Obama Sued: House Authorizes Lawsuit Against President With 225-201 Vote

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Argentina defaults; Russia, Ukraine, Libya, Israel, Gaza, Iraq all in a state of (hot or otherwise) war, the worst Ebola epidemic in the history of Africa, and now Obama is getting sued.

And from Reuters:

The Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday cleared the way for the launch of a lawsuit accusing President Barack Obama of overstepping his authority in carrying out his landmark healthcare reform law.

 

The 225-201 vote, along party lines, to authorize the suit will allow House lawyers to draft legal documents over a five-week summer recess starting on Friday.

 

It cements the action as a lightning rod for months of bitter campaign rhetoric from both Republicans and Democrats ahead of November elections that will determine the political control of Congress next year.

 

The suit is expected to claim that Obama exceeded his executive authority in making unilateral changes to the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare.

And then this:

If this doesn't send the S&P to new record highs tomorrow, the Fed better find another market to rig.

Incidentally, for those confused, this is nothing but more theater. If the GOP, i.e., the orange folding lawnchair, really wanted to go after Obama, they would have impeached.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the bowels of the Kremlin, Putin is cackling like a madman.

"Incidentally, for those confused, this is nothing but more theater. If the GOP, i.e. the orange folding-chair, really wanted to go after Obama, they would have impeached."

 

 Why go for impeachment when they know they don't have enough votes in the house let alone in the Senate for conviction? 

 They obviously have some concerns that an impeachment proceeding prior to midterms will rally the troops of the FSA. 

 I predict a lackluster gain of seats for redteam/blueteam in midterm elections. Still not enough votes for conviction in Senate.

This is why the USA has three branches of government and separation of power. If one branch over steps it's authority it can be taken to court for breaching its range of power.

In this case the Legislature branch is taking the executive branch to task over its excessive and over-extended use of "executive orders" (to bypass creation of new laws by the legislature and/or changing existing laws already passed by the legislature. The President cannot use executive orders to change a law passed by the Legislature.)

So far the President has lost in these cases. (Ex: The Courts found that the President's so-called recess appointments of three people to the NLRB board, were null and void. The Court also said that the President cannot determine when the legislature is in recess; only the Legislature can do so.)

A smart lawyer never asks a question to which he doesn't know the answer. A stupid Boehner should know this will be heard in the DC district court and reviewed by new Circuit Appeals Court judges appointed, when Reid ended the filibuster. If the DC Circuit Appeals court rules against Boehner and the Supreme Court declines the case, Boehner loses. This is just political theater by establishment stooges.

This is all by design... to quickly make as many changes (that align with BO's special interest groups and $ angels) and create as many diversions as possible so as to minimize the opponents abiilty to counter.  IMO The Machine pretty well has all this stuff planned out - mind you, not getting caught red handed with some of them, but all the scandals pre-planned, well executed and deployment of Alinski tactics on the detractors, whistleblowers and opponents.  

BO, the lovely Michelle and Val Jarrett are probably lounging around the WH about now checking off their To-Do List the "Get GOP to file impeachment proceedings (or intention to sue)" action item.

Get impeached? HA! Would only sink anyone who supported it.

Congress took an oath to protect the law. The oath didn't say, "Do these things unless your reelection is in jeopardy."

 

Congressional Oathof Office:

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God."

Obama has shredded the Constitution. Therefore it is Congress's duty to remove him from office.

The lawsuit is Boehner Inc.'s way of AVOIDING his duty to impeach.

It's ironic that Boehner would use an unConstitutional way to charge Obama with acting unConstitutionally.

Obama deserves impeachment at the very least, although frogmarching and throwing him roughly into the dirt would be better. This lawsuit is a distraction and a fig leaf for Boehner Inc.

Any right thinking court will toss it out.

Obama cannot beat the system

The system will break him down sooner or later and will haunt him even after he is no longer a president.

 

The system never forgives and never forgets.

Obama is making big, big, big mistakes by creating powerful enemies.

 

History never forgives such leaders, never. History is brutal.

If Obama were white, he'd be forced out by now.

The system has some more patience with the first black president, but it will eventually run thin.

There will be no mercy. Big mistake creating powerful enemies, big mistake

And just how long does that take? He has gotten away with everything that he cares to do. The invitation of a hundred thousand interlopers on this single round shows the corruption of his party and the flip side of the two party rackets.

 Any mundane that has children in the public education gulag knows what will happen to the rotten education that the totally politicized welfare project for Public Schools gets the new influx of unteachables takes hold. Their concerns will be ignored and the system will ratchet down several more cogs.

 This is yet another ploy to insert even more hatred between newly formed factions that would never have formed without this invasion. It is just another way to use PC politics to demonize any that care about the last vestiges of what was considered to be "American culture".

 Everything that Obama does aims at destruction of the remnants of what the mythology of what was good about "America". He leverages hatred.

Now in REAL court action....

Went to the Pre-Trial Conference in the courthouse. Don't have much occasion these days to get out a suit (a relic from my dress up days, Oppenheimer 31st floor)so I did and added some shoes/shows that Bateman would have approved. Button down shirt with bolo to complete the look. 

