I'm agnostic on this strategy. If it works, I'm all for it.
But I have my doubts.
‘So sue me.’
If not Barry, then who?
The self-EXEMPT should actually read the Constitution upon
which they micturate, daily.
It says exactly what they can do.
The juvenile RATs pulled their usual stunt earlier today..had all the reps march down & try to bring up minimum wage, student loan forgiveness bills. They all had their little scripts in hand & all admonished the GOP for attacking POTUS.
Watch at your own risk.
might this lawsuit open the door to RICO lawsuits against insurance companies at the state jurisdiction level (as can be done, see Tafflin v. Levitt)?
Boehner sounds like he’s had a few.
Levin’s up now.
Since impeachment seems out of the question with the current rat Senate, a lawsuit seems like the only option. But I’m curious what remedy they are going to ask the court to implement.
I wish they could ask for authority over immigration to be removed from the president, but that would be a violation of separation of powers.
But the court can order members of the executive to perform certain acts and hold them in contempt if they don’t. That seems like the best option.

Lawsuit's a gimmick. It's just not fast-moving enough to accomplish anything in a timely manner. Besides that, where are we if some judge says the HOR can't stop Obama? The HOR runs the risk of turning the power of the purse (which they haven't used) over to the courts.
They should choose something extreme like I suggested. Something that anyone who's up for election can't refuse to vote for. JMHO
Bush’s fault. Bush did it! They waste money....LOL
Aren’t they suing over Obama’s refusal to enforce the employer mandate? If they win, that provision gets put back in. That’s bad isn’t it?
I think the lawsuit is silly. I agree with Levin. A judge will say, “why do you want me to solve this problem for you? You have tools at your disposal to bring him to heel.”
They should have impeached this POS a LONG time ago.....
This is like Bohners way of closing the barn door after the horses have gotten out and died of old age..
What a joke!! A US House leadership that will not even use the Constitutional given tools of the power of the purse over this imperial pResident and they want to waste time with a law suit. The US House will find the judicial will tell them they do not have standing.
Are you kidding me?

We have got to do something—to save our phoney baloney jobs!
theater. Vichy Repubs won’t use their powers so they go to the courts...when a judge throws it out what then more ineptitude!
Final vote: 225 to 201.
Sure doesn’t feel like much of a victory.

House GOP: All Farce, All The Time.
Impeachment is the remedy not this. HOWEVER now that it has been put forward it needs to succeed. Putting forward a half-ass plan like this and then having it fail would be even more pathetic
