Justices Rule Obama's Appointments to NLRB During Senate Break in 2012 Were
Invalid
WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court unanimously ruled Thursday that President
Barack Obama exceeded his authority in appointing three National Labor
Relations Board members during a brief Senate break in 2012, holding that
presidents may only exercise their appointment powers during recesses of 10
or more days.
But in a 5-4 split, the court's liberal bloc and swing vote Justice Anthony
Kennedy declined to all but eliminate the president's power to fill
executive-branch vacancies when the Senate isn't transacting business, as a
lower court had done.
After the ruling, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said, "We're of
course deeply disappointed in today's decision. …We are, however, pleased
that the court recognized the president's executive authority as exercised
by presidents going all the way back to George Washington." He said the
White House was still reviewing the decision, and added, "The president is
in no way considering scaling back" his executive actions.
The decision was a win for employers who contested the validity of labor
board rulings made by the recess appointees. It puts in question hundreds of
decisions the labor board issued during the time the recess appointees were
seated, including a decision that protected workers from being fired for
complaining about working conditions on sites like Facebook, and a decision
that gave unions greater rights in employee-discipline cases.
The board issued a total of 436 decisions in contested cases between Jan. 31
, 2012, and July 16, 2013, an NLRB spokesman said. Two of the recess
appointees—Democrats Richard Griffin and Sharon Block—were on the board
during that 18-month period, while the other—Republican Terence Flynn—
stepped down in the summer of 2012. | T*********I
