So, now that the crisis is over, what’s next? Defeating Obama on the issues instead?

Right, hmmm hmmm...

“And yet Republicans everywhere ask, “Who do we have to beat him?” In head-to-head matchups, Mr. Obama beats all of the Republican hopefuls in most polls.”

“And yet Republicans everywhere ask, “Who do we have to beat him?” In head-to-head matchups, Mr. Obama beats all of the Republican hopefuls in most polls.”

If we can't beat Obama on the issues, then it's because the electorate wants Obama, or someone with policies like him. What does it matter if we martyr one Obama administration on a legal technicality, and get another instead?

If our plan is to disqualify opponents based on technicalities rather than meet them in open competition, it's pretty much an admission that our ideas are inferior. Is that the case?
