Poll: Boehner lawsuit a 'political stunt'

A majority of Americans view House Speaker John Boehner’s (R-Ohio) lawsuit over President Obama’s delayed implementation of ObamaCare’s employer mandate as a “political stunt,” according to a new poll released Monday.

The survey, commissioned by liberal advocacy group Americans United for Change, found 51 percent of voters don’t believe the lawsuit is legitimate, versus just 41 percent who do.

Moreover, 56 percent say the lawsuit is wasteful spending, with just 36 percent saying it is a good use of taxpayer dollars.

“Congress — and John Boehner personally — already have record low poll numbers. These new findings indicate that the lawsuit against Obama will just reinforce Boehner’s image as an out of touch leader with the wrong priorities,” said Tom Jensen, whose Democratic Public Policy Polling firm conducted the survey.

without any charges, much the way they impeached Clinton over a one sided affair with an overheated groupie. They would impeach now, try to find some charges later, the way they always do. Even the Weeping Cheeto knows what a disaster that would be.

This lawsuit makes no sense and Boehner does not have standing to bring this lawsuit
