Discussion: Paul Ryan On Stopping A President Trump's Muslim Ban: We'll Sue Him!

I am sure that at least 2 or 3 of the remaining few Supreme Court justices will agree with you.

The first pre-impeachment in U.S. history. I wonder if they’ll wait until the convention, or start the hearings now.

It’s all relative, I guess. He’s accused the President of treason, the candidate of murder, and a competitor’s father of conspiracy to assassinate a President. And he’s dropped f-bombs and bragged about his tool. But he hasn’t accused anyone of cannibalism or necrophilia yet, has he? Or used the c-word? There’s any number of things I hesitate to befoul this honorable board with that he might do. We got five months, and we may not have seen weird yet. Just sayin’.

Every day in every way, Ryan shows he is a gutless wuss.

Sue him?? Have you scrambled your few remaining Tea Party gray cells with psychedelic mushrooms? He’ll tell you ā€œGet in line!ā€

Resign. Stand on a street corner with your teacup and beg. You’re worse than useless.

Right. And the laws of physics don’t change no matter how high you are. But with Trump, everything he’s done and will do makes that ā€œBut Hillary’s worse!ā€ dodge a less and less sufficient counterweight. They’ll be scraping Ryan up with a snowshovel at some point for sure.

The prospect of a sitting, Republican Speaker of the House threatening a lawsuit against a policy proposal of the presumptive Republican Presidential nominee, should he be elected, is bat shit crazy.

ā€œI am going to keep being who I am, I am going to keep speaking out on things where I think it’s needed, where our principles need to be defended, and I am going to keep doing that, I hope it’s not necessary,ā€ Ryan said."

ā€œAnd I will keep on posturing, preening, and prevaricating. I will endeavor to keep on teasing and dissembling before a fawning press. I will persevere in inventing puerile titles to legislation that mean the exact opposite of what the bill is intended to do. I will never give up my magic asterisks because the freedom to invoke miracles and cast off the shackles of objective reality and evidence-based policy is an inaliable right. And if the GOP lasts for a thousand year, men (and a few odd women) will still say, this was it’s derpest hour.ā€

#1 The Republicans can never have enough committees
#2 The Republicans love to hold pressers…err hearings.
#3 The Republicans love sending out subpoenas. I bet they have drawers and drawers of subpoenas just waiting to have names and dates filled in.
If you can’t legislate hold hearings!

Sue him! Well, I guess Paul Ryan is a helluva lot more like Donald Trump than he cares to admit - besides the fact that they are both colossal dicks!

trumpet’s lost Krauthammer whom I’m assuming still has some influence, but in this silliest of seasons maybe not.

More riskily, Trump is now going toe-to-toe with a sitting president.

Barack Obama is no Jeb Bush. He’s not low energy. He’s a skilled campaigner who clearly despises Trump and relishes the fight. And he carries the inestimable advantage of the gravitas automatically conferred by seven and a half years of incumbency. Moreover, he now enjoys an unusually high approval rating of around 53 percent. Trump’s latest favorability is 29 percent (Post-ABC News).

He concludes trumpet’s authentic but not electable

Yeah…that’s worked real well with a Democratic president. Do these people have ANY grip on reality? Isn’t this the same party that professes a real loathing of trial lawyers?
