Right to work group sues Obama over recess appointments

Daily Caller:
A right-to-work organization is taking the White House to court over the president’s controversial decision to install three new members on the National Board Relations board without Senate approval.
The legal challenge came after the three new members approved a legal response in an existing lawsuit. The plaintiffs asked the judge on Friday to rule that their participation is invalid because President Barack Obama did not have the authority to appoint them.
“We asked [the judge] to consider the question of whether they are constitutionally seated,” said Mark Mix, president of the National Right to Work Foundation.
Without legitimate appointments, they can’t participate in the lawsuit, Mix told The Daily Caller. And without their participation the board does (not) have the quorum needed to implement the new regulations that the foundation opposes.
...
There will probably be other suits challenging these appointments.  The Justice Department will probably have to scramble to come up with some justification for Obama's actions.  I suspect there will also be challenges to actions taken by the Consumer Protection Agency which had a similar appointment of its chairman.

"No Trillion Dollar Spending Spree" is the message from this conservative caucus. Led by its new chairman, Rep. Tom Price of Georgia, the RSC now counts more than 100 House Republicans among its members.

What the plan does offer are multibillion-dollar gifts to state governments, teachers unions, and the environmental lobby, with such gems as a $6 billion program to "weatherize modest-income homes." In contrast, Mr. Price and company have drawn up their own plan, the "Economic Recovery and Middle...

Obamagate, The Movie

WND: The Irish-born filmmaking couple Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinny are known for their film  "Gosnell,"  which exposed the seamy underside of the abortion industry by turning transcripts and evidence from the trial of the Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell into a cinematic drama. Now, in yet another effort to counter a conventional narrative with first-hand evidence, they're about to release  "Obamagate: The Movie,"  showing how the Obama administration tried to take down Donald Trump.They turned gripping testimony from the 2014 Michael Brown case into a play, called  "Ferguson."   And lately they did the same with the infamous texts of FBI agent Peter Strzok and bureau lawyer Lisa Page in  "FBI Lovebirds: Undercovers,"  starring Dean Cain and Kristy Swanson. "We would be unemployed if the media did its job," McAleer told WND in an interview. "They're not reporting spin anymore," he said of the establ...
