Reach back to this time last year, when House Republicans voted unanimously to move ahead with John Boehner's lawsuit against the administration for "overreach."
Originally it was supposed to attack the Administration for Obama's immigration orders, but it morphed into a different animal altogether when Boehner got tired of holding Obamacare repeal votes and decided to sue over the Affordable Care Act instead.
Fast forward to 2015. There's a Clown Car Parade rumbling down the road with Jeb Bush and Donald Trump fighting for the steering wheel, the Supreme Court has dashed the best and brightest hopes for killing the Affordable Care Act via the ridiculous King v. Burwell case, and the President has (rightly) declared the right to health care "woven into the fabric of America."
Not so fast, there. That lawsuit was on hold, but Boehner has revived it, in the spirit of Charles Murray's call to kill the federal government (of which he is a part) by blanketing it with lawsuits. Lawsuits over regulations, lawsuits over everything. If it breathes or is in writing, take the damn thing to court.
So here we are once again.
The Obama administration and House Republicans are clashing over the healthcare law in court, with the Justice Department blasting a GOP lawsuit as "unprecedented."
House Republicans are suing President Obama over what they call executive overreach, saying Obama is unconstitutionally spending money on an ObamaCare program Congress declined to appropriate money for.
The Obama administration counters it does not need an appropriation because the funds were made permanent and mandatory by the Affordable Care Act. The funds in question are for “cost-sharing reductions” that help insurers lower out-of-pocket costs for low-income people.
The lawsuit raises questions about the separation of powers, with the administration accusing the House of trying to bring the courts into a political dispute between two other branches.
Both sides filed new arguments to the court on Wednesday night that address the underlying facts of the case.
The U.S. district court judge is still determining whether the House has the legal standing to bring the case.the lawless congress, are they suing for what they are doing now overreaching. the scotus validated twice the ACA as law of the land all the land and here we have out of ammo republican congress still trying to deny you affordable healthcare, still no plan of their own but coming to the table with nothing but malice of forethought toward we the people or has the 60 repeal attempts been the straw that broke their minds and now they are still fighting a war they've loss on numerous fronts numerous times, and they want to be your leaders just don't get sick on their watch if you do die early.
