Not done yet: Obama to make 3 so-called recess appointments to radical NLRB

President Obama isn't done yet with his so-called recess appointments. Although the US Senate is in a pro forma session, former constitutional law teacher President Obama will name Sharon Block, Terence Flynn and Richard Griffin to the radicalized National Labor Relations Board. That move will delight the president's Big Labor cronies who hope to further their agenda with a compliant NLRB.

Unlike his earlier recess appointment today, the NLRB appointments did not face a Senate vote.

UPDATE 3:15pm CST:

The Workforce Fairness Institute issued a statement about Obama's latest example of overreach

"President Obama's recess appointments of Richard Griffin and Sharon Block to the National Labor Relations Board are an incredible giveaway to Big Labor. This White House has demonstrated beyond question that it places greater importance on paying back union bosses than creating jobs and turning around the economy," said Fred Wszolek, spokesperson for the Workforce Fairness Institute (WFI). "What is particularly galling is that the nominations of Griffin and Block are just days old, and in spite of that, Obama has engaged in a power grab that is constitutionally suspect. Obama's recess appointments of Griffin and Block go against statements made by his own vice president and Department of Justice and are another reminder that this administration takes its direction from labor bosses not American workers and small businesses."
