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."

...and what will we get out of the deal, what’s the lawsuit about? Obama’s failure to fully implement 0care. Great!
I would like to point out that filing a lawsuit is action not BS....That does not guarantee that the courts will rule against Obama but exactly what more can you ask of politicians. ?
Do you want them to hold their breaths until they turn blue
or maybe jump up and down and take their football and go home?
