Third time the charm? House GOP secures another lawyer for a proposed suit against Obama House Republicans have hired another lawyer to handle a proposed lawsuit against the Affordable Care Act. George Washington University School of Law professor Jonathan Turley will handle the suit, according to House Speaker John Boehner's office. He will be the suit's third attorney. Professor Turley is a renowned legal scholar who agrees that President Obama has clearly overstepped his Constitutional authority. He is a natural choice to handle this lawsuit," Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said in an email. Boehner said in June that he would sue Obama over his use of executive actions. In July, House Republicans voted to proceed with the lawsuit, which will focus on a narrow area of the Affordable Care Act. Boehner said last week he is considering expanding the prospective lawsuit to include any possible executive action Obama will take on immigration. Republicans have had a difficult time securing, and keeping, counsel for the suit. Last month, Washington firm Quinn Emanuel stopped working on the suit, which has not yet been filed. In September, Baker Hostetler abruptly pulled out of the case.
