It is interesting that they picked a liberal to take the case

Excellent choice. It shows it's not ideological lawsuit. It's people from both sides of the aisle defending the Constitution. As Turley has said, Obama and the Dems have waded into very dangerous territory. It's time the people put the office of the Presidency back in check.

Its really a issue of the law as written and if the president can change it as passed by congress or if the law they wrote stands as written. Basically they did not understand this could happen when they wrote the law. Likely too bad ;they will need to change it by same means they passed as is. House>Senate>president.

Yes, I think it is a good pick as it removes partisan clout from the case.

Turley might be the only honest Democrat left in America.

TeamObama has had a rough week/month/year ...... Turley taking this case is going to give them a major case of Heartburn. Kudo's to both Boehner and Turley. Jonathan Turley has a LOT of Credibility with both Congress AND the American Public. Very well known, a staunch Democrat and a Man who is convinced that Obama is over-reaching to the MAX. Somebody in the White House is under a desk, sucking his thumb.

The Supreme Court has consistently said "NO" on that.

Congress has the power to amend any law in a new bill and present that bill to the president for approval.

Constitutionally...

From OP link

Jonathan Turley;

"As many on this blog know, I support national health care and voted for President Obama in his first presidential campaign. However, as I have often stressed before Congress, in the Madisonian system it is as important how you do something as what you do. And, the Executive is barred from usurping the Legislative Branch’s Article I powers, no matter how politically attractive or expedient it is to do so. Unilateral, unchecked Executive action is precisely the danger that the Framers sought to avoid in our constitutional system. This case represents a long-overdue effort by Congress to resolve fundamental Separation of Powers issues. In that sense, it has more to do with constitutional law than health care law. Without judicial review of unconstitutional actions by the Executive, the trend toward a dominant presidential model of government will continue in this country in direct conflict with the original design and guarantees of our Constitution. Our constitutional system as a whole (as well as our political system) would benefit greatly by courts reinforcing the lines of separation between the respective branches."
