Boehner's proposed anti-Obama suit: Why a narrow focus on one Obamacare part?

House Speaker John Boehner on Thursday released details of his highly anticipated proposed lawsuit against President Obama. It turns out that he wants to take the president to court not on broad grounds of thwarting Congress on many issues, but on the narrow point that Mr. Obama delayed the employer mandate of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
That’s right. Speaker Boehner wants to sue Obama for not quickly requiring that medium and large US businesses offer health insurance to their employees, as called for under Obamacare. The president, on his own authority, put off enforcing this provision until 2015.
The House itself voted last year to delay the employer mandate, though the Senate never took that legislation up.
oop's did they forget it was their idea first?  so now we see the hurry up hypocrisy the republicans are known for if they think they can twist it and know their base will except it they rush to Fox to spread the news/fallacy and regardless to it being debunked usually on the spot they continue on script they all repeat verbatim what wasn't true and less than half of America runs to the trough and a feeding frenzy. 
But that’s not the point, Boehner said. He said Thursday that such a specific aspect of a law is something Congress, not the president, gets to decide.
“I get to look at the Constitution once in a while. The Constitution makes it clear that Congress writes the law, and the president takes the oath of office to faithfully discharge the laws that are on the books,” Boehner said.

so we are to dismiss the do nothing and fact that it was originally their baby but refusal to do anything that helps the Pres. by default does nothing to help "we the people" and if was their choice 6 years ago and still.
suing him for doing his job and theirs another "they were for it before they were against it" is a staple in that party termite ridden platform, look for a cave in Nov. 4th.
