re: #194 blueraven
I think it is an appeal to the base as you suggest, but also a way for Boehner to appease the t-party types in The House in lieu of the impeachment proceedings they seek.
He knows damn well that would be political suicide, but this “lawsuit” might quell their appetite, for a while at least.
Here’s a job to kill for —- to be a judge responding to the request from Boehner to hear this lawsuit, and having no restraint on the language to be used in officially rejecting the suit.
