Two member NLRB case set for oral argument

The Supreme Court set oral argument in New Process Steel for March 23. The case involves the validity of 2 member decisions by the NLRB. If as reported by the New York TimesPresident Obama intends to renominate Craig Becker to the NLRB, ensuring further delay in filling the 3 Board vacancies, the case before SCOTUS may affect an increasing number of decisions that will be decided by a two member NLRB.
