Ha ha ha! Obama already names replacement NLRB members. Too bad, so sad McTurtle.

Two veteran labor lawyers will be President Barack Obama's new picks to serve on the National Labor Relations Board as part of an agreement to win confirmation for several of his stalled appointees, two Democratic officials said Tuesday.

Obama intends to nominate Nancy Schiffer, who retired last year as an associate general counsel at the AFL-CIO, and Kent Hirozawa, currently the chief counsel to the NLRB's chairman, said the officials, who disclosed the developments on condition of anonymity because they were not free to speak about the events by name.

They are both llifetime pro-union attorneys. Hirozawa is chief counsel to current chairman Mark Gaston Pearce, another lifetime pro-union lawyer.

McConnell promised a confirmation vote for these two within two weeks. Ha ha ha ha!

The Prez. would agree to 2 new appointments. That way the it would have no effect on the law suites involving the "recess appointments" of 2 earlier nominees.
