Perhaps you should actually read the decision before you start wringing your hands regarding any failure to uphold the Constitution. Specifically where the court stated that “Recent presidents are doing no more than interpreting the Constitution. While we recognize that all branches of government must of necessity exercise their understanding of the Constitution in order to perform their duties faithfully thereto, ultimately it is our role to discern the authoritative meaning of the supreme law.”
Those two sentences take the President completely off the hook for any claim that he failed to uphold the Constitution.
Nice try but as we can see by this, "appeared to break new ground by acting at a time when the Senate was meeting every third day, specifically to deny him the chance to make appointments," the President was trying to conduct the work of the people while the Senate was doing everything within their power to make sure they didn't earn their paycheck for the week. The ones you all should be mad at is the Senate.
I am not a pyscho righty, as some are. 9 times out of 10 I would just blow this off. Who cares who he appointed? Right?
What pisses me off is when you dig deeper.
He appointed illegally the head of the NLRB. Well how does this affect me personally.
The NLRB filed a suit to try and shut my place of work down. Yes, an American company in The United States, creating jobs here(thousands of them), and Obama and his legacy is trying to shut it down. Why may you ask? I mean why would this happen? BIG UNIONS! and there money. I mean come on! He has to get his money and his votes, for reelection. So my tax dollars were actually going towards corruption by my president, to shut my own job down.
The sickening part is, it was known it was not going to go through but the union used the NLRB as a puppet to file the suit to help pressure the company in contract negotiations. (there were already longterm plans to expand production in my non-union facility, but the NLRB suit was filed, to push contracts to stop expansion and job creation in a non-union site)
Its funny as a result of the lawsuit, my company is required to post information up about unions in our workplace. Which got defaced and thrown out numerous times by employees that are pretty upset at the IAW. That our company had to sandwhich it in 2 pieces of 1/4 acrylic and anchor it to the wall.
At first it just pissed me off, but now its actually has me pretty furious, that this is a full violation of the constitution.

I am shocked.
A court actually applied constitutionally based law to limit the powers of the Executive Office!!???
I'm not just shocked, but very pleasantly surprised.
More evidence of a coming backlash against politicians who have played fast and loose with the peoples money and their trust.
When you swear an oath to uphold the Constitution and then blatantly abuse the powers granted to you by it. THAT planet.
Barack was specifically told that what he was doing was illegal but decided to roll the dice in the courts. He lost! Time to step down for the good of the country.
Barack is dangerous for the republic. He needs to be removed.
and how many times did Bush circumvent the Constitution to declare war on three nations?
