Cannot Impeach? Sue Obama?
 

Boehner plans to file suit against Obama over alleged abuse of executive power

I have no idea where this is going or if it is even possible. I thought the POTUS is immune from certain lawsuits and can only be impeached. Or is this an act of desperation due to OSD.

It'll fall flat on its ass. Just a way of the establishment to appease the 'Baggers after kicking their asses in the recent primaries.

Good point. See if Boehner actually does file a lawsuit or just blowing smoke.

Yep. Gotta agree with Ms. Pelosi.
"I make of it as subterfuge," she said. "They're doing nothing here. So they have to give some aura of activity."
Pelosi said the Republican caucus needs an "adult in that room." WaPo;)

May we live in interesting times.

First he has to prove there was abuse and that the President and C-in-C has had no authority to use the executive order.

Good luck.

Dave

No, first he has to prove he has standing to sue that defendant in that court for that reason. This won't make it out the gate. The Constitution provides the impeachment remedy and no other, and suits like this are routinely dismissed.

True. And the rightwing propaganda machine will use said dismissal as evidence of "liberal, pro-Obama bias" in the courts.

Dave

And their recently scorned base will eat it up with a spoon.

Increasing fundraising and voter turnout ;)

Can a rabid dog become more rabid?

I just read that the Congress can revoke a Presidential Executive Order by passing a bill by a veto proof majority. Good luck with that. So no wonder Ms. Pelosi said what she said. Childish behavior from certain mature adults.

Hmmm Finn, I don't think so. One can beat another in a fight though.

We should be thanking Obama. He's made it much easier for the next Imperial Republican President ;)

Pete

That would be the work of the Gee Dubya and his merry band of neo convicts that paved the way. ;)

Presenting Queen Hillary. :D

EDIT: Picture will be photoshopped before her coronation.

It's funny how the GOP is now complaining about Obama issuing "signing statements" and then acting upon them after Dubya easily smashed the record for doing so. Dubya issued 161 signing statements affecting over 1,100 provisions of law in 160 Congressional enactments. In comparison, from his inauguration through April 18, 2014, President Obama has issued 27 signing statements affecting 97 specified provisions.

W was white, and the realization that it may become an impossibility to ever elect another Republican president is starting to dawn on Boehner and the others. There is not one viable candidate for 2016 except for Bush. And he may be too moderate to nominate.

LMAO!!

Pete

I was reading one of George Will's flights of fancy recently where he was calling for judicial action to curb Obama's excesses. It brought up a mental image of Will happily sawing off one of the legs on the proverbial three legged milking stool.
It's like these merry bands of neocons had electro shock therapy in November '08 which wiped their memory.

Only in Washington.

Adult in the caucus - Ha!

According to Webster's adult - a meaning one and dolt meaning a dull fellow so I guess with Bonehead they have it made.

What? Blightfart, not Alex Jones? Mebbe Jerome Corsi can produce another bound bundle of asswipe for Alex on this.

Bush generated more signing statements than all previous residents of the Oval Office, combined. The honor of the development of the concept of the Imperial Presidency is all Bush's (well OK, all Cheney's, since it was all Bush could accomplish to sit up and feed himself three times a day).

I thought the Right were against Frivolous Lawsuits?

You should go read that an executive order can just be tosed in the trash with the next President.

Maybe that's what the GOP is pissed about. Due to demographics, they may not be able to elect a President in the foreseeable future.

You are living in a fantasy world if you think this country will vote in another Dem for President in 2016.

What do you base that prediction on -5? Divining chicken entrails?

You're living in a fantasy world if you think today's GOP will appeal to blacks, Hispanics, gays, youth, women ... In politics, demographics is destiny.

You're in the minority, 4-2-7. Get used to it.

But there's a BLACK MAN in the White House!

Something has to be done about that!

I see it like this:

Boehner wants to sue Obama for not enforcing laws but at the same time his party has refused to work with the President and shut down the government.


Besides actual law enforcement is one of the checks and balances. No executive enforces all laws.

When was the last time an incumbent party regained the White House after 8 years? Let alone after this president failed policies and failed to get us out of this depression.

Would of been Clinton Gore if not for some hanging chads, you know the old saying,

Barney

I think you mean a woman or another Negro Dem.

The GOP has won a single popular Presidential vote since 1992, 5 below. And it didn't much matter who was running against who, or how the previous occupant behaved. Even a hero of yours like Limbaugh was so distraught after the '98 vote that he came out and admitted that the country has changed. He's too stupid to suggest that his side needs to do something besides change the GOP to the TeaBag Party...but even he knows it's a new game.

We were never in a depression you idiot.

As usual this post makes no sense but that's not the point is it? Just post count?

You have the credibility of a dripping faucet yet venture to challenge a respected member's opinion?

You never answer yet throw questions out here. WTF you moran. Why don't you look it up yourself. Here let me try and help.

Launch Google and they type "consecutive US presidents from the same party since year 19xx" and see what you get. Note that you will need to enter numbers in 19xx. Google is not that smart. Come back and post "Barney, you are right" :rolleyes:

There you go again challenging Finn. You should be watching cartoons and not foray into adult conversations. ;)

And to think that I took him off my ignore list to answer his idiotic drivel. He's back on ignore.
