House is really going to sue Obama

[tinydancer]

Really interesting article regarding the lawsuit and why it is a brilliant strategy.

Here's the crux of why the lawsuit is better than impeachment. Really interesting piece. Rest at link.

It makes no sense to demand the drastic step of impeachment, which is highly unlikely to succeed. Furthermore, a Supreme Court precedent would be binding on future presidents. Impeaching one president would not prevent the next president from the same violation.

What price do you put on the adherence to the rule of law?

None, obviously.

Here's the deal; this will keep the hard core conservatives wetting themselves, and that seems to be all conservatives are interested in. The problem is that the majority of Americans are going to see this for what it is, a political witch hunt. At the rate things are going, Dems are going to make inroads in the House in November. No, they are not going to even come close to taking it back, but they may well set the table to do so in 2016. The more I see things develop, the more I believe Dems are going to have a clean sweep in 2016.

None, obviously.

If the rule of law was obeyed by Congress, Bush II wuld have been imprisoned, not just impeached. Maybe Obama got bad "intel", that is how Bush slithered out of 2 trillion spent looking for weapons that did not exist, and impeachment: "I thought he had them, gosh, lemme look under the table, HAHAHAHA!". he joked about the deaths of 4,764 Americans, LAUGHED IT OFF.

And the far left is making assumptions not based on facts.

Obama violates the War Power Act with his illegal war in Libya, but the far left will ignore it.

Any more far left lies you wish to promote?

While these assholes want to cut science, infrastructure and r&d investment to the bone. **** you republicans!

They'd take it back big time if they'd stick to science, infrastructure, r&d, education and minimum wage. Just focus on those and win.

WOW!

The far left wants to dismantle all these things yet the far left claims it is the (R)'s that do this. Amazing the misdirection from the far left.

Well make sure the far left does not win by sending all the assets need for your wants over seas. So in other words, do not vote far left and you may have a better chance to get what you want.

No, unlike you, most of us don't live shrouded in a cocoon of massive retardation.

So... when will the senate and house actually do their jobs?

Spending is still out of control.
Domestic economy is still bad.
We have issues that still need solving and have needed solving for years.


Yet Abortion, Gay Rights, Birth Control, and Political faction disputes that include empty lawsuits against the president that will yield nothing buy wasted tax dollars and no results easily trump everything else.




November is coming up. Flush everyone out of the house and senate.
Dems. Pubs. They all gotta go.

Democrats killed space exploration and turned NASA into the Muslim Feeel-good Directive. Ever since the 1960s, Democrats have been trying to kill space exploration, preferring the money be spent on Earthly social welfare schemes.

GOP-led House authorizes lawsuit against Obama - CNN.com

I cannot believe these frigin idiots are really going to do this. Rather than do the job their constituents sent them to the House to do, they decide to waste my tax money with this crap. What a bunch of Buffoons!

The independent voters are going to take note of lunacy in Congress.

did you really think the psychos wouldn't sue the president for not implementing quickly enough the law that they hate.

such butters.

So just to be clear, if we have a republican President and he decides to arbitrarily change laws he has no authority to do so with, you won't mind, right?

Just to be clear: President Obama did not arbitrarily change any laws, consequently this fails as a straw man fallacy.

They are doing what their constituents sent them to do,thats the problem with the tolerant left,they aren't, and it wads them up when people say no to them.

What can be done about a lawless president?

Sue his ass.

It works the same way in the private sector.

Obama is basically operating above the law, so the best thing to do is do what he did to Sarah Palin. Sue the **** out of him.

Obviously he didn't, given the fact republicans failed to win conviction in the Senate.

One of the fundamental tenets of the rule of law is the presumption of innocence, a tenet most conservatives are clearly in contempt of.

Nervous much? It's about to be played out. We'll see where the chips fall.

Yeah, we've seen where all the other House chips have fallen. Just another NaziCon witch hunt. Happy hunting...

Like Clinton's impeachment? Shirley he didn't deserve that!

He changed his own ACA over 23 times.

Dude, get a grip.

Suing him doesn't go far enough for me

But I hope he get's the message, WE THE PEOPLE are done with you stepping on US and the rules and laws of the country

What "rule of law"? It's nothing but a rightwing buffoon war on a black president.

The president is correct, this is a political stunt on Boehner's part, the 'lawsuit' is completely devoid of merit:

“The very fact that Boehner is willing to say the House of Representatives is injured by the President’s decision to delay the implementation of the employer mandate is bizarre in itself, given how often the House has voted not just to delay it but to scuttle it,” Tribe told me via e-mail last night. “And it’s hard to imagine what conceivable remedy a federal court could possibly issue: an order directing the President to reverse course and implement the employer mandate sooner? Hardly!”

This gets to the issue of standing that Tribe was talking about last week. If Congress passes the bill authorizing a suit against Obama, Tribe is convinced “the court will realize that the suit has to be tossed out for 3 independently fatal reasons.” The president’s action did not harm the House as an institution. None of his actions is an abuse of power. And the judicial branch has repeatedly refused to get involved in political fights between the legislative and executive branches.

This is a 'lawsuit' devoid of merit and chips.
