John Boehner Is Getting Ready To Mount A Potentially Gigantic Lawsuit Against Obama
Yahoo Finance ^ | 6/24/14 | Brett LoGiurato - Business Insider

Posted on 06/24/2014 7:14:22 PM PDT by NormsRevenge

House Speaker John Boehner could file a lawsuit against President Barack Obama in days, in an attempt to challenge the administration's heavy use of executive actions to further its agenda.

Roll Call's Daniel Newhause reports Boehner told House Republicans during a closed-door meeting on Tuesday he could have an announcement in the coming days on whether he will mount the legal challenge. According to the report, he has been "consulting with legal scholars" ahead of his next move.

Boehner's office confirmed the Roll Call story, but declined to comment on whether specific executive actions would be targeted. Any legal action by Boehner would be a significant and somewhat unprecedented challenge to executive power.

I support God to support... yes Boehner. Unless you have a better, more credible party at hand to replace Boehner, in which case I will tout the virtues of that person in tandem with asking God to support that person.

But we are under the chastisement of God, and to slap back at the one who is scourging is an infantile reaction.

There is your answer.

Sad times. Here we have one of the most powerful positions in U.S government, the Speaker of the House thinks throwing a doomed to fail lawsuit at it has any meaning?

It’s doomed to fail because the problem is political and the solution needs to be political.

The Speaker has a bully pulpit to — if he would ever use it.

“What has he done for us [conservatives] lately?”

The last specific thing I remember was John telling conservatives, “Get your a**es in line!”.
Of course that’s like commanding cats to do close order drill, then we began wondering who the heck this guy was anyway, so now here we are and ...

Well that’s a reasoned approach so I won’t dispute it. I still think impeachment charges are long overdue and I do not believe the D senators would be able to just cast defend- Obama votes once the charges were pressed forward. But your way is logical.

"could have an announcement in the coming days on whether he will mount the legal challenge"

Or maybe he'll consider starting a dialog to discuss whether or not he'll announce that he's thinking about the possibility of mounting the legal challenge.

I’ve thought for a long time he wasn’t mentally balanced.

I’m sure he’ll mount anything politically detrimental to Obama.

Right. With a democrat Senate, impeachment would be counterproductive.

Please elaborate as to why Boehner should not be a target of derision by conservatives. As in: What has he done for us lately?

Boehner does to things for us. He and the rest of the RINOs running the stupid party do things to us.

I doubt this. Whatever he is doing it won’t be good for America or it’s people.

Given Bonehead’s less than sterling leadership abilities, I’m going with not.

“Boehner knows its an election year. He has no intention of doing anything effective”

Practicing alcoholic/addicts don’t do effective anyway.