Standing outside watching the opposing, plaintiff's attorney step up to all the men, obvious defendants, and ask them if they were me. He was dressed like a young attorney, fresh out of school perhaps four years ago, carrying a massive debt, working for the banksters, shitty suit coat that didn't match his slacks. Crappy shoes, unpolished. I knew it was him as he had a "foreign" name and so here he sticks out. I mean he won't look Polish, Irish, Native,Black, Hispanic or vanilla white, right? 

Once we were inside the Court he figured out I was the guy he was looking for. Score one for me. I fucked up his expectation. He motioned he wanted to speak to me outside the room. He wanted to know what my intentions were. Let me see...I have opposed every motion you have presented, I have asked for sanctions against the Plaintiff and the attys, I filed a counterclaim, served discovery...three rounds, and you want to know my intentions? I gave hime my dead shark eye stare right into his left eye. Don't get to use that much. He folded and asked if I would settle. Well sure, dumb fuck. Treble damages ( under Unfair Trade Practices Act) and my house free and clear. (Yeah, I know, how do they do that when they aren't the owners?). 

Back in the court the judge asked the plaintiff if they were ready to set a date. Ummm...No, they said they would seek a delay. Judge asked me. I said I would object to delay. Judge knows the moving party should have a good reason for delay but these dumbfucks had no real reason. Judge said no delay. 

So FUCK YOU FIRST HORIZON HOME LOANS AND NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE, LLC. See you fucks in court. 

And that is real court! Now back to the circus already in progress....................

But they do have the Constitutionally enumerated power of the purse.  The GOP surrendered like the bitches they are and passed a two budget resolution and even trashed the sequestration provisions passed into law just a couple of years earlier.  

Rotted, liquefied flesh falling off the Republic and its Constitution.  It is all but gone.  Sorry for the pessimism, but there are too many dots to connect not to reach such a conclusion.  Only individual actions can turn back the tide.  I doubt there's one percent willing and able.

how can a branch of government sue a person?
and if it can will the imperial presidency
not defend its person in position of prowess
and providence? is this some kind of "three branches
of government walk into a bar" joke?
i have heard them before. funny, but the world is
turning and opportunity is entirely foreign and
wasted on these simple creeps and thieves pretending
at being coherent and enlightened statesmen. imho
.
suing for what and what purpose exactly? so they
can avoid actual thinking, learning and governing?
seems better to get rich licking bankster pole, they have decided,
freaks giving freaks a bad name i say; the worst
ruining the worst even.
..
"exceeded executive authority" they say. these
morons gave the president the authority to kill
americans (extra judicious my friend) and now they have a problem with health care.
think about that for a while.
.
there are rats running in the tuileries as we speak.
.
but, all this runs up against the fact that the "too fucking
stupid to stop" have discerned a legal and financial method,
following the genius of organised crime of the early and middle
20th century methods, to scam and filter every last cent from
the economy via monetary systemic construction, corporate fraud,
lobbying, corrupted legislation, media nlp mind erasure
and cognitive rape of the general public.
.
here is the field and the war is on.
.
why not impeach the position for treason?
is there no constitution whereby law is rightly
established anymore? if not , then you can all go
()off() as you please but leave me out of it.

But not impeached?  Seems like the House is bypassing the constitution by asking the Supreme Court to step in.  The constitution prescribes a remedy and places that remedy squarely in the hands of Congress, starting with the House, to administer.  And they come to the Supreme Court, hat in hand, for a remedy?

Wang Kunxiao, president of Yantai Jereh Oilfield Services Group (Jereh), has become a new billionaire as shares of the Chinese oil and gas service provider he co-founded with fellow billionaire Sun Weijie surged more than 60% this year amid an shale gas equipment boom in China.

Spare us your righeous zio indignation.

Ziobonics is a fairly easy language to master. The goyim must told they are anti-semitic, it was the joos, you are an idiot, crazy, paranoid, need to take your meds, all Arabs must die.

Other weak phrases designed to dazzle the goy with chutzpah and result in backslapping and hava nagila dancing with other mensches at bar mitzvahs include:

Putin is your hero?Putin fan boy?Putin is NWO, he is just playing you-godd cop, bad cop?They are shooting bottle rockets out of Gaza
In rare cases it works but with most instances, the reverse reasoning and common sense is so bizarre, even the most fluoridated of the goyim pick up on it immediately.

The constant references to meds is almost congenital as the Bolshevik Hava Nagil boys were found of medicating any goy in the former soviet union who had any political ideas that did not correspond to those of the Trotskyites. It was so pronounced they were sent to the Gulag, small pieces of the skull removed and fluoride poured in. It worked everytime according to Solzenitzsn. Of course it also partially relates to Freud, the so called father of psychiatry. He was shunted by Viennese society and tried to strike back by promoting supercilious theories such as the id and superego and oedipus complexes. He wanted to degrade his detractors. Such ridiculous theories are now laughed at in Europe. It was much easier than puttin in the long hours of laboratory work to actually study the neuron.

Of course such theories are generally put forward by the B team. We haven't seen much of the A team around here, still waiting.
