>> Yet the Obama administration stepped in and blocked Boeing << Did the NLRB hearing on that matter occur? It was an ALJ position, not a decision yet. Isn't that still being contested? The Boeing plant is already built. quote "Boeing has every right to manufacture planes in South Carolina, or anywhere else, for that matter, as long as those decisions are based on legitimate business considerations," Lafe Solomon, the agency's acting general counsel, told the House Committee on Oversight and Government Relations meeting in South Carolina. UPDATE Aug 16 bloomberg.com There is a stalemate. Boeing-NLRB Case’s Judge Urges Haste as Board Stalemate Looms By Susanna Ray - Aug 16, 2011 5:04 PM ET Boeing Co. (BA) and the National Labor Relations Board were urged by a judge today to move quickly in a hearing over allegations of illegal retaliation against a union because the shrinking board faces a looming stalemate. One NLRB member’s term expires on Aug. 27, and another’s is up in December. With one vacancy already, that will cut the board to two members from a full complement of five. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled last year that a two-member board can’t issue rulings, so if any party makes a special appeal on one of the judge’s intermediate decisions, the case could be deadlocked. . Obama also can’t make recess appointments unless the Senate recesses. The Republican-controlled House is keeping the Democrat-controlled Senate from adjourning, for that very reason.

You seemed interested after stating you thought Obama shouldn't get involved in Wisconsin's labor issues. Yet the Obama administration stepped in and blocked Boeing from opening a new manufacturing plant in South Carolina because of labor issues. The unions filed a complaint with the Nat. Labor Relationships Board. The Board investigates all complaints. The plant was not blocked at all. From what I understand, it opened in July right on schedule. I wonder what the Obama administration would do if Boeing and China came to an agreement to open a new manufacturing facility in China... What does that have to with state's rights?
