Lawffice Links - Noel Canning Hits SCOTUS

Were President Obama's NLRB recess appointments constitutional? We're one step closer to an answer from SCOTUS! Let's taste some Lawffice Links on the subject:

• The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals issued this opinion holding that the recess appointments were unconstitutional.
• Now, the NLRB has taken its case to the Supreme Court by filing this petition for writ of certiorari.
• This report indicates that the employer, Noel Canning, will "encourage the court to take the case."
• If you're really interested in the president's recess appointments power, check out the Volokh Conspiracy's Recess Appointments Reading List.
• Meanwhile, the NLRB has work to do, so President Obama has nominated enough members to fill the roster. Even if they're confirmed, the Noel Canning case could still call into question all of the cases decided by the disputed recess appointees prior to confirmation.

I think SCOTUS will take this one, but you never know.
