“I will convene a meeting of the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group for the purpose of initiating action by the House to defend this law of the United States, which was enacted by a bipartisan vote in Congress and signed by President Bill Clinton. It is regrettable that the Obama Administration has opened this divisive issue at a time when Americans want their leaders to focus on jobs and the challenges facing our economy. The constitutionality of this law should be determined by the courts -- not by the president unilaterally -- and this action by the House will ensure the matter is addressed in a manner consistent with our Constitution.”John Boehner knows full well the American people want everyone to concentrate on job creation. So, he releases a statement that makes it sound like he has no choice, because of the unfortunate choice others have made.
Notice that the statement says nothing about his opinion on the matter. A divisive issue, with no word on which side of the divide he is on.
