Mitch McConnell: Senate Republicans Will Sign On To Case Against Obama Recess Appointments

On CNN’s State of the Union Sunday, Minority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell said Republicans would sign on to a case against President Obama’s recess appointments of Richard Cordray to head the CFPB as well as three members to the NLRB. Republicans would do so in the form of an amicus brief. In the meantime, Utah Sen. Mike Lee has promised to oppose all Obama appointees until the recess appointments are sorted out — an position McConnell refused to condemn on Sunday.
