rejected the Obama administration's argument that the appointment power needed to be expansive to overcome political differences between branches of government that prevent nominees from being confirmed.
The recess appointments clause "is not designed to overcome serious institutional friction," he wrote. The majority was hesitant to issue a broader ruling because it would have brought into question hundreds of appointments made over the years, Breyer added.
Reading from the bench, Scalia was insistent that the court should have gone further, saying that presidents have over the years treated the need to have nominees confirmed by the Senate as an "unreasonable burden."
Scalia would have favored ruling that the president could only make recess appointments in formal recesses between Senate sessions when the vacancies in question arose during that recess.
In Thursday's ruling, the majority "sweeps away the most important limitations the Constitution places on the president's recess appointment power," Scalia said.
But we leave it to Darrell Issa to sum it up...
Today's SCOTUS decision is encouraging for all who believe in the checks and balances enshrined in our nation's constitution.

This unanimous decision makes it clear that President Obama acted without any legitimate authority.

well, if you "watch teevee" for any amount of time, what the hell do you expect to see beyond cultural programming?? inherent in the media/medium! teevee IS the mind-control, has been since forever, and merely grows in effectiveness
until folks unplug and reclaim their minds.
then they can either choose to OPEN those minds to a wider reality, which comes in tremendous variety, not tiny little separate boxes
or they can continue through life with Self-Imposed Blinders - either way, it's a choice.
human bodies are NOT exclusively binary-sexed, even though currently "sexual assignment" is hella profit-able, both for the med-profession-alls, and the cultural me-duh that "reports" all the news that USED to be less exploited, more within the circles humans kept to themSelves.
the whole "two gender" thing supports a massive BACKSTORY including FatherGod religions, nationstate farm-breeding-stock, military-heroicks, et al.
the sooner folks grow up and learn to mind their own body-business, the better.
it won't happen as a "cultural group" though - like everything, it's one at a time that humans come to awareness, it's NEVER groupthink.
Hmm...
Reminds me of this
". . .and they all look just the same."
love that song, always have.
folks breaking out of their post WW2 programming can live with more freedom than the culture allows for, that's been proven. all around the edges of every culture live the most interesting of others.
the ticky-tacky gets a lot of me-duh exposure, but it has never been anything other than a mass-delusion, mind-implant by those who claim to Rule.
as always, the best prep is the mind.
Cutting your dick and balls off isn't crazy??
If that's not crazy, what would be crazy??
If they are equipped with a penis on the outside, fix the hormones instead of chopping off the equipment.
Yeah, and letting someone cut open your chest would be pretty crazy too, wouldn't it?
Unless it was triple-bypass surgery.
And no, you DON'T fix the hormones instead of chopping off the equipment, unless the particular medical condition called for that. You don't 'fix' the parts that ARE working properly so they match the parts that don't. This has nothing to DO with your personal heebie-jeebies, it is about correcting a medical condition.
Wow, 4 downvotes...
I guess medical science isn't your thing. You must throw downvotes, like holy water, at that white-man devil-magic!

don't expect some to surrender what they believe are

they don't really desire.
He should be happy, since this is the way our governemnt should work!
Impeach Obama and prosecute him and Hillary for supplying Al-Queda.
Goddammit, says Barry, the next thing you know they'll be tellin' me I can't kill with impunity!
i love how Breyer just pulls the "10 days" rule out of his ass. the lower court decision, which only allowed for appointments during the singular recess period as defined in the constitution, and only allowed it for vacancies that actually occurred during that period, was the proper reading.
I predict president man child will now put his scortched earth policy into overdrive.
President man child is going to bluster and stamp his feet. Scorched earth that threatens others' positions of power might actually bring about consequences.
Don't worry, there a 5 Jesuit trained boys sitting on the bench.
They will protect and defend the U.S. Constitution, right?
And if the Pope says fuck it, well, I guess we're all fucked.

His power to appoint czars remains unaffected.
Drone Operator: But your excellency, that looks like the supreme court building
Obama: Yesssssssssssss(reptilan like)
FUCK THE SUPREME COURT. THEY SHOULD HAVE RULED MORE NAKEDLY IN FAVOR OF CORRUPTION SO THE WORLD CAN SEE WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY DO.
PRETENDING THEY AREN'T FULLY CORRUPT BY GIVING A FEW 'RESTRAINING' DECISIONS AWAY , I'M NOT ONLY NOT BUYING IT, I'M CALLING 'FUCK THIS SHIT' ON THIS.
Welcome to the North American Union!

