They're suing him for delaying the employer mandate. So, they're suing him for delaying something that they went to the SCOTUS to defeat? Makes perfect sense to me.

Well, yes and no. I guess I'd need to take a step back and understand the strategy here. I suspect the strategy is less about the failure to enforce the healthcare mandate and more about the president's selective enforcement, or lack of enforcement, of existing law. The President's unilateral action to effectively change the plain language of PPACA by failing to enforce the timetables that were in the text of the law was probably the most clear example they could find.

And I'd say the strategy is to do anything and everything to try to sabotage Obama in order to appease their rabid dog racist base that can't stand having a black President.

Two peas on a pod. You two need to get a room.

Well it's already been decided he can't decide for himself when to declare recess, so seems to me there's a good chance they'll find he can't rewrite laws either.

What's also funny is that within days of the President delaying the employer mandate, the House voted to do exactly the same thing. I suppose Boehner's pissed that the President actually succeeded in doing something that the GOP wanted.

What if Boehner wins the lawsuit? Will the delay that he championed and supported through the House vote be rescinded? That'll make him real popular with the business community.

As rudderless as Obama looks, the House makes him look like the paragon of virtue and efficiency.
