Dear Conservatives,
Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court grilled Barack Obama's top lawyer over the President's purported "recess" appointments to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
Top legal experts from across the political spectrum agreed that the Court, including some of its most left-wing justices, appeared highly skeptical of the arguments made by Obama's lawyer during oral argument.
Of course, no one can predict exactly how the Supreme Court will rule, but I believe the arguments against Obama's power grab are powerful.
As you may remember, last year, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia relied on arguments made by National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys when it ruled the "recess" appointments were unconstitutional.
Foundation staff attorneys filed an amicus brief with the High Court for Jeanette Geary, a Rhode Island nurse, to ensure that the Court hears from the independent-minded workers victimized by the rogue Obama NLRB.
You see, in her case, the Obama Labor Board blatantly IGNORED the Supreme Court's Foundation-won 1988 Beck decision, which states that union bosses cannot force workers in non-Right to Work states to pay for union lobbying or political activities.
But the stakes are even higher than just the enforcement of these protections for independent-minded workers.
The separation of powers that serve as the bedrock of our constitutional republic are in jeopardy.
Article II of the Constitution requires the President to obtain the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate for appointments to most critical positions in the executive branch.
When Congress is "recessed" -- not in session -- the President may fill vacancies to ensure the continued functioning of government, but Congress was still in session when Obama made his appointments.
Regardless of how the Supreme Court rules, you can be certain this won't be the last time President Obama uses the federal bureaucracy to expand union-boss power over American workers and job providers alike.
Thank you for your continued support so your Foundation can be ready to fight back against whatever Big Labor power grabs Obama tries next.
Sincerely,
Mark Mix
