Republicans in Congress file lawsuit against Obamacare

Washington Times:

... John McCain of Arizona and Ted Cruz of Texas, have joined to support a lawsuit challenging the legality of the Affordable Care Act and accusing the president of repeatedly ignoring the law he signed for political reasons.

The lawmakers have signed onto a legal brief in support of a lawsuit filed by Sen. Ron Johnson, the Wisconsin Republican who is asking a federal court to overturn Obamacare’s special treatment for members of Congress and their staffs.

“The unlawful executive action at issue in this case is not an isolated incident,” the brief states. “Rather, it is part of an ongoing campaign by the executive branch to rewrite the Affordable Care Act on a wholesale basis.”

The brief contends that, if left unchecked, the administration’s campaign “threatens to subvert the most basic precept of our system of government.”

“The president of the United States is constitutionally obligated to take care that the law be faithfully executed; he does not have the power to modify or ignore laws that have been duly enacted by Congress and that he believes are constitutional,” the friend-of-the-court brief states.

The total so far signing on to the litigation is 38.  While they make a valid claim, the first hurdle they will have to clear is "standing" to be allowed to sue.  If they get by that, I think they have a real shot.
