And McConnell's argument is that this is the constitutional right of the legislative body to proceed in such a manner (for the reasons he gave in the article).

Anyway here's Professor Bruce Ackerman of Yale University faulting Obama for:

1: Not using the DOJ for his legal opinion/reliance in making the appointments (its an Arms length agency supposedly independent instead of WH counsel) and;

2. Not releasing the WH's counsel's legal opinion on which Obama based his appointment actions. Essentially ruling by fiat.
