Hastings (D-FL) made the following statement on the latest lawyers to flee Speaker Boehner’s toxic lawsuit: “As I predicted in the Rules Committee when Speaker Boehner proposed this political stunt to quiet the extremist end of his caucus, House Republicans cannot find any credible lawyers willing to take up their lawsuit against President Obama, even for $500 an hour. “That two firms have already quit on them in a town as partisan and divided as Washington tells you how little merit there is in this whole debacle. Republicans have deliberately hamstrung our economic recovery with their political games. It’s time for them to quit wasting taxpayer time and money. It’s time for Congress to get back to the business of leading this nation.” Congressman Alcee L. Hastings serves as Senior Member of the House Rules Committee, Ranking Democratic Member of the U.S. Helsinki Commission, and Co-Chairman of the Florida Delegation. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
