That assumes that the lawsuit is the only action Congress or the House will take - and I’m not sure.

Plus, remember, there’s another line of political resistance: the States, i.e., Republican (and maybe even a few Democrat) Governors and Attorneys General. One move may be for the States to simply not respect Obama’s fake work-permits for illegals. Then Obama’s Justice Department would have to sue to compel compliance, and I don’t think most courts would side with the feds on this one.

Obama could not succeed without Boehner.

Boehner stymies Republicans, he does not oppose Obama, and when Boehner does take an action it is to defend or to one-up Obama in advancing Obama’s agenda.

On July 2, 2013 when Obama announced the implementation date of PPACA mandates would be modified from January 1, 2014 to 2015, Boehner did not challenge Obama’s authority to modify an act of Congress, instead he was indignant that the change applied only to companies with more than fifty employees and not to smaller companies and to individuals (e.g., http://www.speaker.gov/video/boehner-unfair-delay-obamacare-mandate-businesses-while-leaving-families-hook). Boehner then sought a series of bills to delay PPACA mandates for smaller companies and individuals (e.g., http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/boehner-considering-bill-to-delay-obamacare-s-individual-mandate-for-a-year).

Boehner wants to sue Obama for modifying acts of Congress (PPACA).

He now he wants to go to court to halt Obama's "Executive amnesty"... a direct usurpation of Congressional authority.

To rein in a lawless Executive the proper action for Congress to take is impeachment, not to shove their duty off onto the Judiciary.

Boehner’s is incompent.

There is now a full scale assault upon the United States by a lawless and corrupt Executive led by Obama. While he might be sufferable in ordinary times Boehner is not the man for these times. He has no idea what is going on around him. He MUST go. He is the key impediment to the Republicans' ability to confront Obama.

As Mark Levin pointed out yesterday, the Congress -- our legislative branch, co-equal with the executive branch -- must defend itself against the unlawful actions of obama. The judicial branch may play a part, but it is not only unwise it is irresponsible for the legislative branch -- Congress -- to rely primarily on the judicial branch, rather than themselves, to defend the Constitution's separation of powers.

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.
