The Supreme Court will allow Senate Republicans to participate in
oral arguments in the National Labor Relations Board recess appointment
case, a maneuver that several legal experts suggested could tilt the
scales against the Obama administration.
When the Supreme Court convenes to hear oral arguments in NLRB v. Noel Canning,
a coalition of 45 Senate Republicans will have 15 minutes to make their
case. The court’s willingness to grant them the time came as no
surprise to several veteran labor attorneys who spoke with the Washington Free Beacon.
“The case is already elevated as the greatest separation of powers
case in 100 years, but hearing from actual senators adds to the clash
between the Senate and the ‘Constitutional Law Professor’-in-chief
regarding who gets to define whether a Senate session is valid,” said
Glenn Taubman, a lawyer with the National Right to Work Legal Defense
Foundation.
The case arose in January 2012 when President Barack Obama used his
recess power to appoint three lawyers, including Democrats Sharon Block
and Richard Griffin, to the NLRB while the Senate was still in session.
