(Update) Whatever happened with Boehner’s lawsuit against the president?

The TanMan, Weeper of the House John Boehner, told Americans this past summer that he was filing a lawsuit against the tyrannical Obama because he had delayed the implementation of a provision of “ObamaCare” that Boehner’s own Tea-Publican House had voted over 54 times to repeal (Newsflash: the GOP intends to schedule more repeal votes in the next Congress).

Back in September I told you about Whatever happened with Boehner’s lawsuit against the president?  While low information voters and regular viewers of FAUX News thought that the lawsuit was filed at the time the TanMan announced it, the lawsuit was never actually filed. And a similar case to the one Republicans were pushing was thrown out of court. Court tosses Obamacare mandate lawsuit brought by doctors.

Since then, the TanMan has gone through two law firms who took a look at this turkey of a case and decided not to pursue it (probably out of concern for a violation of professional ethics not to file a frivolous lawsuit).

Steve Benen reports, House GOP’s lawyers give up on anti-Obama lawsuit:

More than four months after House Republicans announced their historic plan to sue President Obama, the litigation, like so many initiatives from GOP lawmakers, has become a fiasco. Josh Gerstein and Maggie Haberman reported overnight that the Republicans’ lawyers have given up on the case — again.

House Speaker John Boehner’s still-unfiled lawsuit against President Barack Obama for exceeding his constitutional power is in more trouble.

For the second time in two months, a major law firm has backed out of an agreement to pursue the case, sources say.

Apparently, the attorneys responsible for the case decided to give up “in recent weeks,” but we’re just learning about their decision now. Boehner’s office wouldn’t comment on why they quit the case, though a spokesperson for the Speaker told Politico, “The litigation remains on track, but we are examining the possibility of forgoing outside counsel and handling the litigation directly through the House.”

The piece added that some in the D.C. legal community “believe it’s possible no suit will ever be filed.”

[I]t seems pretty obvious there is no constitutional crisis, the lawsuit was a fairly pathetic election-year stunt, and there’s just no reason to keep this rolling fiasco alive.

As we  talked about the other day, it’s not too late for Boehner to concede this was a bad idea from the start. Republicans can save us some time, aggravation, and money by just giving up on this nonsense.

FAUX Nation got played. This lawsuit was supposed to be a substitute for their ridiculous threat to impeach the secret Muslim Kenyan Marxist for being Black while in the White House. You can bet now that this election-year lawsuit stunt is almost over, the crazies in the Tea-Publican Party are going to be making noises again about impeachment. Once Boehner lets that insanity out of the box, there is no putting it back in the box.
