House Speaker John Boehner said Friday he has sued the Obama Administration in federal court over its decisions to make changes to the President's health care law, which congressional Republicans argue were unconstitutional.
The move was expected for months -- the GOP-controlled House of Representatives voted to approve the lawsuit in July. But Boehner had trouble retaining a law firm that would take the case because of the political furor over the controversial health care law.
"Time after time, the President has chosen to ignore the will of the American people and re-write federal law on his own without a vote of Congress. That's not the way our system of government was designed to work," Boehner said in statement on Friday.
He added, "if this President can get away with making his own laws, future presidents will have the ability to as well. The House has an obligation to stand up for the Constitution, and that is exactly why we are pursuing this course of action."

This is ENTIRELY BELIEVABLE, given the current fascist climate in DC.
ANY firm that takes this case not only faces the risk of loss of business through lib boycotts, and potential IRS and DOJ attacks against the partners, but must consider the possibility of violence against themselves and their families by "crazy liberals", and the Soros-funded groups.
IT WAS THIS WAY IN 1930's GERNAMY TOO, FOLKS.
I bet Mark Levin’s firm would have taken it.
Germany in the 1930’s too
Isn't Gernamy near Farnce, Ploand, and Russai?
Oooooo, can a letter with stern language be far behind?
The People’s House is under attack; each branch has its own Constitutional rules, and must protect them.
A lawsuit is just a way to ask the Judiciary if it wants to gang-up on the ‘Resident. It might, it might not. If it does, it will be awhile.
OTOH, the House has tools, if they just wouldn’t give them up and put them out of play.
Was it over when the Gernams bombed Pearl Harbor?
It is time to go Cloward-Piven on Obola.
Call and melt the phone lines.
Don’t moan about it here—let your reps know—especially the Dems—how you feel about EO Amnesty.
We heard from the Usurper in Chief last night.
Today, they need to hear from us.
Crappy spelling.
Sorry....
Damn iPhone.
And If Herr Obama ignores the first sternly worded letter, the GOPe in the House will follow up with a second such letter IN ALL CAPS!
I'm confused. I thought the Gernams bombed Minnie Pearl.
Ohhh ..... that’s brutal, John, brutal. I am sure Obama is running for cover.
Oh yeah, John, what is your reply to Obama’s granting amnesty to 5 million illegals last night? Seems you should have seen that coming.
The judges will rule against the house and then Boener will wonder why he didn’t take direct action
Defund
Impeach for all crimes
Congress -- especially now that the GOP will control both Houses -- has plenty of avenues to deal with ObamaCare without resorting to the Federal courts.
Congress has the legitimate authority to completely strip all funding from the Executive Branch of government, if they want to. This lawsuit is nothing more than a half-@ssed attempt by Republicans to deal with ObamaCare through the courts rather than do their 'effing jobs.
This case won't even get through one week in a Federal court.
I thought it was Pearl Bailey.
All I can say....about time. I guess he was tired of being shown up by the States.
I know it was not because he wanted to.
Ah, thanks for clearing that up.
Those bastards sank the USS Maine which brought us into WWI.
