In a lengthy interview on Friday afternoon, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) exposed how House Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Majority Whip Steve Scalise strengthened President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty with procedural trickery former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber would envy—and they did it all in the name of pushing a bill that they told Republicans would block Obama’s executive amnesty.
What’s more is that a series of interviews and recent developments indicate that Boehner’s gambit here is placing several of his top lieutenants—including at least two committee chairmen—at political risk of serious primary challenges just a few months after newly elected Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA) beat now former House Majority Leader Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) in a Republican primary.
Gohmert said most members had no idea what they were actually voting for when 219 members—216 of which were Republicans—approved a measure, H.R. 5759, first put forward by Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL), but subsequently dramatically altered by leadership officials in the Rules Committee process. “I was a cosponsor of the original Yoho bill. I thought it was a very decent bill, it was very short—it was only about a page and a half—and it basically said that anything the president did in violation of current law including what he’s done with ordering work permits for people who are illegally here, it’s illegal,” Gohmert said.

That is the real problem, most members of congress secretly support amnesty and hope it is all done and over with before they have to do anything beyond say a few words to appease Americans,
Everyone needs to read the entire article. A couple of posts from other threads stand out:

House Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Majority Whip Steve Scalise should be convicted of treason.
Not only did they use a trick to get Republicans to support Executive Amnesty, they have decided to make Executive Amnesty the law by using subterfuge to change that bill, without notifying members they had done so. Thus creating a bill that gives the president legal right to pass out green cards to anyone he wants to declare downtrodden.
This responsibility was given by the Constitution to Congress. Boehner has abdicated this congressional right and responsibility and placed it on a golden tray at Obama’s feet. How is anyone, even any of the states, going to be able to sue when it is part of the law enacted by both houses of Congress and signed by the president? If you’re imagining Chief traitor Roberts is going to stop this, you are living in La La Land.
What Obama had absolutely no right to do before, Boehner has given him every right to do. It will sail through the Senate, Obama will sign it, and the only way to get rid of it will be to get another bill signed into law removing it. Good luck with that being done over the next two years.

Boehner in the House just used subterfuge to re-create a bill giving Obama the right to use executive amnesty for “humanitarian” reasons and passed it in the House by deceiving the other congressmen who thought it was still the original good bill. The only thing Obama needs to sign now is this bill after it’s passed by the Senate and voila, congressionally authorized executive amnesty.

Leadership has been keeping the omnibus secret until now and, still as of Sunday evening, hasn’t introduced it. “There’s going to be thousands of pages passed maybe Monday night in the House,” Sessions said.
*************
And Wall Street wants its piece of the pie in the omnibus bill. Huffpo title (below) is more appropriate though.

This is treason against the American people.
Mama always said, “the devil is in the details”.
ALWAYS read the fine print Congresscritters! Go on high alert anytime you hear the words “trust me”.
Boehner is beyond redemption. He is working for the other side and needs to be treated as such. His actions and background need to be investigated and whatever is found used to remove him from office.
When the Eff does recess start. Perhaps it can start early. Followed in January by a new house and senate and perhaps a leadership vote. Boner must fall. Pun intended.
I don’t get it.
I searched for multiple shortened versions of the title and got nothing before I posted.
I wanna know what they REALLY have on ‘ol Boner.
It can’t be just diddling sheep.
McCarthy destroyed the Calif Gop thru a Dem remapping plan to save his own gerrymandered district will do literally anything for power and money !
Bonehead is a drunk and a K Streets front man.
This crook has the the distinction of having the largest number of former aides running Lobbyists groups in the history of Congress !
The real question is why the Conservatives have not threatned to break away !
I searched for multiple shortened versions of the title and got nothing before I posted.
*******
don’t worry about it - this article needs a lot of attention.
Very true.
He has been conspiring with the Dems which is why the Dem media has never tried to destroy him like they did to Newt and Tom Delay !
The fact the utterly corrupt DC Dem media has protected this supposed Gop leader tells us he is a Dem trojan horse !
These underhanded sellouts are no better than Obama. The GOP governors and attorneys general who are bringing suit against Obama should add Boehner, McCarthy and Scaliose to their suit. This is NOT what Republican voters voted for.
if they were truly tricked and they still vote for boehner as leader, then they weren’t really tricked at all. If I was tricked, I will feel very offended by this. I could never support a leader who lied to me
He's got to have a mistress with some pics floating around somewhere, I'm convinced...
In the past, Subgroups have formed in Congress to vote as a block to control the agenda.
The house conservative need to vote as a block and thwart the drunk Bonehead and the very very corrupt McCarthy.
McCarthy is the most dangerous person to the conservatives in Congress !
He destroyed the Calif Gop forever when he sold them out.
