A federal Appellate Court ruling that president obama violated the constitution more than a year ago when he made three recess appointments to the National LaborRelations Board. This week began with the administrations allout assault on the Second Amendment and our right to own guns and concludes with this federal court ruling that the administration acted against the constitution and in so doing the court, through the nlrb rulings of the past 16 months into question. This week the Republican Party put forward a plan on the debt ceiling in debt and appears to have won the support of both the president and Senate Majority leader. The republican change in direction and tone was not matched by a change in the Republican Partys lead. The rnc reelected the chairman after losing both the white house and ten seats in congress to democrats in that 2012 election. His job as head of the National Party even as lenient louisianas popular governor and from a republican both cried out for the partys revitalization, new ideas, and the voices.

Secretary panetta competing for media and public attention when he made a surprise announcement as he lifted the ban on female troops in combat. Retired army general and done what the, the first female fourstar general and the army joins us your life. We begin tonight with a Unanimous Court ruling seen as a major setback for the president and his agenda and his efforts to stack the National LaborRelations Board with unionfriendly officials. Fox news chief White House Correspondent ed henry with our report. As he wrote that the white house chief of staff dennis mcdonald, president obama was hoping for a smooth start his second term. Instead he was brushed back by a federal Appeals Court ruling unanimously violating the constitution last year. It was just ice huge, massive overstep of executive power, and an unconstitutional power grab. The controversy stems from a dramatic electionyear showdown in which the president by passed the senate and put three picks on the National LaborRelations Board by using recess appointments on january 4th 2012. A power the white house continued to defend vociferously to they. The decision is novel and unprecedented. Contradicting 150 years of practice by democratic and republican ed ministrations. Except republicans used proforma sessions to make sure the senate was not really in recess when the president made the appointments. Gop senators today hailed the courts decision as a major victory. I think he has been getting ready to exercise a lot of executive overreach, a lot of executive orders and regulations and tried to push his agenda that way. So this ruling comes at a very, very appropriate time, i think, for the constitution and for the American People. White house officials downplayed it by saying this was Just One Court and one case. A suit brought by a familyowned soft drink business in Washington State challenging the nlrb demand to enter into a collective Bargaining Agreement with the labor union. Conservatives insist that the case has massive implications because the Supreme Court ruled last summer that the nlrb must have at least three people to make rules. Since august of 2011 you have not had a 3member board that has been confirmed by the senate. And so under the Supreme Court decision, and the process, this means that all those decisions are void. Richard cordray was also installed by recess appointment and january 4th, 2012. Why conservatives a all of his work at the head of the consumer venture Protection Bureau is now null and void, the white house insists no precedent was set to take. It has no bearing on richard cordray, and we, as i said, strongly disagree. Republicans also think is ruling is huge because of the fact that the nlrb has now issued over 200 decisions since january of 2012 when these recess appointments happened, including expanded powers for unions to get information from corporations and also a new rule that forces corporations to take out union dues from paychecks, even if a collective Bargaining Agreement has expired. The bottom line is, all of these issues now are up for review. Lou up for review, and if the Supreme Court does not take up this case, there will be afforded, will they not . There are some legal analysts who are saying that. Charlie the white house believes that they are on firm legal ground. That has been questioned, no doubt, but this Appeals Court, but the white house, through the justice department, is related take this to the Supreme Court. There are still confident in victory. Lou thank you. I never heard a white house ever not confident in these things. Thank you so much. Fox news chief White House Correspondent. The president is also expected to nominate his new budget director in the coming days. Sources say the leading candidate is Sylvia Matthews are well, the president of all walmart charity foundation, a veteran of the clinton administration. The pentagon today said it has become as more as many as 46,000 temporary employees at a budget cuts. The department of defense set to see 487 billion in cuts over the next decade. The pentagon also warning that if further budget cuts to take place it will be forced to furlough most of its 800,000 fulltime citizen employees. Welcome my next guest became the countrys first female fourstar general back in 2008. Rewarded her perspective to allow women in combat and a place to have with this general and then would become a retired commanding general of the u. S. Army material command. Could to have you here. Your thoughts from your perspective what this means for first the army itself in the country. Well, good evening, lou. First, i think it is a great decision. It is a good decision. The timing is right, and that think this decision now runs policy with the current realities on todays battlefield. Lou the realities include a more technologically oriented military, but still the requirements for special operations, special forces, infantry. In your judgment and commander as a leader of tens of thousands , do you believe that women will have soon of role in such elements of our army and other branches . I believe this policy is the way and as the chairman and the sec staff laid out, that there is an assessment phase and a revision of the current military operation specialties with every visit. The standards, the requirements for each one of those military operational specialties. And by doing so they will ensure that those women and men who are applying for those particular specialties will meet those qualifications. So they have the desire and the qualification without compromising those standards. Lou many people in this argument debate and hopefully just plain old discussion have sided with the israelis, men and women serving shoulder to shoulder and really every role in their military. Can you think of a reason why it should not be so in the United States military . No, i cannot think of any reason. And i have heard the naysayers. I no there are many out there that believe this cannot be done without compromising those standards. Having served almost 38 years in an institution where i have lived and scene change throughout my career, and i can assure you, being one of the very first female officers had the opportunity to attend airborne school, and you can imagine the looks on the instructors. It was not a popular decision. But, can assure you that having that opportunity to go to airborne school. People say why you want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane . Well, it was exciting. It sounded challenging. So i had the opportunity to do that, but by having that opportunity that later opened the door for me to serve in the esteemed 802nd Airborne Division and command there. I had the opportunity to go to jet masters cool. That is a very prestigious and demanding school. Primarily male dominated. I was the only female in the class surrounded by special forces folks. You know, they didnt change the standards. That is their responsibility of airborne operations, and peoples lives depend on your ability to lead. So i have seen change. By having that opportunity i was able to command in airborne parachute rigger detachment in germany airdropping. And then to be assigned to the division parachute officer slot in the 802nd Airborne Division, that was previously all male. Lou we can put it this way, you were commanding one of the armys most chronicled, decorated commands, the 802nd. A command of which most most men cannot gain entrance. We thank you very much. We appreciate you. Come back since. Thank you. Thank you. Have a great evening. Lou you, too. Whats more on women in combat. We will take that up with the ateam and what it means for our society, economy, and, of course, United States military as we proceed here tonight. Stay with us. A bull run on wall street.

