Threatening to sue Obama was a political gift just one step short of impeachment.
It gives Obama and the Dems leverage going into the midterm elections. Just ask the voters if they prefer that their congressional representatives do the job they were elected for or just sit on their asses and do nothing instead?
This is America and when you are given a job you are expected to perform and deliver results.
If the right wants to hold Obama accountable for not getting anything done then suing him for actually getting things done makes no sense. But it does make sense for Obama to use that lawsuit to draw a clear distinction between himself and the GOP. In essence it is the perfect political ploy to exploit going into a midterm election where the focus is on Congress.
And let's not forget that this message will resonate with women voters who have just been smacked down by the recent regressive SCOTUS decisions. The Dems can generate enthusiasm amongst women voters and enthusiasm amongst the base based on the ludicrous lawsuit.
From a Dem POV these are political win-win issues when it comes to November. Whether they will carry the day remains to be seen but I will be surprised if it doesn't at least hold down the GOP gains to less than they would otherwise have been.
