I don't think it was obvious to the person who wrote the title of this thread.

I'm talking about your comment about congress being able to sue for something and not get it.

No [BLEEP] Sherlock.

Actually it's not obvious. The Obama administration tried to argue multiple times that a majority of the House of Representatives does not have standing to sue in court, that their lawsuit must be joined by a majority in the Senate as well. Until Obama got into office they're actually weren't that many cases like this. but the judges decided that a majority in one of the two houses is enough to have standing.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
