What the hell for I hear you screaming as you scratch your head in confusion and disgust! Well you’re not alone. I had the very same reaction after I heard this news and now after reading the full account of Boehner’s intended lawsuit, I am still confused… and disgusted at the utter partisan nonsense these people are intentionally dragging this country through.
Boehner plans to sue Obama because Obama is acting like a president, and is doing the exact same thing other presidents before him have done. Boehner’s beef? He claims Obama is using Executive actions and so, must be sued… because… FREEDOM!
“I am,” the Speaker said when asked if he was planning to initiate a lawsuit.
“You know the constitution makes it clear that the president’s job is to faithfully execute the laws and in my view the President has not faithfully executed the laws,” Boehner added at a news conference on Capitol Hill.
The Speaker denied that the move was about energizing Republicans ahead the midterm elections.
“This is about defending the institution in which we serve. If you look back over the past 235 years of our history there’s been movement between the inherent powers of the executive branch vs the inherent powers of the legislative branch and what we’ve seen clearly over the past 5 years is an effort to erode the power of the legislative branch,” the Speaker said in response to a question from CNN.
Yea, sue the president for being presidential. Only the mush of a Republican brain can come up with this… mush!
