Why, Johnny! We didn't know ya had it in ya!

Check out the Speaker on the House floor yesterday:

''To think that the president of the United States studied constitutional law!' he boomed. 'He didn't just learn constitutional law. He taught it himself.'
'Enough is enough!'
The move came less than 24 hours after Boehner and other Capitol Hill leaders met with Obama in the White House to air their differences over legislation that would likely make up the bulk of congressional business for in the coming months. 
On Wednesday, Boehner was in no mood to compromise. 
Obama's unilateral move, he said, is an 'executive overreach ... an affront to the rule of law and to the Constitution itself.'
'What we are dealing with here is a president who has ignored the people, ignored the Constitution, and even his own past statements,' he said.
'In fact, on at  least 22 occasions he has said he does not have the authority to do what he did.'
And then Boehner read them. 
Obama, he recalled, told an El Paso, Texas audience in May 2011 that immigrants'-rights activists 'wish I could just bypass Congress and change the law myself. But that’s not how a democracy works.'
And then the House passed an amendment to the Homeland Security budget bill defunding executive-order amnesty - and one defunding Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals!

BAM!

I'm liking a lot of what this new House is up to so far.  Now, stand firm as things heat up.  The Most Equal Comrade will demagogue and the sycophantic media will howl.  Don't cave, folks.
