A lawsuit? What a joke.

The basic problem with that kind of legal action by a legislative body is that it automatically acknowledges that the legislature's clear authority would be subject to the whims of the judicial branch of government. Nothing can be further from the truth here in the U.S. A legislative body that files a lawsuit to deal with abuses of executive power is nothing more than a bunch of cowards and should cease to exist.

Every executive abuse that George Will can contemplate in this administration is carried out by executive branch appointees whose offices are subject to Federal funding that can only be authorized by Congress.

The problem the U.S. is facing right now isn't an abusive executive branch of government: it's a legislative branch that is perfectly comfortable with the arrangement.

We have a lawless Senate. What can the House do about that?

.....”The problem the U.S. is facing right now isn’t an abusive executive branch of government: it’s a legislative branch that is perfectly comfortable with the arrangement”.....

I couldn’t agree more with your statement and dead on! The few who are ‘un-comfortable’ seem to do no more than talk a walk, at best they shuffle from one foot to the other which misleads people to imagine something might be done...it never is.
