 Dear Jack, "This is a constitutional crisis," I argued on Fox News in one of many interviews I've conducted since Friday. As you may have heard, your National Right to Work Foundation filed the first legal challenge to President Barack Obama's purported "recess" appointments to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). This is just about as big as it gets for those of us dedicated to defending liberty. You see, last week, lawyers for the NLRB notified the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia that Obama's three "recess" appointees to the Board were now parties to the Foundation's ongoing legal battle against another Obama Labor Board power grab. Foundation attorneys seized upon the opportunity to defend the U.S. Constitution and our system of checks and balances. Our Founding Fathers brilliantly devised a system that empowers Congress to hold the President accountable -- a system President Obama has defiantly violated to pay back his Big Labor benefactors. The "advice and consent clause" allows the Senate to ensure that Presidential appointments to powerful executive positions are qualified and not beholden to special interests like Big Labor. The President may fill vacancies while Congress has recessed, but Obama's latest move even runs afoul of the rule cited by an Obama Administration lawyer at the U.S. Supreme Court in 2010 -- "the recess has to be longer than 3 days." The closer you look at Obama's latest power grab, the more it stinks. The White House never even submitted the proper paperwork to the Senate Labor Committee to let the Committee members conduct background checks and interview two of the nominees -- including a lawyer for the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE). This is indeed a constitutional crisis, and I'm proud to be a part of this vital fight to defend the Constitution. But as with any crisis, the battle is going to expensive. Our staff attorneys will need significant resources to conduct the legal research and file briefs necessary to defeat this unconstitutional power grab, as our public relations team continues to expose the Obama Administration's outrageous move in the media. So please, click here to make an emergency tax-deductible contribution of whatever you can afford right away. You can bet the Obama Administration is going to defend this egregious abuse of authority with all they've got. Our country's constitutional balance is in jeopardy. Thank you for helping us fight back. Sincerely,  Mark Mix P.S.
