washington. thanks, peter. a major set back for president obama. a federal court of appeals ruled he violated the u.s. constitution when he sidestepped congress and used recess appointments to fill positions on the national labor relations board. whi white house press secretary jay carney said there is precedence for the president's actions. >> there are a lot of cases out there with different courts we respectfully but strongly disagree with the decision. it counters 150 years of precedence. >> let's bring in bob kusiak n managing editor. >> evidences not in recess when he made his recess appointment. it was in pro ferm -- pro form
4:14 pm
precedence. if i simply declare by fiat that it is in recess it will be so. you can't do that you are violating the constitution. bit of an embarrassment from a former law professor. >> it is a tough blow. when the senate wasn't passing bills it was technically in session. the court found 3 to 0 that obama violated article two of the constitution. >> both republicans and democrats have done these type of recessed appointments. it goes down to what is a definition of a recess. if you go back to the constitution and that's what the judges did. they said 80 years after the constitution was ratified no president did a recess appointment like obama did. these guys that were appointed no good. >> in fact the chief judge was especially critical of president

obama saying that he was giving himself, and i will quote here, free reign to appoint his desired nominees any time he pleases whether that time be a weekend or lunch or even when the senate is in session and he is merely displeased with its interaction. this cannot be the law. well, bob, if this were the law the president would then have unchecked unfettered discretion and ability to name anybody to any post at any time whenever he wants. wouldn't that render the constitution advise and consent clause meaningless? >> well that's what republicans are saying this is a victory for the separation of powers clause. they are calling the nrb to step down. the head of the consumer agency was nominated the same way. there is november pending lawsuit on that. this ruling suggests that it may
4:16 pm
be null and void. all of the decisions nrb has made hundreds of them could be voided. that is a problem with the consumer agency, too. this has to go supreme court. this has not been friendly to labor. this could be chaos in terms of how to pick up the pieces from this. >> to push that along the labor board only has one legal member and it needs a quorum of at least three to decide any cases. doesn't it also mean that everything that the nlrb has ruled on is invalid and we were talking about hundreds of decisions everything from collective bargaining agreements to the rights of workers to use social media which was the most recent decision. >> all of those decisions could be thrown at. they have no choice. the cases may be combined and

how can they do that? >> we had very, very smart analysts. it is about the projection of how fast this company can continue to grow how many i pads they can sell how many i pods and new products might be coming on the street and how fast can they grow their revenue. clearly at this point in the game apple has slowed down. they had a phenomenal quarter second best quarter in the entire history. $13 billion in profit but not at the paste analysts were expecti expecting. this company is maturing from a growth company to a value company. as such it is not able to continue to grow at the momentum. it will be a profitable well-known company but not as it did no the past. >> competitors seem to be growing largest competitors samsung reported mrof fitprofit increasing in large part because of the galaxy phone. and cheaper smart phones. is that something apple should

