Boehner Critics Blew It Before [They approve of Boo Hoo suing the Zero]
Investors Business Daily ^ | July 16, 2014

Separation Of Powers: John Boehner's lawsuit against President Obama is being mocked by the very same people who dismissed an earlier challenge to Obama's imperial ways — one the Supreme Court unanimously upheld.

That case involved Obama's decision in early 2012 to make "recess" appointments to several key posts, though the Senate was still in session. As with Boehner's proposed suit, it was widely ridiculed as a "political stunt" without legal merit that would end up backfiring on the GOP.

Laurence Tribe, the left's favorite constitutional law professor, said, "Whatever standards the courts ultimately adopt . .. this case ought to be a slam-dunk."

But Jonathan Turley — a George Washington University law professor and generally an Obama supporter — took it seriously.

Turns out Turley had it right. So right, in fact, that the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Obama violated the Constitution in making those appointments.

It's worth noting that the same cast of characters also mocked legal challenges to ObamaCare until the high court found several chunks of it unconstitutional.

Now these stray shooters are busy ridiculing Boehner's legal challenge, which seeks to rein in Obama's many other efforts to circumvent Congress.

Obvious errors in IBD's reasoning:

  1. It will take years for Boo Hoo's lawsuit to prevail.
  2. By then, the damage will be irreversible.
  3. The lame brain can (and will) flagrantly ignore the courts and constitution much like he already does now.
  4. The dumb butts already have a solution ... impeach the SOB ... dare the Senate not to convict ... place each and every Rat and Rino squarely on the record for the day the economy melts and people start to hunt politicians with dogs.

Mark Levin has the best assessment of this lawsuit, if it wins it discards congresses power and empower the judiciary. If it loses it discards congress powers and Legitimizes the corrupt POTUS...

Just FYI, Boehner suffers from a brain or psychological problem (could be either or both) called emotional incontinence. It is characterized by an involuntary emotional display that is out of proportion or not related to any input. While his intelligence is unaffected it isn’t something you want in a leader.

No, he’s a perpetual drunk. Droopy red face, bloodshot
eyes. He hits the hooch the second he wakes up and is
drunk all day.

First I’ve heard of that. One would think with the one-way investigative press they’d have covered this and there would be at least the same number of drinking videos of him that there are of Hillary. You’d see him trip and fall more, as I’ve seen her do. (I can’t believe Hillary has allowed herself to be photographed drinking as many times as she has. Or, that the press would take or show the photos as they are bad optics.)

“.......Obama violated the Constitution in making those appointments.”.......

So what happened to those he illegally “appointed”, are they still in their cushy positions or not?

I suspect you need to respond to somebody else on the thread. However, my understanding is they don’t get paid. That being the problem. But this president has sufficient slush he can just pay them from his cocaine fund. Thus, they’d probably stay.
