So after Senate Republicans have consistently taken the unprecedented step of keeping the Senate technically in session to circumvent the law and stop President Obama from appointing badly needed agency heads for such federal agencies as the National Labor Relations Board and the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, President Obama finally said enough is enough and appointed them anyway. (The CFPB head has been appointed, the Labor Relations board members will follow.)
The Republicans are, of course, whining like babies.
But recess appointments are nothing new and are Constitutionally allowed. In fact, President Obama has used the power far less than his predecessors (probably due to Republican obstructionism).
So suck it Republicans. You don't like it? Stop obstructing the country's business.
Wankers.
