A GOOD SIGN FOR THE HOUSE LAWSUIT:  Judge digs deeper into House GOP’s lawsuit against Obama. The appropriations count of the complaint is very strong. If the House cannot protect itself against executive encroachments on its power of the purse, no one can, and this aspect of separation of powers is rendered merely precatory. The good news is that Judge Rosemary Collyer (a smart cookie) seems to understand what is at stake in this lawsuit.
