Maybe the third lawyer's the charm. House Republicans have hired legal scholar and tv personality Jonathan Turley to represent them in their flagging lawsuit against President Obama over "executive overreach" for doing something they wanted to do—delay the employer mandate in Obamacare. Presumably this had something to do with the hiring.
National Review on Monday flagged comments by Turley on Fox News where he said that if Obama takes executive action on immigration reform it would "tear at the very fabric of the Constitution."
That's the kind of Fox News soundbite the GOP needs to turn this turkey of a lawsuit—which has yet to be filed and two lawyers have already dropped—into the kind of public relations fodder they're looking for. Because in terms of the actual lawyering part, House Democrats have nailed it.
"Even for $500-per-hour in taxpayer dollars, Speaker Boehner has had to scour Washington to find a lawyer willing to file this meritless lawsuit against the president," said Drew Hammill, a spokesperson for Minority Leader Pelosi. "Now, he's hired a TV personality for this latest episode of his distraction and dysfunction."if you want a understanding of why this asinine effort continues after two other wasted retainers and your tax dollars what are they doing trying to tie their ObamaCares repeal record 55 times trying to sue for their hurt feelings they have spent millions to debase this Pres. and like their homespun scandals they are archived you don't hear them anymore but don't panic some whack a mole will pop up and Benghazi and IRS and NSA and he overreached with exec action for immigration when their hero twice removed Reagan did it both Bush's but somehow when the Black Pres. does it the halls of congress are ablaze with republican hair on fire or simply hypocrisy.
Fox must have been losing their Svengahli grip on their base and need more red meat to stir up the radical inclinations of those they have nurtured and concentrated on. G W Bush, " you can fool some of the people all of the time and those are the ones you want to concentrate on". with all their rhetoric about working with Pres. the speak is always he needs to come to "THEM" and work with "THEM" "THEM" are the same bastards that have denied him and by proxy you for 6 years and proclaimed proudly that intent before he even took office, they told us and still here we are with "THEM" saying he needs to work with "THEM"............... you can fill in the blank you know I don't like to use profanity on this blog
