House Speaker John Boehner could file a lawsuit against President Barack Obama in days, in an attempt to challenge the administration's heavy use of executive actions to further its agenda.

Roll Call's Daniel Newhause reports Boehner told House Republicans during a closed-door meeting on Tuesday he could have an announcement in the coming days on whether he will mount the legal challenge. According to the report, he has been "consulting with legal scholars" ahead of his next move.

Soon after filing the lawsuit Boehner will break down and cry like the incompetent bitch he is.

“If the gutless one actually does go through with this lawsuit it will take years to wend it’s way through the courts.”

It’s already unclear whether or not we even have a country any more. Who ever heard of a country with no borders? And Boner’s yelling “whiplash”.

I don’t believe the Constitution allows for the Congress to seek redress through the courts. It gives a specific remedy which Boner doesn’t want to use...

Boehner sues Obama so the court can 'rule' that EO's are extraconstitutional and in fact, a Presidential duty..... For the good of the serfs people. Got it.

Boehner is Speaker of the House. All he has done in 2 1/2 years as Speaker is to make deals with Obama. He's done nothing that I'm aware to stop Obama or reverse course. All I've heard is excuses that he only controls 1/2 of 1/3 of the govenment, so he can't do anything. The House was intended to be the leading chamber in the leading branch of government. The President shows up in Article 2 after the Congress in Article 1, the courts come in third in Article 3.

This is BS. Now he wants to go to the courts. why not focus on your ignored constitutional authority in Congress?

Newhause reports Boehner told House Republicans during a closed-door meeting on Tuesday he could have an announcement in the coming days on whether he will mount the legal challenge.

So he's announcing an announcement? Big deal.
