More turmoil for House GOP lawsuit against Obama
snip//
Attorney Bill Burck and the Quinn Emanuel firm dropped the case in recent weeks, according to two sources familiar with the situation. Last month, the lawyer originally hired to pursue the case, David Rivkin of Baker Hostetler, made a similar abrupt exit.

“The litigation remains on track, but we are examining the possibility of forgoing outside counsel and handling the litigation directly through the House, rather than through law firms that are susceptible to political pressure from wealthy, Democratic-leaning clients,” Smith said.
Boehner’s office also suggested the suit, which planned to challenge Obama’s failure to implement aspects of his health care reform law, could be broadened if Obama goes forward, as promised, with plans for executive action on immigration.
“We are also closely following what the administration does on executive amnesty, and the possible impact that could have on the litigation strategy,” Smith said.
There's more from Boehner(Blah Blah Blah Blah)

Like those old cartoons drawn of millionaires after they lost all their money and even lost the shirt off their backs in the Great Depression in the late 20s and early 30s, and so then they wound up so broke that they had to wear a barrel supported by suspenders to keep from being naked!!!

Our three weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency . . . and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope . . . Our four . . . no . . . amongst our weapons . . . amongst our weaponry . . . are such elements as fear, surprise . . . . I'll come in again.
He hates it when he is unable to screw the tax payers once again on frivolous law suits and repealing Obamacare 40 plus times. Wake up America! We are the ones paying for all this CRAP!
Are you really going to sit home and NOT VOTE IN 2014??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? REALLY? If that is so, I am ashamed of you.
Cha~
just retire that useless Koch Tool.
their way and McCain or Mitt had won.. what a desperate further dive into the abyss we would be right now?! 
madokie
we have to do this or we will loose what semblance of a democracy we have left
I've been saying this since my day one here at DU. We have to get the news media out of the pockets of the rich and connected, we have to do this. I keep repeating myself as in my view nothing else good can happen until this is done.
can't everybody!? I was hoping the Occupy Movement would Occupy the Media..
The closest we got was for Michael Brown at Cnn in Atlanta!

Which makes me happier than a Muslim terrorist that has died and met up with 72 virgins in Heaven.
Oops, that is only slightly more PC than Boehner ever is. 
if my point isn't clear.
in Congress. If they want to sue let them do it themselves.
Since when?
people are so disgusted with the whole process? We keep hearing reports about how young folks are tuning out, but then they moan about the draconian backward assed laws passed by these extreme right-wing legislatures? It makes no sense to me. 
Poll: 58 percent dislike N.C. gay marriage rulings

Republicans hope to tap into that disquiet at the polls next week. The National Organization for Marriage spent $117,000 on mailers distributed Monday that oppose Democratic U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan and support her Republican challenger, N.C. House Speaker Thom Tillis.
“Anger is often a fairly good motivating factor,” said Andy Taylor, a political science professor at N.C. State. “If it is to have an effect, then I would suspect, at least in this very short term here, that in the 2014 election it would be positive for the Republicans.”
Taylor said voters most motivated by the marriage issue might well be voting anyway. But he saw Tillis as the most obvious beneficiary of any turnout boost from the change in the law.

I was proud of my state for a brief time, and now it seems we're reversing course. I thought the wedge issues were a thing of the past.
