This is just as hollow as an impeachment effort would ultimately be, but it allows the House of Representatives to appear to be doing *something*, while avoiding the strife that an impeachment vote would bring. It's all meaningless.
Yup. Pedestrian Parliamentary Move. Boehner's staff has been busy. This is a true crisis. Why the GOP might take the House and Senate, giving them vast governmental responsibilities!
Bad. That will take time away from the GOPe's true work of protecting their "clients" from government agencies. Might even force them to possibly, potentially, maybe perhaps looking at or ... god forbid ... confronting one, could be even two, of the structural constitutional issues that are strangling the Republic.
A Republican majority makes more work for the Democrats, too. They have to figure out better ways to blackmail the GOP into doing what they want. But, having you-know-who in the WH, means they still control the swag.
Now, if only we could get more of "our" people off the couch and to the polls....
