The Demoicrats and the left support Obama as he violates the Constitution and the law

[Katzndogz]

obama is going to ignore the Senate, Congress and Constitution. He is revealing himself as the dictator. No wonder his fat ass wife wants to be called your excellency.

Will our Supreme Court be as honest as the one in Honduras and order his arrest?

 

[Uncensored2008]

...and who runs the Senate?

You are so blinded by your rabid partisanship that you are ignoring the facts.

This is 230 YEARS of precedent. No one "runs" the Congress for 230 years. Early on it was Jefferson's Republicans and the Federalists, then when Jackson created the Democrats they entered the fray, then the Whigs, then Lincoln's Republicans. ALL of them with a precedent, until it was inconvenient to the petty dictator in Washington.

You can't filibuster a non-action, so who's really responsible? Those who refuse to do their job, IMO. Got to start calling their bluff on filibusters, now. Who's going to care what a bunch of shirkers think, anyway? Is "up or down" vote only for the other guy, since we're digging up history?

Obama violated the law. You support his violation because you hold your party in higher esteem than the law.

Obama made an illegal appointment. Recess appointments may only be made while Congress is in RECESS. It never recessed. He violated the law and the left on this board is applauding and cheering.

And the left wonders why the right finds them to be ignorant and hypocrites.

Once again for the slow and stupid, Congress never recessed. If Congress does not recess a President must get approval for his nominees from the Senate.

Lawyers on this board that are democrats or liberals are applauding his decision to BREAK the law and violate the Constitution.

Once again for Modbert, this is not about whether he can appoint in a recess, he can. This is about a flagrant violation of the law and the Constitution. Congress never recessed.

There have been many moments where Obama and them Dems have been Extreme Hippocrates but this one takes the cake.

Back when Bush Wanted to Appoint Bolton Obama him self said he should not do it with a Recess appointment. Saying it took all Credibility away from the appointment and bypassed the people, and Bush waited until the Senate was Actually on a recess before he did it.

Back in 2007 Harry Reid Proudly kept the Senate in the exact same kind of Pro Forma Session the Republicans have, In his own words, to block Bush making a recess appointment. Now he says he supports the President Violating the Constitution and making a recess appointment when they are legally no on recess.

Just when I thought Obama could not top himself he does. The is the single most blatant act of Abuse of Executive power I have ever seen. Obama clearly has decided the Rules do not apply to him.

And needs to be called upon it...with force.

Either the Constitution means something, or it doesn't.

Clearly to many on here defending the action? It doesn't.

It's a dangerous precident when the people don't care about the law of the land.

Honest courts in Honduras?????

Sheesh.
Talk about blind partisanship.

Bush started illegally tapping your phone calls violating the illegal search and seizure (the 4th amendment if you all remember that). I know it doesn't matter now but wow...were you all so upset then?

 

[Truthseeker420]

It does not matter if the House recessed. The Senate did, and that is what is in the Constitution.


"The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session."

THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION - We the People

Bush did the same thing Obama just did and he was challenged in 2004.

Evans vs. Stephens:

The Constitution, on its face, does not establish a minimum time that an
authorized break in the Senate must last to give legal force to the President’s
appointment power under the Recess Appointments Clause. And we do not set the
limit today. Although a President has not before appointed a judge to an Article
III court during an intrasession recess as short as the one in this case,
appointments to other offices -- offices ordinarily requiring Senate confirmation --
have been made during intrasession recesses of about this length or shorter.8
Furthermore, several times in the past, fairly short intrasession recesses have given
rise to presidential appointments of judges to Article III courts.9
Twelve Presidents have made more than 285 intrasession recess
appointments of persons to offices that ordinarily require consent of the Senate.
So, given the words of the Constitution and the history, we are unpersuaded by the
argument that the recess appointment power may only be used in an intersession recess, but not an intrasession recess. Furthermore, what we understand to be the
main purpose of the Recess Appointments Clause -- to enable the President to fill
vacancies to assure the proper functioning of our government -- supports reading
both intrasession recesses and intersession recesses as within the correct scope of
the Clause.

Obama's appointment was entirely constitutional.

Class dismissed!

Thank you. Republicans should read the Constitution again.

Uh-huh...and he had the blessing of whom? The Congress...

Not to be outdone?

Obama signs NDAA



And that is just fine with you?

No he didn't, you are either ignorant or dishonest. I suspect you are merely partisan and don't care at all about facts.

Bush used a loophole to intercept cellular traffic on the basis that it passes over the public airwaves and is not protected by wire laws. The courts ultimately disagreed, but your portrayal is the typical dishonesty of the hate sites that do your thinking for you.

I know it doesn't matter now but wow...were you all so upset then?

You threw a fit over at AWE about the Hamdi case and the claim that "Bush suspended habeas corpus," (absurd demagoguery, on your part.) I agreed that holding Hamdi without trial was unconstitutional, if you recall.

Now Obama has openly murdered a US Citizen, not trial, obviously no habeas corpus, yet I've seen not a peep from you condemning the act.

Partisanship trumps all, I suppose....

As I thought. Bush NEVER made an appointment while Congress was IN SESSION. In 2007 Reid did exactly what the Republicans did this year and Bush did NOT appoint anyone.

It is an illegal appointment. Without precedent.

Of course not - it would be ILLEGAL to do so.

The Senate had adjourned for 3 days.

The Constitution does not distinguish between intersession and intrasession recesses

Bullshit! It was in recession and there have been so many appointments this way by democrat and republican presidents.
Does it take your stupid hatred to try to prove a point.
Again, BULLSHIT!

Cite for us the appointments made THIS way? Explain why in 2007 the democrats did the EXACT same thing with the Senate and no appointments were made.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Bullshit! It was in recession

Of course it's in recession, Obama is in office.

What it wasn't though, is in recess.

and there have been so many appointments this way by democrat and republican presidents.

There have been zero.

Lying for your god doesn't alter reality.

Does it take your stupid hatred to try to prove a point.
Again, BULLSHIT!

Obama violated the law - you don't care because you hold party above the law and above the nation.

 

[OohPooPahDoo]

Of course it's in recession, Obama is in office.

What's the excuse prior to Obama?

 

[bravoactual]

What's the excuse prior to Obama?

Haven't you heard, the Eleven Trillion Dollar ($11,000,000,000,000.00) National Debt occured overnight. The day before Mr. Obama took office, it was not there, and then as if by magic it appeared the next day.

 

[Conservative]

If the Senate was in recess, why is only ONE Democratic senator saying so? Even Harry Reid refuses to say if the Senate was in or out of session when the appointments were made.

If the Senate is not recessed and they give a damn that Obama made an appointment without their consent, why haven't they passed a single measure saying so?

Because Senate Repubs know that if they push the issue they're likely gonna have to answer for their own part in this.
