The House already has full Constitutional recourse.

There is no need for the legislative branch
to appeal to the judicial branch
to protest abuses of the executive branch.

The House has the power of the purse,
but they fear the scorn of the media.

This is much more responsible,” said King in regard to the lawsuit, adding that he would “absolutely not” support impeachment. “And no true conservative should, because that destabilizes the government.”

Words fail me. Printable words, that is.

It is a stunt.

Nothing more than a PR Symbolic gesture with no teeth.

Smoke and Mirrors.

Excellent way for them to be completely ineffective. Who was holding their breath on this one?

Impeachment is a fool’s errand, I’m sorry but it is.

We must NOT NOT NOT make this nincompoop a martyr. That is the one and only thing we could do that would make things worse.

Let History judge him a failure, which she will, but let us not make him a martyr or do anything else that will interfere with that judgment sure to come.

Damnable cowards shirking their sworn duty and trying to foist if off on others. I detest them.

It is rare to see so many run so fast from their duty. The republican “leaders” who we elected once again fold like a cheap deck of cards, their chubby faces stuffed with our money. Hang the lot of ‘em for gross dereliction of duty, extreme cowardice and negligent treason.

......................and................how long will this lawsuit take to even make it to court?

Fellow freepers are right.........It will take as long as it takes to elect more democrats after Obama leaves office...if he leaves.

I understand that once they Obamas) move into your neighborhood they don’t ever leave.

impeachment...destabilizes the government.

Take a look around pal (King), do you not see or even sense that forces are currently hard at work with an agenda that effectively destabilizes the government?

It appears the only thing stopping the current marxist, islamic anti-American who believes our Constitution is fundamentally flawed together with his embedded socialist cohorts, is a 5/4 USSC.

After impeachment in '98 the GOP lost seats.

Do we really want to follow the same path again?

My opinion is that impeachment will probably happen but not now. We need a few more scandals (and they will happen) and much greater public support for impeachment. I think Boehner is biding his time.

If he stays in much longer, there wont be a history to look back on.

Don’t be stupid, do both.

With the senate held by the democrat party, a thousand pinpricks will have more disruptive effect than doing only one thing at a time or nothing at all.

There are thousands of legitimate reasons to sue and you could submit one valid article of impeachment a day on the kenyan and never run out of fresh articles.

Pounding them with charges is better than what the GOP house is doing now; sucking their thumbs and pouting that “it won’t work anyway so why bother”.

I agree, yet with this twist.

Obama has committed high crimes against the constitution.

Dingy Harry would laugh his dementia-self silly if the House presented articles of impeachment.

There is no contradiction between the two.

So, I would better admire any rep who publicly stated that Obama committed high crimes, yet admitted there isn't the political will in congress to do anything about it.

Yes. Yes, America needed a useless gesture from the Republicans in the House about now. Many of the unwashed will feel they are doing something. Nothing too drastic, mind you. Republicans are nice people and certainly don't want a fuss. Most assuredly, no matter what their private feelings, they want to give the media absolutely no reason to call them racists, obstructive, or reactionary!

Go Boehner. Go sue the guy. It will make the GOPe safe-seat holders feel better. Hopefully, all of you splendid old fellows will get back to business as usual after the election. That is, you'll get back to dividing up the swag with wonderful Republican Reaches Across The Aisle to the people who control the government.

O yeah, The Death of The Republic? Yes, we must, must I say. take a look at that. Oprime número dos por español. Good-bye now. ¡Adiós!
