whatever that means. whatever that means could mean addendum to anything miche miche michele bachman said. we don t know what that means either and lawsuits can take a long time. boehner can point to this and say that s the only saving grace, it actually can t come to fruition. i just think and john you cover capitol hill, every time boehner suggests the nuclear, there are members of the house republican caucus, yes, the nuclear option, impeach the president. they are not cowed by the primaries we have witnessed, they are foe meanting as much fraktous behavior as she possibly can to open the door to impeachment and we seem to be playing with fire. i think he s probably hoping this will keep them quiet long enough to get past that. once they get into this

since foreverairy, right. we can t trust the president he has this overreach. we re trying to break that so we can force him to it gives them cover for that and gives democrats a lot of political hey to make. raising money to make. they can say this is a horrible thing, they are trying to attack the president. i feel like ifs a see saw, it definitely favors democrats, also because history shows us, josh, when you try and impeach a president in a second term in a midterm election it doesn t work out so well for house republicans. that s exactly the thing. boehner is under a lot of pressure to take the fight to the president. you have the south dakota republican party voting for the resolution saying republicans should impeach the president. ted cruz saying they should impeach holder. defund the executive branch,

fresh in everyone s mind you think it s tied i wonder, talking to advocates, folks who call this man the deporter in chief, there is real frustration you know this, been to the board and met with the deported that the white house has waited too long. it s not about getting an amend policy handed down. people want the president to act. i wonder whether there is truly pressure and true frustration with this white house when they say it s time to act. i thinked advocates are dissatisfied. the president did extremely well with latino voters and asian voters in 2012. hufr frustrated they may have, they are much more frustrated with republicans. the problem for immigration advocates is this issue works politically for democrats either way, either they get sub tan tifly what they want and that pleases their base and creates more democratic voters or don t get what they want and can blame
