Breaking News: U.S. House Panel Votes to Authorize Lawsuit Against President Obama

"Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday took another step toward authorizing a lawsuit against President Barack Obama, claiming he has overstepped his executive powers in carrying out his landmark healthcare reform law."

"In a partisan vote of 7-4, the House Rules Committee approved the legislation, likely setting it up for consideration by the full House next week. The Republican initiative already has spawned a bitter debate with Democrats less than four months before mid-term elections that will determine the political control of Congress next year."

The best "lawsuit" would be a veto-proof majority in the House and Senate.

I think it's a virtuous and appropriate action considering the lawlessness being played out under the protection of a disgusting new version of something old that we now call "Political Correctness", which itself is the very antithesis of the American idea. Use the law to bring back law. A nation of laws - not men.

I want a court to say something.

They get let off easy.

Even if it doesn't go anywhere. It will be recorded that they chose to look the other way out of fear.

This is my hot button issue with tenured judiciary (which also goes for tenured faculty) -- they are practically the only people in our society with a sinecure intended to shield them from political retribution. Those who ignore that role and see their "job" as a cool lifetime gig shame their profession(s).

They should impeach him.

Miss Sarah is right on that, but one supposes this is better than acting like Chuckie Schumer's "Republicans".
