The Yoho bill is not designed to block Obama's use of federal monies to carry out his unlawful amnesty. The Yoho bill is designed to dupe Republicans into thinking Boehner has attempted to block Obama's use of federal monies to carry out his unlawful amnesty.
It is designed to trick the Stupid American Voter.
As usual.
This has court implications as well. Boehner supposedly will sue the Administration over its power-grabs. However, Congress has the power itself to delimit executive overrreach -- through its power of the purse, of course.
The Supreme Court may very well decline to hear any kind of challenge to Obama's executive overreach on the theory that Congress has in fact implicitly blessed -- constructively "passed" -- Obama's executive laws by its tacit acceptance of them.
If Boehner really wants to prevail in his lawsuit, he has to show that Congress is in fact using all of its own power to block Obama's executive overreach, and this power is yet insufficient, thus necessitating the entry of the third co-equal branch into the dispute.
But Boehner is not doing that. Boehner is in fact showing he'll do absolutely nothing at all to stop Obama.
Given that, the Supreme Court will naturally take the position that they are not being called into a bona fide constitutional dispute, but rather a faked-up political con, and thus have no real justification for ruling on the matter.
Boehner can fool a few low-information conservatives but he can't fool Scalia and Thomas.
Yoyo is more like it.
I say we attack Obama on every front - fiscal, judicial and legislative. But, I guess geniuses like Ace know better. We should try one thing. If that doesn't work, we can say, "Oh well, we tried."
That is not how you win a war, Ace.
BUMP
I just read that “Obama never signed anything giving folks amnesty”. Jeh Johnson decided, on his own, after discussions with Obama, to add a rule to the federal registry to temporarily cancel the law. I have not heard this anywhere else. Does anyone else know about this? I wonder what the illegals and there supporters are going to say about this little fact, if true?
Hate
Republicans
Forever.
I don't know or care much about Ace.
But I DO know there are only TWO Constitutional methods to control a Lawless POTUS:
Cut off his money, and/or remove him from office.
That you suggest something else shows you need to do some reading.
And Ace shows he knows Jack when he thinks the USSC can manage a Lawless POTUS.
Just ask Andrew Jackson and the Cherokee Nation.

Stupid party continues to do stupid things. What it did is a big joke.
The oompah-loompah is cryin over his Jameson’s.
Interesting reference to the “trail of tears”. Lots of precedence for the Obama anarchy coming from the lawless Jackson. This is not war between conservatives and liberals, this is a war between elites and the masses. These elites are on a massive power grab unprecedented in American history.
Rand Paul's immigration speech...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.[Posted on 03/19/2013 7:04:07 AM PDT by Perdogg]
Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.
Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.
Let's start that conversation by acknowledging we aren't going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.
If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...
This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.
Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.
Rand Paul calls on conservatives to embrace immigration reformLatinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but "Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration." ...he would create a bipartisan panel to determine how many visas should be granted for workers already in the United States and those who might follow... [and the buried lead] "Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers...[Posted on 04/21/2013 1:52:42 PM PDT by SoConPubbie]
[but he's not in favor of amnesty, snicker, definition of is is]
