Back in 2012, President “Knows Nothing” decided on his own that Congress was in Recess and appointed three members to fill opening on the National Labor Relations Board. These three were so blatantly in the tank for the Unions, that they weren’t even brought to the floor of the senate for a vote to confirm them.
Senate Majority Leader, (And all around corrupt, inept thug), Dinghy Harry Reid, had been using parliamentary tricks to keep Obama and Bush before him from making recess appointments. Now Reid wasn’t opposed to the three people waiting for confirmation, but the Republicans were fully prepared to filibuster the nominations to keep them off the board. Obama, being Obama, (Corrupt lying tyrant), couldn’t be bothered with little things like the Constitution’s definition of a senate recess, and as soon as the Senate left for the holidays, started making appointments.
These appointments were of pure leftist radicals, in other words, kindred spirits of the SCoaMF, and once ensconced at the NLRB, promptly began their union masters plan of forced unionization. They did this by forbidding companies from being able to defend themselves against unions, denying potential union members information on the pros and cons of being in a union, (Generally, all con, no pro), and basically fulfilling the Union’s wish list.
Needless to say, the members of the Senate weren’t at all happy about these appointments, (as well as several others), and the Republicans were apoplectic. Last January, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit agreed and unanimously lowered the boom on Obama. The ruling unleashed a torrent of challenges to NLRB rulings made during this period and annoyed Der Fuber.
Today a second court agreed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and ruled 2-1 that the appointments were unconstitutional.
After the first crushing defeat, the NLRB announced they were going to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court. This latest decision will either cause the USSC to take the case, or, since five out of six judges agreed that this was unconstitutional, might just decide that they don’t need to take it up. (In which case, I think the decision stands. I’ll leave it to liars lawyers to confirm/deny this)
The one member of the court to dissent and say “Hey! Obama, he can do whatever he wants, it’s all good to me!” is Judge Joseph Anthony Greenaway, Jr ((Joseph A. Greenaway, Jr.)), who was appointed to the bench, (And confirmed by the Senate I might add) by King Putt. Considering this guy’s background, I’m not surprised at all that he would rule in favor of torching the Constitution.
The National Labor Relations Board is an ancient New Deal bureaucracy that is totally out of touch with the modern economy. Frankly, it should be closed down and any real functions that are actually useful, sent to the states.
Of course the Jurassic Unions won’t allow it. However, they are soon to become extinct. Other then government, unions are dying off. They’ve shown that all they care about is enriching the people at the top. As for the actual union members? You might want to ask all those good union members what they think about their union after it killed Hostess.
Progressivism is slowly doing out. The only problem is, they know it and they plan on taking the rest of us into hell with them. I, for one, am not going.

The real issue has nothing to do with the concept that the “appointments were of pure leftist radicals”, unless of course you simply feel that anyone and everyone not on the right are pure leftist radicals. Even the 2 Obama appointed Republican NRLB seats are expected to be approved by the committee on a party line vote but are also expected to be filibustered by their very own party.
The objective of the GOP is to make the NRLB dysfunctional, something corporations have lobbied and Sens such as Lindsey Graham have openly admitted to.
The argument that the NRLB has outlived it’s usefulness is rather disingenuous, particularly in a day when workers rights are disappearing, the gender pay gap widens, and people like Newt Gingrich actually promoting utilizing more child labor. But it’s not all about workers rights. The NRLB has been an asset for our nation’s employers as well,, protecting them from wildcat strikes and has held Union negotiators accountable to bargain in good faith.
The idea of moving the board to a state level is also flawed for several reasons. I keep hearing these “state level” arguments on OSHA, and the EPA as well. There just comes a time when the Feds are needed to create an across the board balance. And they serve a purpose in protecting both parties.
