#1 I sense some frustration and desperation on the part of Boehner. A civil suit would be equivalent to Goldman suing O.J. for his assets. O.J. was running and around and playing golf before he got really stupid in Nevada and thrown in the slammer for conviction in a criminal case. This case is at best meant to harass and annoy and wrest some control away from Harry Reid, Obama, and Holder. No one will serve jail time.

#4 No one will serve jail time.

What part of "The lawsuit could set up a significant test of constitutional checks and balances" did you miss? It's more like a constitutional version of laying the groundwork for establishing a RICO claim.

And yes - 'planning' doesn't mean anything. More likely he's running up a flag and seeing if the establishment GOP will salute it.

#5 Maybe he smells whats cooking.

Could be an attempt to make up for, at least face wise, hiring out democrats to help an establishment GOP win a primary.

#6 I hope he does succeed - it would help reign in a lot of the executive bullshit that both Bush and Obama have done.