I never thought it would happen, but NAFTA was the beginning of the end.
This faggot is only a lawn jockey for a bigger agenda.
The FF tried something new, and it lasted for about 100 years.
But freedom is like a jealous woman.
If you don't pay attention to her, she's going to leave you.
The Republic hss been restored, the traitors hung, and the future is bright! /sarc
Congress is just pissed they didn't get to shakedown the nominees for favors before they folded like a lawn chair and confirmed.....
When learning of this little Barack threw a tantrum, crying, stomping his feet, and breaking his toys for 3 hours, calling for his mummy to punish the meanies!
Doesn't change much other than to bring forth an opportunity.
That opportunity is this. GO SUCK ON IT BARRY!!!
If you want to know who's in charge ask this guy that replaced a bunch of "30 +'ers" and has ideas... for bringing in more dual citizens or American trainees like this guy who are already on board?...
To his credit President Remus did what may represent one day his gutsiest move while in office with this announcement after this revelation came out!
Those "J's" are truly amazing. Always getting the host to do all the dirty work while the "parasite" sits back and watches!
Let's hope we stop the Samson option before it becomes a reality for our sakes and the slimeball Yids in Tel Aviv!!!
Hussein Obama, domestic enemy of the Republic, has no legal authority EVERY DAY, since he is not an eligible natural born Citizen of the United States due to birth as a BRITISH SUBJECT through his British subject father.
He is an illegal CIC and an illegal POTUS due to dual allegiance at birth. The natural born Citizen clause was meant SPECIFICALLY to guard against foreign influence. So how is it possible that one born with dual allegiances is a natural born Citizen, eligible to be POTUS?
"Nothing was more to be desired than that every practicable obstacle should be opposed to cabal, intrigue, and corruption. These most deadly adversaries of republican government might naturally have been expected to make their approaches from more than one querter, but chiefly from the desire in foreign powers to gain an improper ascendant in our councils. How could they better gratify this, than by raising a creature of their own to the chief magistracy of the Union?" Federalist 68
Barack Obama Sr. was an "improper ascendant" (improper ancestor) who imbued Obama2 with improper foreign influence. Hussein Obama even told you so in his book "Dreams from My Father." He certainly cannot be consided a "creature of our own" (natural born Citizen).
Think it doesn't matter? Then why did we have the choice of 2 INELIGIBLE candidates in 2008? (McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone, and Obama was born of a foreign father). It was done on purpose to void US Citizen sovereignty. ALL of Congress committed treason by allowing him in the Oval Office, and now protect that treason (wonder why so many have "retired"? Wonder why they tried to change the penalty for treason?).
Now the Rs are protecting him by projecting Rubio and Cruz and Jindal as POTUS and VP candidates, even though none of them are eligible natural born Citizens. All of them were born of foreign parents, and Cruz was even born in Canada. Think it doesn't matter.? The CRIMINAL NWO KNOWS IT MATTERS.
"The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.". Minor v. Happersett, 88 US 162, 167
The "Common Law" cited by Minor v. Happersett is law of nations, which defines natural born Citizen exactly as "Minor" did, and which is part of the Constitution of the US (See A1S8C10).
The President can be "REMOVED" (25th Amendment, and 3 US Code 19) due to "INABILITY" (i.e "Constitutional Disability"--- See A2S1C6, and the 12th Amendment), "ANYTIME" a court of law (a body established by Congress) makes that declaration of "Inability" known to the VP (See 25th Amendment Sect. 4).
Soon you may hear about a SCOTUS case with standing, that has been filed and served, asking the SCOTUS to mandate the Florida Circuit to issue an opinion about the eligibility of Barack Obama. The Florida Court illegally ran away from making that determination initially, in a properly filed "contest of election" according to Fl. SS. 102.168(1)(3)(b), which allows any voter to challenge the eligibility of "any person nominated or elected to office".
meh, The court is taking the opportunity to look out for itself. That's why the 9-0.
We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.
- Ben Franklin
The 9-0 vote displays more fear than strength.
Pussies all!
he's going to get the gestapo to gun em down for obstructing his Nazi occupation.
So does this ruling mean anything? Did the court ruling immediately expel the appointees (no, they're already gone) or void their previous actions (as I quickly read it, yes it does!)? Does the president have to do 200 hours of community service?
jsut sent a much needed message to the psychophants and corporatist psychopaths and a few other control freaks .
Obama also bad at playing chess at home.
Now he knows how we feel about his presidency.
No reason to get excited, the thief he kindly spoke. There are many here among us who feel that life is but joke !
But you and I we've been thru that and this is not our phase, so let us stop talking falsely now , the hour is getting late, Hey !
and it's a good thing . there actually is a better way and it cost nothing except opening up the package and simply enjoying it !
By the way , Jimi would spit in Obamas face in public most likely.
So, the recess appointments are null and void, as well as their decisions?
If they show up for work on Monday morning, Justice Roberts is going to tell them to go home?
How does that work?
What happens if they continue working?
a flashbcak trigger , open at your own risk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xwnmmz1S37o
first time I heard this was in RVN 1968. I thought I would surely die that very day , but didn't ! amazingly I am healthier, stronger and more fit than I was then and yes I am way past thankful and enjoy it everyday. Anybody can do the same and heal themselves.
Early in Obamas first campaign and presidential term he was referred to as brilliant, smart, and 'clean' well dressed. Now after many years, Obama is looking dumber and dumber. Putin, the middle east, fast and furrious, Bengazi, IRS, Assad, ect. Obama offends our friends, makes our enemies laugh at us, and is in no way smart or brilliant, unless a house cat is a reference point for intellect.
If you look at recess appointments by prez, I thnk George B 2 had the most.
Great. What about the 100's of other illegal acts he's committed? What a sham.
