Boehner’s lawsuit

Is this an attempt to discredit Obama and make him less credible when the announcement occur or is this an attempt to keep him from making changes before the pole shift. [and from another] http://time.com/2921512/barack-obama-john-boehner-republicans-lawsuit/  So far, the Republican-controlled House has passed two bills aimed at curbing executive orders by the President, neither of which have gone anywhere in the Democratic-controlled Senate. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi called the lawsuit “a subterfuge” and said Republicans in Congress are “doing nothing” and “they have to give some aura of activity.” While Boehner has yet to announce the details of the forthcoming lawsuit, House Republicans have strongly opposed numerous unilateral decisions made by the Obama Administration, including halting deportations of immigrants who were brought to the country as children, postponing provisions of the Affordable Care Act and raising the minimum wage for federal contractors. In a letter to House members Wednesday, Boehner said he intends to bring legislation to the floor in July to “compel” Obama to follow his oath of office. “I make of it as subterfuge,” Pelosi said of the new House Republican plan to sue Obama. “As I’ve said they are doing nothing here and so they have to give some aura of activity. “He hasn’t come anywhere near what Republican presidents have done on executive orders,” Pelosi added.

Outside of ignoring the 30 day notice required before releasing a Gitmo prisoner, Obama is not doing anything illegal, and the House Republican’s know this. In that the war in Afghanistan is officially ending in a year or so, those 5 Taliban detainees would have to be released as “prisoners of war” in any case. If the Congress is dissatisfied with the President, their legal recourse is impeachment, not law suits. The Bergdahl issue would not fly under that flag, nor has Obama done anything qualifying as impeachment material. The House is known for a failure to accomplish anything, the Republican’s being the party of “no”, trying only to stall Obama’s agendas, and not succeeding at that either.  

The Republican Party is dying, and seems unable to reverse the course of its disease. Like Fox News, which has an average viewer age of 72, its base is aging and dying off. The young are not being recruited, unless they are wealthy, among the 1%. With attitudes toward women stuck in the 1950’s, anti-feminist and anti-abortion, they do not attract women voters. Partnering with the NRA on gun rights while children are gunned down at school alienates yet more voters. Attitudes toward blacks are likewise akin to the 1950’s, pre civil rights days. The GOP knows that without attracting Hispanic voters, a growing block, they will begin to lose even more elections, yet cannot sell the necessary steps to their base.    

Instead of growing more moderate, and living up to their verbal claims that they are a big tent party, the GOP is moving in the opposite direction. The Tea Party emerged like a cancerous tumor on the face of the GOP, and lingers there, threatening to fracture the GOP base. Legislation in the House is aimed at thwarting Obama or promoting a GOP agenda. None of this becomes law even if it passes in the House as the Senate will not approve. Thus, Obama announced recently that he will govern via Executive Order, infuriating the GOP. Where is this leading, in the days after the presence of Nibiru is admitted? Obama has 2.5 years left in his second term. The tension between the GOP and Obama will if anything increase, but it will not matter. Obama will lead, and the GOP will fume.
