Here come the quacks: The Latest Plan To Stop Obama's Iran Deal: Sue Him!

[cal04]

Now that the legislative battle to stop President Obama’s Iran nuclear deal has failed, conservatives are considering taking the fight to the courtroom.

A federal court ruling Wednesday that found members of Congress had standing to sue the administration over the Affordable Care Act has empowered some Iran deal opponents to suggest lawmakers could also bring a lawsuit against the administration over the Iran deal.

In a press conference Thursday morning, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) entertained the idea, telling reporters legal action was “an option that’s very possible.”

Eugene Kontorovich, a Northwestern University School of Law professor and writer for the Washington Post legal blog The Volokh Conspiracy, further laid out the idea:

6. Losers.

When Republicans lose at the ballot box, they'll cheat to win. When they lose in the legislature, they'll use extortion and threaten to shut down the whole country to get their way. Then they can't govern, they try to use the court system to get their way.

See a pattern?
