The Supreme Court delivered a blow Thursday to President Obama, ruling that he went too far in making recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board.

In a unanimous decision, the high court sided with Senate Republicans and limited the president's power to fill high-level vacancies with temporary appointments. It was the first-ever Supreme Court test involving the long-standing practice of presidents naming appointees when the Senate is on break.

In this case, Obama had argued that the Senate was on an extended holiday break when he filled slots at the NLRB in 2012. He argued the brief sessions it held every three days were a sham that was intended to prevent him from filling the seats.

The justices rejected that argument, though, declaring the Senate was not actually in a formal recess when Obama acted during that three-day window.

Justice Stephen Breyer said in his majority opinion that a congressional break has to last at least 10 days to be considered a recess under the Constitution.

"Three days is too short a time to bring a recess within the scope of the Clause. Thus we conclude that the President lacked the power to make the recess appointments here at issue," Breyer wrote.

I am looking at the window to see if I can find any flying pigs......I am amazed it was unanimous.

So will Obama just ignore them like he does Congress and simply go around the Court--Will he fire them appointments or just leave them there and dare somebody to do something about it--we will see--I have my doubts he will comply

No, I can't seem him complying either. He could care less about the Constitution or what the courts say or the rule of law. He'll just make his own laws and dare anybody to do anything about it.

And they won't, they'll just file another useless lawsuit which will go nowhere.

I must most heartily disagree with the both of you on this. Obama won't dare ignore this ruling so long as Eric Holder is our AG.
