Boehner’s Lawsuit Against Obama Begins
Click here for reuse options!Boehner’s office released a draft document on Thursday of the resolution set to be filed in the House of Representatives, which would authorize the chamber to take legal action against the president.
“Today we’re releasing a draft resolution that will authorize the House to file suit over the way President Obama unilaterally changed the employer mandate,” Boehner said in a statement.
“In 2013, the president changed the health care law without a vote of Congress, effectively creating his own law by literally waiving the employer mandate and the penalties for failing to comply with it. That’s not the way our system of government was designed to work. No president should have the power to make laws on his or her own.”

It’s tough to win a law suit when there is no victim and no damages.
My hope is that this waste of tax money charade will get sane Americans who are tired of this rightwing theatrical horse shit out to the polls.

The GOP is drowning and looking for the life saver that isn’t there

Then the economy, jobs, immigration reform and all of those “No” votes should be a counter-suit.

Then the economy, jobs, immigration reform and all of those “No” votes should be a counter-suit for the GOP not performing their congressional duties.

The Republicans will reap what they sow if a Republican ever gets into the White House again.
Of course, at that point it will be unpatriotic to be obstructionist or to question the president.

You are talking about Democrats. They will not go this far. They didn’t press to indict W’s administration where they had the law on their side, never mind public sentiment and the world’s opinions of his criminal behavior.

I hope they reap what they blow and end up with oral herpes.

Please proceed, Tea People.

Well, that did distract them for a very long time.

Ok, so I’m no constitutional scholar, or lawyer, or even thinking this stupidity goes anywhere, but who has jurisdiction here? The published document specifies “Federal Court”, so, I’m assuming that’s the 3rd Circuit Federal Court. But, who’s the plaintiff? Congress? The sections of US Code seem to not have anything to do with Executive action, but State tax issues. Am I a better lawyer wannabe than Congress? I hope not!

I’m looking forward to seeing Boehner hand the Speaker’s gavel back to Nancy Pelosi; I hope he doesn’t cry too much while doing so.

Flaccid Boehner feigns ignorance of SCOTUS ruling every POTUS has broad latitude implementing laws via constitutionally mandated Executive Authority. Not many are going to tune in to this latest GOP TV scripted faux reality show.
