This comes from Brattleboro, the town that took months to decide whether or not it was offended by its teenagers walking around naked downtown. When the country splits up, the other side can keep Brattleboro.

Hey Brats! You want to see lunacy? Look at what your boy has going on down on the southern border. That’s lunacy!

Realistically, impeachment cannot succeed with harry Reid in the Senate.
What other manner of action is available to thwart this President’s actions?
Silence is consent. Until and unless Obama can be stopped someway, his actions will become president.

I don't understand this lawsuit at all.
Yes, sue him, impeach him, but for this?!?!?!
Boehner is essentially suing him for not doing what he should not have done, for botching the implementation of something that should not have been implemented in the first place.
No matter who wins this lawsuit, America loses and 0bama stays in office.

About what one would expect from a Vermont newspaper serving a small town full of sixties-hippies and the lesbian community at Bennington College.

At least, Boehner has the vision to recognize that the Obama administration is engaged in lawlessness, which seems to have escaped the Reformer's notice.

I don’t understand this logic, so if 1% republican was for it, but 99% was against it, its hypocritical for the 99% republican to oppose it? Thats not how hypocrisy work

The lawsuit is a waste of time, its just Boehner pushing his responsibility to someone else. He has the power to stop it, but he won’t to avoid bad press

Whether or not Boehner's threat has legal merit, Derek Wallbank, writing for Bloomberg, notes Boehner's lawsuit stands a very good chance of backfiring with voters. He reminds his readers that only 7 percent of Americans expressed confidence in Congress in a June Gallup poll, a historic low for the institution.

Seems like Congress has very little to lose here. Might as well go for broke.

Left-wing rant.

Never the less, Boehner is a coward, too afraid to pull the lever on Impeachment, so he brings up this useless grand-standing lawsuit that will accomplish absolutely nothing.

More empty PR gestures meant to fool those who aren’t paying close attention.

Shouldn’t causing the US to incur a 3.7 Billion Dollar debt as a direct result of his encouraging non-US citizens to break US laws be reason enough to IMPEACH this person? How much more can this country take? It’s a death by a thousand cuts for this Nation.

I agree with Palin, impeach the son-of-a-bitch.

Boehner is worried about stopping future presidents from breaking the law, I am worried about this guy doing the same thing...

It’s not the number of Executive Orders, it’s the overreaching. XO’s have their place and purpose.

These people are pure grade A idiots, but Boehner has done some much to breed contempt for himself, that I’ll just sit back and hit the snooze alarm here.

From Wikipedia: "United States Presidents issue executive orders to help officers and agencies of the executive branch manage the operations within the federal government itself. Executive orders have the full force of law[1] when they take authority from a power granted directly to the Executive by the Constitution, or are made in pursuance of certain Acts of Congress that explicitly delegate to the President some degree of discretionary power (delegated legislation). Like statutes or regulations promulgated by government agencies, executive orders are subject to judicial review, and may be struck down if deemed by the courts to be unsupported by statute or the Constitution. Major policy initiatives usually require approval by the legislative branch, but executive orders have significant influence over the internal affairs of government, deciding how and to what degree laws will be enforced, dealing with emergencies, waging war, and in general fine policy choices in the implementation of broad statutes."

... and ...

"There is no constitutional provision nor statute that explicitly permits executive orders. The term "executive power" Article II, Section 1, Clause 1 of the Constitution, refers to the title of President as the executive. He is instructed therein by the declaration "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed" made in Article II, Section 3, Clause 5, else he faces impeachment. Most executive orders use these Constitutional reasonings as the authorization allowing for their issuance to be justified as part of the President's sworn duties, the intent being to help direct officers of the U.S. Executive carry out their delegated duties as well as the normal operations of the federal government: the consequence of failing to comply possibly being the removal from office.

"An executive order of the President must find support in the Constitution, either in a clause granting the President specific power, or by a delegation of power by Congress to the President."

Obeidallah, who has a suggestion for the president. "If Boehner files this lawsuit, I can only hope that Obama files a bunch of counterclaims. ... And Obama should definitely sue Boehner to reimburse us for the costs associated with the 54 times the GOP-controlled House has voted to repeal Obamacare. Per CBS's 2013 calculations, those meaningless votes cost $52.4 million in taxpayer's dollars."

I don't think Mr. Obey Dallah has the foggiest notion as to what he is talking about. What would be the counterclaims? The fact is that courts have in the past denied standing to one or a few members of Congress filing a lawsuit. It will be harder to deny standing to an entire chamber, one with specific powers granted to it. Let's see what happens.

A denser forest of libtard insanity one could never find. Nice folks but they have drank deeply from the tree of liberal evil.

“Need we remind our voters that the Affordable Care Act was passed in 2009 with only one Republican vote?”

Who? it passed without a single Republican voter.

By the time it gets to court, both Obama and crybaby will be out of office.

Herd Mark Levin on this idiot’s (Boehner’s) latest caper.

He said that the House is not a branch of government. CONGRESS is the legislative body and since the Senate is not going to take part in this, the House will be found by the Federal Courts to have “no standing”. Further, he said similar suits have been tried in the past and the Federal Courts are reluctant to participate. Further, the charges Boehner are framing against Obama constitute impeachable offenses. By turning to the Federal Courts for a resolution of this issue, he, Boehner, is potentially compromising any future action against Obama via impeachment. The Federal Courts have a lot of liberal judges, and if this case is dismissed by them, Obama can come back and say “See, what I have been doing IS constitutional”.

That idiot Boehner should be waiting for the NEXT session when the GOP may take over the Senate and IMPEACH him.

Once again, the gang that couldn’t shoot straight is demonstrating its ineptitude.

The thing these people don’t understand is that gridlock and “doing nothing” is the saving grace in our governmental system.

I think this guy is wrong and it got not a single Republican vote...and that is probably the biggest reason to repeal it because at least half the country doesn’t want it.

Stoping Obama is a positive step and reigning him in is absolutely necessary.
