House Republicans vote to sue Obama over healthcare law

Edit: There is another thread on this topic in Current Events.

This will backfire. I believe they did it just because he is black. Same reason they defaulted on the debt in 2011. This a way for Speaker to give a nod and a wink to the Goehmerts and Bachmans and Steve Kings (Iowa Rep) of his party. I mean what else could it be...suing him for not enforcing a provision they do not like anyway? They could have made it over immigration, but they know that they would come off looking really nativist doing that. In fact I believe deep down the ACA provision is just cover. Luckily Americans are smarter than Boehner, who is channeling Pete Wilson on a national level. When we go the next 10-15 years without a Republican president because Latinos and other minorities see them as people who do not like them and vote accordingly we may come to look back and remember this day.


And you never know....if the GOP had just presented a bill to repeal only the employer mandate and nothing else.....it might have made it...that part of the law is unpopular among a wide group of people.

The GOP has no desire or capacity to govern (the Dems have the desire, but still no capacity). This is nothing other than an attempt to fire up their base for the midterms. Their base is to feckin' stupid to understand that the suit is designed to compel an employer mandate, something they oppose (for God knows what reason. Their base is comprised of blue collar folks dependent on employer health care).

From PBS.

"Five House Republicans defected from their ranks on the Wednesday vote to authorize the party's lawsuit against President Obama.

Reps. Paul Broun (Ga.), Scott Garrett (N.J.), Walter Jones (N.C.), Thomas Massie (Ky.) and Steve Stockman (Texas) all voted against the resolution authorizing the GOP lawsuit against the president for his use of executive power.

Broun, Stockman and Jones have all indicated support for impeaching President Obama. Jones told The Hill he didn't think the lawsuit went far enough."

Half measures are NFG. Impeach Obama. ;)

Here is what the GOP really wants. I guess this is another way to raise some money before they go on break. Of course it will not pass and is not a solution but another grab at money before the election.

Every tax dollar spent on this is the same as giving two dollars to Hillary's PAC :).

Sue for what? Civil lawsuits have to show some sort of injury to the plaintiff. Not to some third party. Where's Boehner's injury? The only injury Boehner can show is to his reputation...which wasn't much to begin with, even amongst his own.

Impeach him for, what?

It was meant to be sarcastic. :)

For all of Obama's faults (ineptness being on the top IMO), he is a decent guy and a majority of Americans accept this. So any talk of Obama impeachment makes the GOP cringe.
