The Boehner lawsuit against President Obama is falling flat. The reason has everything to do with politics. A lawsuit conceived on a partisan political basis is coming out looking like exactly that -- partisan, and mean. It is no wonder that Democrats have raised millions of dollars after the Boehner lawsuit was announced.
As I have said here before, sadly, there has indeed been an abuse of Presidential power -- think drones, and the targeted killing of an American. As bad as all this is, it doesn't compare to the G. W. Bush Iraq War fiasco, and other such heinous abuses of Presidential power.
But these are not Boehner's interest. He wants to defeat a Democratic President, and thus appease his party's far-right base. Pathetic.
