I found it interesting to read the editorial, “Obama’s Lawless Labor Board,” in today’s Wall Street Journal.
First, because it points once again to the culture of corruption in the Obama administration. The editorial describes how a federal appeals court struck down a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ruling because its acting general counsel was in the job illegally.

The president appointed Lafe Soloman to serve as acting general counsel in June 2010, but the Senate refused to confirm him and he left the NLRB in November 2013. The court found that Obama, and in turn Soloman, violated the Federal Vacancies Reform Act, which holds that a person cannot serve as an acting officer while also nominated for the post.
Soloman was an active participant in the NLRB’s legal complaint against Boeing’s desire to build aircraft in South Carolina, a right-to-work state, and also issue a complaint against an Arizona ambulance firm before departing his “acting” position.
You may recall that the D.C. Circuit Court ruled against Obama recess appointments in 2013, and that the Supreme Court followed suit last year.
WSJ agrees with kramerontheright
Finally, I was pleased to note that the Wall Street Journal agrees with the conclusion I drew in my Aug. 8, piece in which I compared the Obama’s administration scandals to those of the Nixon administration.
The Journal concluded its editorial saying, “The evidence builds that this is the most lawless Administration since Richard Nixon’s.”
