(AP) The status of some 300 decisions made last year by the labor relations board are in legal doubt, with two federal appeals courts issuing vastly different opinions about their validity on the same day.
The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington said Friday that all the decisions handed down in 2008 by the National Labor Relations Board are invalid because they were made by just two members. But the U.S. Court of Appeals located in Chicago said in an opinion issued within the same hour that the votes by two members was sufficient.
The board is supposed to have five members but it had three vacancies because Democrats who controlled Congress objected to President George W. Bush's labor policies and refused to confirm his nominees.

This is what partisan politics brings you. Gridlock. The Democrats did their best to bring the American system to it's knees for years, now they are calling the Republicans the party of No.?
