Recess appointments ruled unconstitutional but that is not stopping president Barack Obama.

From does re nominating -- members to the nation's labor board that's been -- six days since they've been in the job that's point six days.

Since you've resides in the -- there's salary for job.

They can't do they're not that.

They shouldn't need to.

One reason the workforce fairness -- -- just launch this clock to keep tabs on all of it.

Group spokesman for Abdullah says.

They won't stop until his appointees stepped down you know it's amazing to -- threat is that they they could still be doing what they're doing whatever it is they're doing and we're -- Yes sort of a zombie labor board right now of the members aren't legally entitled -- -- jobs but they keep killing jobs along the way.

The thing to remember is that if -- appointments are thrown -- by the Supreme Court.

Every decision that they've touched in these 400 days in the days to come after what have to be done again.

-- enormous expense these unions and employers spend a fortune in legal bills to get to this point and have to do it twice because these numbers are just belligerent.

Is just unfair to these employers and unions.

Now you're keeping track of that said how long in this count is going on I assume do the whole legal labyrinth of appeals and everything to justify.

These appointments but this could go on.

For how won't.

Odds -- you're appointments.

That -- recess appointments should expire the end of next year so we can't go on all that long.

But nothing moves quickly in the legal world is you know.

But in -- suddenly poured into anger that -- -- having covering everything for them.

Even though in the end it might be ruled a complete sham.

Absolutely and you know if you read the plain language of the constitution this court got it right.

These are these recess appointments weren't valid because the senate wasn't really in recess.

And you're the vacancies that they were -- to didn't arise during a recess it's hard to argue with this DC circuit opinion.

So it the president gives -- a well I'll just keep pushing these same people.

We'll leave them.

Well you know there was a lot of hope on our part that maybe Richard Griffin won't be renominated as you know he was the top lawyer of -- currently the most corrupt union some of their local unions operate like episodes of The Sopranos.

And he didn't seem to play any real role in cleaning up.

But since he's been nominated the first time he's been now named in a it embezzlement and extortion lawsuit.

And they claimed that he covered up the embezzlement of union funds -- there used to be the standard that you couldn't have the appearance of impropriety.

That kind of looks like his appearance of impropriety give me we hope that the president weren't.

What's -- -- renominated but he did.

-- all right thanks keeping us positive -- -- just even my clock running I think people should know that Fred thank you start much.
