I haven't read the decision Lilo, but the history of Article IV does lend itself somewhat to understanding the court's decision. I believe it was the Committee on Postponed Parts that composed the recess appointments provision of the Constitution. It was intended to allow the President the latitude to keep the federal government up and running when the Congress was not in session. That makes sense. Of course, it has evolved into a political maneuver which the Founding Fathers did not antiicpate that it would. Thus, I support the court's decision even if not the way it expressed it. The President should have waited. You think this winds up in the Supreme Court eventually? Next year maybe?
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming
Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
