Precisely..................."standing" is a crucial part of this lawsuit, or, in other words "grounds for the suit"

Much like for Impeachment, except different.


SGG

I wondered about that. In a civil lawsuit, isn't one of the arguments about whether or not the plaintiff has standing to sue? If not, the judge can dismiss the whole thing, can't he? Happens all the time, doesn't it?

But Republicans insist Mr Obama has selectively enforced laws duly passed by Congress, upsetting the balance of powers written into the constitution.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a question that keeps popping into my head whenever I hear the GOP and, particularly, Ted Cruz and company, complaining that the president has overstepped his bounds.

What specific laws has he selectively enforced and which has he broken entirely?

Does anyone know?

Boner's Big Lie:

Quote:


from the BBC news story.
"This isn't about Republicans or Democrats. It's about defending the Constitution we swore an oath to," Speaker John Boehner said during an impassioned debate in the House on Wednesday evening.



'The US House of Representatives has passed a resolution to sue President Barack Obama for allegedly exceeding his constitutional powers.

The 225-201 vote (was) along party lines.'



C'mon, JohnBoy, of course it is...
