Hepting v. AT&T -- The Supreme Court wouldn't take the case.Fair enough.Oh? What case was this Supreme Court rebuke of Obama's recess appointments?
So you're saying it hasn't been heard by the supreme court, you do know that the court has no authority to intervene without a case before them, right?

NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD v. NOEL CANNING ET AL.

Supreme Court Limits President's Recess Appointment Power
Regarding Bush's wiretapping: Hepting v. AT&T
Regarding trying detainees:
Hamdan v. Rumsfeld
Hepting was dismissed by the Ninth Circut and the appeal wasn't taken up by the supreme court.
The other placed limits on a presidents war powers on US soil, and I can't say I disagree with them.
Hamdan v. Rumsfeld -- Scalia and Thomas dissented.
So much for those "Constitutional type judges like Thomas and Scalia tend to drop the hammer on presidents who stray outside their constitutional limits."
