A few weeks ago we blogged about consolidated cases pending in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, in which the petitioners were seeking writs of mandamus or prohibition, to stop the NLRB from issuing further decisions unless and until it had a properly appointed quorum. 

As of July 31, the NLRB has a full complement of Board Members, for the first time in about ten years.  The fact the deal on appointments has been progressing for a few weeks did not prohibit the three member Board of questionable constitutional validity from continuing to render decisions.
