I am now convinced he is here posting for post count only and to broadcast talking points. Quite possible that this post (Ike's signature ) by 4-2-7 "Discourse I don't want discourse" was a Freudian slip.

It's like these merry bands of neocons had electro shock therapy in November '08 which wiped their memory.
Still Reading GW? Hell he lapsed into senility a year ago.

I took them both off my ignore list just for comic relief.

The funniest thing for me about this quote from 5 below is in the full quote...

5 below is confused all right...as he firmly let's me know that what he wants is what he doesn't want.

There is also a separation of powers issue here. If Boehner wants to stop Obama from enforcing a law he can have Congress vote on specific legislation to do just that...but he cannot get his way because of the way our Democracy works....he would need veto proof majorities in both Houses.

Conversely if he lost the case it would codify Obama's supposed abuse of power, and thus strengthen Presidential power at the expense of the Congress.

Boehner is just throwing red-meat because of the fringe of the Republican minority in control of the Southern and Western US does not like having a black President.

I doubt if he actually files a suit.

I think Boehner is worse than the Tea Party because he is a moderate afraid to stand up to them. It seems like when he talks even he knows what he is saying is total bullshit.

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.
I heard that freedom fighters are leaving all their countries and heading to Iraq to fight with ISIS. What are you still doing here?