4:43 pm
>> the nfl is facing a wrongful death lawsuit from the family of a legendary linebacker junior seau. he killed himself last year. tests later reveal he suffered from a brain disease cte caused by repeated head injuries. the family blamed the league and issued a statement to explain why they filed the suit. let's bring in our legal panel. dick de zigler joins us. vicky, football is a game in
4:44 pm
which they are vl tarrylly participating. it can be violent with collisions. players know that. they willingly engage in tackling and in the law isn't that called assumption of the risk? doesn't it insulate the nfl from liability? >> that's the first thing i would bring up. nobody is forcing them to go on the field. obviously it is mortal combat where you are having physical contact. that's the first argument. second one is who is con trib toerlly neglect? if junior seau had any medical problems he didn't go. they are there during practices to make sure. >> there's an even bigger point of contributor renegligence. give he loved the physicality of the game. he enjoyed tackling opposing
4:45 pm
players. i am not sure you can blame the nfl for that. he is quoted as saying this, if i feel some dizziness, i know that guy the opposing player is feeling double that. there is no such thing as a safe tackle. concussions happen. unless you stop the game entirely you are going to have head injuries aren't you? >> junior is one of the greatest. i am a lifetime charger fan. i follow him forever. you cannot assume the risk for things you don't know about. he assumed the risk for concussions headaches broken bones but he did not assume the risk for chronic traumatic enself lop the. >> it is a phenomenon people have known about and doctors have known about for decades. repeated blows to the head are going to cause problems long-term. >> not alzheimer's like symptoms this disease has.
4:46 pm
here's the problem the nfl has. in 94 they created a commission to look into this. they said yeah there's problems but the multiple concussions aren't like boxes where it is very serious and causes long-term injuries. then in 99 five years later they celted with three different players only one of whom we know. mike webster the former steelers great. one doctor testified in that case his brain injuries were similar to someone who had been in 25,000 car accidents. >> there's a problem here. >> the problem of approximate cause and there are two approximate cause problems here. number one, did violent concussions cause seau's cte and did cte cause seau to kill himself or was it something else? >> very difficult to prove. very good point. this could go on for years. the medical testimony will have to prove a direct cause, a relationship to junior seau's death a self-inflicted wound and
4:47 pm
the nfl having some culpability. that will be difficult. they will also look at causation. >> there is one other thing. we are talking suicide here. that is a voluntary act. it's a choice. to claim that someone or something, the nfl in this case is to blame for causing it, that has always been legally problematic in cases hasn't it? >> here's the thing, it is tough. i will give you that. but there is precedent for it. three years ago former chicago bears great dave doersome committed suicide in the exact same way took a gun put it to his chest and shot and killed himself. cte there are studies does cause suicidal tendencies. >> -- (talking over one another) >> the people who cause suicide are the victims themselves. >> you know what the defense team will do they will look at all of the other factors
4:48 pm
depression, was there drug and alcohol addiction, financial problems. all of these other things attributed to his death. >> we are out of time. good to see you both. thank you. >> good to see you, greg. >> coming up when the muslim brotherhood took over in egypt it raised alarms in the west and israel. why did the u.s. just send cairo four f-16 fighter jets with plans to send even more in the future? is this really the best strategy right now?
4:49 pm
4:50 pm
4:51 pm
4:52 pm
>> growing controversy for egypt. they conformed the delivery of f-16 fighter jets bound for cairo. it is part of a deal back in 2010. that was before the country's revolution and the rise to power of the muslim brotherhood. kt mcfarland is a fox news analyst and she joins us with more. thank you juror joining us. >> even president obama said the alliance with the u.s. was solid during hmubarek's reign. the deal had already been
4:53 pm
approved congress could only have been rescinded by president obama. why did he choose to allow it to go through? >> there are three reasons this is a really bad idea. number one, we are having a national debate on guns and we have determined that you don't want to put dangerous weapons in the hands of unstable people. why are we putling it in the hands of unstable country likely egypt right now. it has political and economic chaos. the second reason is we like to get something for when we give foreign aid and foreign military sales. when i worked for henry kissinger it was the beginning of the united states relationship with egypt. we will give you military equipment and aid but we want a peace agreement with israel we want you to keep that. that has kept the peace for 40 years. as you pointed out egypt has maybe reconsidered that. they are calling israel pigs and
4:54 pm
apes and maybe we should reconsider that deal. finally the problem i have with it, what are they going to use this stuff for? are they going to fire them against their own people against egypt or american ships in the sue ez cannell. i think it's a really bad yaide. >> why did the president allow it to go through? is there any guarantee that he would not use the weapons against israel or his own people? >> here is why the administration says they have to go through with it. they signed a deal a couple years ago. they are findly delivering it even though they may have signed it with the previous leader. the second thing is if we don't go ahead and give the equipment to egypt they are going to be mad at us. maybe it will make them more unstable. you can slow walk the first one even if you have an agreement with them. secondly why don't we say one of the conditions is egypt you have
4:55 pm
to say you are going to buy that peace agreement in israel. >> i am sorry i did it again, mohammed morsi and mubarek being the previous leader. we are 15 trillion in debt as well. let's talk about the amount of money that goedz to egypt. in 2012 which provided 1.5 billion in total aid 1.3 billion in military aid financial said finanaid financi. can we continue this kind of support? >> i am all for porn aid. i think it's cheaper to buy friends than kill enemies. but i want something for that money. the other thing to remember is they are on their rope economically. they mid 1.5 billion month to
4:56 pm
get fuel oil and transportation fuel. they are desperate for that kind of assistance. as you pointed out what are we giving money for we are not getting anything next change for it. we need to rethink the whole thing. >> thank you very much. always appreciate it. >> not an issue that will be going away any time soon. >> that's going to do it for us. "the five" begins next. >> we will see you back here tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. eastern. be sure to join us. captioned by, closed captioning services, inc.
