I’d pay them to just go home and never come back.
This is the ideal situation for Paul Ryan. Someone else takes the initiative and he immediately falls into place right behind them, taking credit for it as much as possible, but none of the responsibility. It’s called Leading from Behind, and he is very good at it. Which is why the voters in his home district send him back to Congress with 70+% margins.

It was in defense of this foundational principle that the House, under the leadership of former speaker John Boehner, voted in 2014 to challenge the constitutionality of spending by the Obama administration that was never approved by Congress.

But they couldn’t be bothered to stop DACA in 2012 when they should have sued to stop it.
CANTORIZE YOUR WEASELS, AMERICA!
this is a good thing, no ?
Meanwhile, the Senate RINOs will continue to vote thumbs down to what the House and President Trump want to do.
When's Obama going to jail? He broke the law as President, when will he be held accountable?
“Today’s decision by the Trump administration to end the appeal of that ruling
preserves a monumental affirmation of Congress’s authority
and the separation of powers.
Obamacare has proven itself to be a fatally flawed law,
and the House will continue to work with Trump administration
to provide the American people a better system.”

It sounds to me like the speaker approves.
Why all the angst?
Ocare was ruled a TAX by the SCOTUS All tax bills must ORIGINATE in the HOUSE. Since Ocare originated in the Senate, the law is unconstitutional. Something SCOTUS omitted; time for another appeal.
The Origination Clause, sometimes called the Revenue Clause, is part of the United States Constitution. This clause says that all bills for raising revenue must start in the House of Representatives, but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as in the case of other bills
what a credit seeking, toadying, “liddle” hypocrite you are ryan. you, cantor and boehner could have constitutionally defunded obamacare anytime after 2010.
What’s the problem? This is what we want!
You owe us 8 year of back pay for non job performance then!
Nobody will ever accuse Ryan for NOT being a RINO opportunist.
Though Congress could have “fixed” ObamaCare from day one, it took a LEADER to make it happen. That is what President Trump has done and will do FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, something RINOs like Ryan and Old McDonald refuse to do.
What’s your complaint? I despise Ryan (and McConnell), but it looks like he’s backing Trump’s decision here, no?
No, the congress abdicated its power of the purse during the Obama administration.