Ive got what it takes. So do you. Lou protests in egypt turning deadly as thousands and thousands of egyptians took to the streets to protest their new government and president mohammed more seats. Todays clashes marking the to dish your anniversary if joined by fox his middle east and terrorism expert and analysts. Good to have you here. Lets start with what is happening in egypt. Give us a sense of this has been going on for some time. To what affect . Well, look, this is a defining moment. What we see right now on the streets of egypt, two years after the first revolution, a second revolution. Those who are organizing these demonstrations on the ground, as we see in the pictures, the same people who started the original arabs bring in cairo two years ago. So you have those young people, secular, liberal, Womens Movement minorities rising against the Muslim Brotherhood government regime. This is an important moment for the International Committee to make a choice. We are doing is sending more weapons instead of more support to the use. Lou and what kind of support are those who are demonstrating in the streets of cairo and drought egypt today, what kind of support are they receiving from the international community, in particular the United States, if any . Theyre not receiving anything. It reminds us of june of 2009 when you had 2 million, mostly young people, boys and girls in the streets. There were not calling for weapons or money. Just a dress us, talk to us. Now its happening in egypt. You have a regime which is getting our support, taxpayer support on the one hand, and you have a Civil Society that wants to get rid of that regime or change the regime which is not even recognized. We need to have a speech and narrative toward those people to have them believe there on the right path and receive them here in washington d. C. Lou we are offering a gift of 16 to the government. Abrams tanks, some 200 of them. How is it a gift . And what in the world of those weapons to be against him are those weapons to be used . A huge question. I mean, observers in the middle eastern not, you know, understanding at this point in time. First of all, against him, as you said. If you have a peace treaty with israel theyre not going to get past them in the sinai or use them against demonstrators like khaddafi did. Theyre going to send them to the sudan, darfur. Plus, when people on the streets c. S. Sending more weapons to the Muslim Brotherhood government, there will be defeated morally. Theyre not going to send ore weapons until you reform policy. Rear doing just the opposite. Lou we are not even hearing an outcry from anyone in the senate from the congress, at least strong voices, prominent or numerous voices in either house. Why is that . Well, they need to be well informed. Congressional leaders need to be well informed about it is playing in the streets of the joint command that is very important. Will we see right now is a defining moment for the future. Those used to be our partners in the future. We should be sending foreign aid to them, that the regime of president. My call to congress is you have to do something about it. You have to pressure the administration to have a different policy with regard to egypt. Lou north korea again threatening south korea, threatening the United States, threatening another nuclear test the prospect of more missile tests. What should be the u. S. Response to what has, it looks to be, another adventuress regime in north korea. First, the equation is simple. The more north korean regime is going to do in terms of showing as the missiles, testing missiles demobilizing, threatening against the south koreans, and we dont do anything meaningful. Meeting, we dont have a containment policy, the work even with the chinese and the russians to contain the North Koreans. You do more of it. At some point in time there will show us the missiles with the bomb. The other byproduct of this is that other regimes, the Iranian Regime is looking at how we are not containing the North Koreans, even after the develop the weapon. What will their conclusion b . So if we dont have a containment now, not only north korea, but other countries, other regimes are going to follow the path. Lou what will china do . It is the sponsor of north korea. It has determined the influence over their regime irrespective of what people want to play at in this country and our national media. What should be the relationship between the United States and china on the issue of north korea . It should be around nationals this National Security discussion with the chinese. They have a lot of problems. Many asset minorities rising. A lot of the system. When we sit down, the first thing should be you should take care of the North Koreans. We will take care with you and the russians. Once the North Koreans of ten Nuclear Weapon you also could be on that list of being threatened and intimidated. Lou we appreciate it, as always. Thank you. Up next, the president says we should not seek alternative Energy Technology advances to other nations. We will show you why that is exactly what this administration is doing.
