"Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell came out firing today:"
“The president’s decision to circumvent the American people by installing his appointees at a powerful federal agency, when the Senate was not in recess, and without obtaining the advice and consent of the Senate, is an unprecedented power grab. We will demonstrate to the court how the president’s unconstitutional actions fundamentally endanger the Congress’s role in providing a check on the excesses of the executive branch.”

Republicans Sue Obama Over Recess Appointments

About time! Wondered when these guys were going to grow some hair on their chest!

Time to Tango!

It is odd that a Constitutional scholar didn't know very much about the Constitution... maybe he meant he was a "semi"-Constitutional scholar...

Obama is a socialist and I think his only knowledge concerning the Constitution was how to break it.

Obama is to Constitutional law as Elton John is to being straight.

A lawsuit? Snort!

If they really thought they had a case, they'd offer up impeachment charges.

More fodder for the witless.

Nah. Sometimes the prosecution foregoes the heavier charge in favor of a nice, speedy, quick, easy conviction - say, by November?

No one is saying they are against the law.

The Senate was not in recess when Obama made the appointments.
