With Obamas executive amnesty imminent, anonymous White House aides are cockily dismissing John Boehners threatened lawsuit against it as a stunt. Even among opponents of executive amnesty and Im with them theres a tendency to pooh pooh the suit. Its a loser, it will take forever to decide, its an attempt to redirect Republican rage away from budgetary remedies like denying funding, etc.
Not so fast. Im all for giving defunding a try also holding up appointments but dont sell the lawsuit short. Ill even go so far as to lay down an Yglesias style marker: If Obamas executive action is as broad as described, the Supreme Court will strike it down.

You’ve been ahead of the curve for quite a while now.
I’ve been trying to do what I could. Thanks.
Great book, Matt!
I would encourage all Freepers to get the trilogy on Kindle.
These are well written and thought provoking.
And becoming prophetic as well.
This is as serious as it gets, folks. This is direct attack not only on Congress, but on the very fabric of the U.S. Constitution. It must be stopped, corrected and, if obama attempts something similar again (which he no doubt will), severely punished.
I'm not so sure the members and leaders in Congress understand this is not simply a matter of policy or legislative differences, it is truly a matter of defending the Constitution and the American republic from an executive determined to destroy it.
I have a not so legal reason why the Court may strike this down. Congress today, SCOTUS next?
What is to stop him or the next person to say “I disagree with the ruling of SCOTUS. They have no power to enforce their ruling. I will not abide by it.”
They are not stupid.
I was hoping that your novels were just good fiction but we may well see that fiction become reality very soon.
Yep.
BTTT
All potential approaches need to go forward simultaneously to nullify and eliminate this executive action including law suites, congressional actions and Constitutional amendment action. Make it only a note for history supporting how ‘We the People’ are in control, not some want to be dictator.
